My A/C has been having problems. Will not change settings (defrost etc, ). I changed the blend door actuator by the gas pedal, but I can't figure out where the other one is. Is it going to be very hard to get to?

Yep, that would be the mode blend door actuator. Here is the location so you can check it out. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

Yes, it is the lower actuator right above the gas pedal.

I think it is the higher one. The mode door actuator. The lower one is the one I already changed. Any hints how to get it out of there?

I am sorry, you are correct, it is the higher one :/ I would use a small mirror on a stick and 1/4 drive sockets with a universal to get the mounting screws out. You might need to remove the throttle pedal and any brackets that are in the way. Have a good weekend and let me know if that fixes it.
