It is located on the top of the HVAC housing and the dash has to be removed to access it.

I need to replace my blend door actuator on my 1996 Ford Crown Victoria but do not not know if I have manual or automatic air controls and they are sold as such, can you tell me how to distinguish between the 2? Thanks

He manual controls will have switches for the heat and another for the fan speed. The automatic system is more of a mini-computer that controls itself.
