Driver's has A/C, passenger side blow hot air. I think this means the passenger side blend door actuator is bad. I located the part but there is a wire harness right in front of it and I can't seem to be able to the move harness to get to the electrical connection and the second screw to remove the actuator.

The replacement looks pretty straight forward, can you please upload an image of the problem you are having? Here is how to calibrate the passenger's side blend door actuator which is easy as well.

Remove Smart Junction Box (SJB) fuse 15 for at least one minute.

9. NOTE: When the ignition switch is switched to the "on" position, the HVAC module will initialize and calibrate the actuators. Calibration of the actuators will take approximately 30 seconds.

Reinstall SJB (Smart Junction Box) fuse 15. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and wait 30 seconds before verifying correct RH temperature blend door operation.

Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response to any problems so we can see what to help you with.
