I'm going to replace the blend door actuator on the passenger side. I just wanted to know how many actuators there are. Besides the 2 for temperature control on LH and RH sides.

In the dual climate system, there are two blend doors (DB and PB) actuators for temperature control. Then there is the mode actuator (AD) which controls floor, dash, defrost and last there is the inlet actuator (IN) which changes where it gets the air from, inside the cabin or outside the car. The passenger side actuator would be the same as in this post:

Okay, another question for you I'm getting heat on driver side and cold on passenger I replaced the climate actuator on the passenger side and it was moving while I would switch the temperatures from heat to cold and it's still blowing cold on passenger side any ideas what else I could check? Coolant level is good, no smell like Coolant leakage. Could there be a blockage? Should I flush the Coolant?

It's possible that the door itself isn't moving. Was the linkage attached? A blockage is possible, but with that core it shouldn't be hot on one side and cold on the other as it's all the same core. A flush wouldn't hurt with that many miles.

Do I need to do like a reset, unhook the battery and hook it back up?

Pull the actuator linkage off, now use a tool to move the door itself and listen as it moves. See if you can hear it, also see if you feel any change in the airflow.
