My control on the panel for defrost, vent and floor does not switch between each setting. Stays on defrost. I keep seeing on YouTube that it is the actuator? Then I see that the actuator is for hot and cold. Before it quit working it was slowing down over a few weeks then stayed on defrost. What is my next step?

Hello,

This is probably going to be your vehicle's blend door actuator. I have included a link below explaining how to fix this.

Please go through this guide and get back to us with what you are able to find out and how it turns out.

Thanks,
