My vehicle (listed above) is blowing hot air out of the passenger side vents when running air conditioner. It is a dual control system and from my investigation it points to the right side door blend actuator, but I am having some trouble finding it. Some info says it is behind the glove box, but when I release glove box I do not see it anywhere. Can you help? Any photos or diagrams? Thank you.

Why don't these diagrams for 2gen escapes never match the actual vehicle?
