The car is not dual climate control. The passenger side only receives outside air. When the A/C is on in the summer the passenger side is warm from the outside air. In the winter the passenger side does not heat up only blows cold air and the windshield on the passenger side does not defrost. Suspect it is the blend door actuator on the passenger but cannot find the location. Please help.

Hi,

It sounds like you have a couple things happening here. Lets start with the fresh air issue. There is a way to adjust the fresh air/recirculate door. I'm going to provide the directions. Do this first and let me know if it helps.
