      When I try to switch from ceiling to floor air flow for rear passengers, all I hear a cracking noise as some door is trying to move but the gears are stripping or skipping the teeth. I pulled the rear quarter panel (after removing the rear spare jack compartment cover and both side storage bins) and I see the whole HVAC assembly, but do not see a blend door similar to the front. Does anybody know the part number for it and where it's located ?

      Thanks Zorin -

      That explains where it is located and I did not see it before, so thanks again.

      Now the question is if that actuator also controls the floor/ceiling setting ?

      I think the one pictured controls the blend door for heat/cold. That said, the one for direction should be very nearby.

      It'll work very similar to the HVAC box under the dash. I'll keep looking for a better breakdown, and see if I can find something.

      Thanks Partsman -

      That is it.
      Of course you have to take half of the car apart to get to that :)

      Thanks again all.

      I got the part from the dealer (more expensive - I just could not wait a week, wanted to be done this weekend).
      It took about an hour, had to take most of the plastic trims and the cargo compartments in the rear around 3rd row seat, and the whole quarter panel, and the second row seat belt on the driver side.
      Both actuators are on the inner side of the duct work, between the sheet metal under the window so no easy access, but doable.
      It works like new now.
