>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>is the heater blend door under the dash in the white case.
No, the blend door itself is inside the larger, black box housing behind the dash near the lower half of the center console. The whiteish looking box is the "blend door actuator" or the motor that rotates the blend door and it is bolted to the black box with an actuator arm sticking into the blend door black box thru a port. The "blend door actuator" is usually the part that fails, not the blend door itself. If you hear a clicking or clunking sound coming from behind the dash when you select heat, it should be a bad blend door actuator. This section you are in has all the repair info you need for this problem. Just look thru the older posts.
