Default Manually Move Blend Door?

I have a 2001 with dual zone climate control. The Passenger side actuator is shot and blowing HOT air. I'v pulled the fuse and disconnected the battery and it wont reset. Since its 100 degrees out now, is there any way for me to get in and manually move the blend door so I can start getting cold air out for the rest of the summer until I change the actuator in the fall? Thanks!

I'm sure that there is but by the time you reach that point, you will be in position to change the actuator.

He is correct. Slotted shaft comes out the side of the air box, acuator fits onto the end. To turn the shaft requires removal of the actuator.
