There are no other ways to move any of the doors since this whole system is electronic as pretty much everything is these days. Im not sure if this diagram will help anymore than the others, but the air mix door actuator is on the right side if facing the center dash.
Does moving the air mix door rod with everything running effect whether you get cold air on the drivers side?
I want you to check the Cabin air filter (diagram 2, 3). It will be on the passenger side, theres a small cover you need to remove (#3 in diagram 2), then you should be able to remove the filter.
Also there is a drain hose for condensation build up thats for the HVAC box, it drains under the vehicle, you may notice a puddle of water under the vehicle after the AC has been running for awhile, the water is condensation from the AC system and needs to be able to drain properly. The drain hose is usually under the the vehicle near the center, around where the HVAC box is, most are pretty visible from underneath (diagram 4), sometimes they get dirt in them being exposed to the road, but if you dont see any water dripping under the vehicle after the AC has been running, try finding the hose and clear it out with a piece of wire or something you can get up into the hose to let any water out that might be puddling up inside.
If the cabin filter is ok and the drain hose is not clogged up, I would take it somewhere (a shop) that can do a full system scan on all the modules in the vehicle, have them write down every code stored and in what module it was stored, and we can take it from there. If we can get a code out of the HVAC module, it will give us some direction to diagnosing this issue. If youre able to move the doors manually, then something else is going on. Possibly one of the stepper motors is failing and just doesnt have the power to move the door it needs to. Once you have the cabin air filter out too, take a look inside with a flash light and see if you notice anything. Let us know what you find, and we can go forward from there.
