A/C vent/duct repair
Searched for information on this; I seem to recall there was some good info on this website a few months ago:
A/C works however only blows from teh defroster and center area. Need info on the actuators for the vents/ducting and removing the dash; anyone?

You need to check if your battery has leaked and eaten the vacuum line going to the A/C, causing a vac leak. The symptoms you describe sound like a loss of vacuum to the HVAC. Also, your PCM and connecting harness' can be damaged. Here's a link to the acid problem and the cure.

If that's not your trouble, then you may indeed have actuator problems. I would check the acid situation first, as that can wreak HAVOC on your cars electrical system. You can pull the access panel in the passenger fender well very easy, and check for the leaking battery.

Yeah I get the battery acid concern and when I put in the L92 I pulled the ECM and have a new battery; and there is no battery acid leak, nor is any wiring damaged. In posting this I was more interested in getting information on the actuator and it's replacement as this is an area I am unfamiliar with.

Just a suggestion, but since you obviously don't need that info, and you now have the pass side info, here's a How-to on the drivers side actuator.

Thank you for the info; this is what I was looking for.
