Where is my blend door motor

[wooky1971]

I have a 1996 Ranger 2.8 5 speed. I was working on a no heat problem which turned out to be a clogged heater core. While working on it I noticed that my selector for defrost/dash/floor is not doing anything. I have air coming out of all three places and turning the selector switch does not change anything. Every video I see tells me the blend door motor is supposed to be on top of the heater box. Mine has a cable to select hot or cold which works fine. I do see a plug going to the side of the heater box which looks like the one for a blend door motor. Is that sucker on the side and is there any way to get to it without tearing out the whole dash?

According to this you do not have a motor.

Correction. You might have a motor if you have electronic temp control. But it is only for the temp setting.

The A/C electronic door actuator motor (19E616) is located on top of the A/C evaporator housing (19850) assembly and controls A/C air temperature control door (19D842) movement on command from the control assembly. Internally, an electronic circuit accepts commands from the control assembly and positions the A/C air temperature control door with a reversible electric motor. A separate potentiometer feeds A/C air temperature control door position information back to the control assembly.
