The temperature controls are divided between driver and passenger. The passenger adjuster is not working. When heat is on, passenger side vents are bringing in cold Air. Whether it's floor, middle, or defrost vents has no effect. When a/c is on , then it's hot on passenger side. I heard there is two doors, one is blend and other is ? Is this labor intensive to fix? I don't want to remove the whole dash. Thanks for your wonderful service you provide.

yes, there are individual blend door controller for each side. they are accessible from under the dash on each side. they are common failures for temp control issues. can you hear the doors moving??

ok, then it sounds like the passenger side has failed. you can get it at a parts store and replace it yourself. should take you 30 to 45 minutes to do this

Well I removed the blend door actuator and put power to it and it worked. So, then I checked for power at plug when operating temperature adjuster and found no power. What would be next thing I should do?
