Default Driver side AC actuator

does anyone know the part # for this item? I am having AC problems and I can hear a faint grind coming from the middle vent when I turn on my AC. And most of the time I feel no air coming out from any of the vents. Please and thank you I need to order asap!

Its the same for both sides. Do a quick internet search. I just fixed my passenger side last weekend. I hear its easier to get to the drivers side. The passenger side involved taking the entire dash apart-very rewarding. I almost bought a new actuator, until I saw a post about repairing a cracked gear within the actuator (similar to the headlight motor-cheap plastic gears). I fixed the gear and saved $100+ bucks. I recommend trying to fix it first before laying out the cash for a new one.

No prob. There are many threads under the Tech section that discuss removal, fix, reindexing, etc. Be prepared to clear codes in the DIC, too.
