Passenger side actuator does not work. Does the airbag need to be removed to get to it? How do you remove the glove compartment door? Thanks

You do not need to remove the airbag to get to the right side blend door actuator. So you will need to remove the glove box door and dash sub member, please check the images below:

1. Remove the instrument panel compartment assembly.
2. Remove the right side floor front air outlet duct.

I would do a HVAC system reboot as well once the job is completed, this guide can show you how.
