If you put it back on you can cheat a bit, cycle through the vent positions while you watch the actuators with the engine idling. If the other ones move as they should just swap the vacuum line off one of those to the questionable part. If it starts moving the problem isn't the actuator but probably the control head or the line to it. Another test would be to select the vents and pull the line off, put your finger on the line, can you feel a strong vacuum? If yes then it's the actuator, if no it's the controller or lines.

You're welcome, If the testing shows you which parts are bad even better.

Under the hood, middle of the car, back near the firewall, underneath everything. There was an elbow on a hose that had cracked. Don't remember what part the mechanic said it was under, but I would have never found it, can't see that far down into the car.

That's how they like to hide. Makes it so you can't hear the leak. Good to hear it wasn't something worse. Thank you for the update and for using 2CarPros.
