Your guide to locate "The blend door actuator" was useful, but in order to replace it, I need to remove first a black soft plastic cover, that is set with one zinc plated screw, but removing the screw is not enough, the cover can´t be removed yet. I can't see where are the other fasteners or screws.

3. Disconnect the wire harness connector (1) from the blend door actuator (2) located on the left side of the HVAC air distribution housing (3).

4. Remove the two screws (4) that secure the blend door actuator to the air distribution housing and remove the actuator.

NOTE:
LHD model shown. RHD model similar.

1. Position the blend door actuator (2) onto the left side of the HVAC air distribution housing (3). If necessary, rotate the actuator slightly to align the splines on the actuator output shaft with those in the blend air door linkage.
