    Hi All,

    My car is not blowing any hot air through the vents. Temperature is set to high/correct setting. I got my car looked at and the mechanic said the car has the proper coolant level, no air in coolant system and nothing is leaking. Hoses going to the heater core/through the firewall are hot also. He's pretty sure it's the blend door actuator. I am pretty sure it's that as well because for the past year I had been hearing clicking under the dash. I found one actuator and it is the driver side foot-well but I don't believe it's the one that controls hot or cold air. Does anyone have a chart that shows where all of the actuators are located? I'd like to know where the one that controls the hot/cold air from coming in is located before I try tearing apart the dash. Thank you.

    There ought to be another diagram right near that one, showing the air outlet and temperature blend servo motors on the other side.

    Those two are not too hard to get at, though in Gen 2 there's an ECU kind of blocking access to one screw. Look for the past where somebody showed a super-flat offset screwdriver to get that one.

    Edit: weird,I now see the mix servo called out in that diagram, in green even. Is that for sure a Gen 2 diagram? I was pretty sure that one was still on the other side.
