Default Need Help---Heater door stuck?

Hey all,

Recently did the 100k overhaul on my 2000 coupe. once everything was put back together and ran some seafoam. the little internal door that opens/closes to draw hot air into the passenger compartment seems to be stuck and will only blow out cold air. I can hear it trying to switch but nothing happens. Does anyone know where this little guy is? and what i need to do? any help will surely be appreciated.
other than that everything went smoothly, just trying to blow out all the crap (pine needles, dirt, etc) out of the radiator faces. apparently this was never done lol, oops. any advice or tips?

Try a search for "HVAC actuator"

I had a similar problem and pulled the positive battery cable for a couple of minutes. Worked fine after that.
