    A/C blend actuator noise passanger side like a door that needs lubed. Put AC on lowest setting turn wheel so you can reach it. use engine noise tester tool to find noise coming from actuator. Remove bottom cover and glove box so you can see the door open and follow the leaver back 6" to the actuator. Then to fix the noise drilled a small hole in bottom of actuator and spread a lube inside. see pictures then run it all the way open and all the way closed a few times.
    Put your head all the way back to see it next to center of car. Up about 7 to 8 inches.
    Try to remove everything first to many things in the way just to replace part.
