Hi, JC.Okay this is for the EATC version, driver's side (Left Hand). It doesn't look that much different than in the videos for manual climate control, looks to me like 1.5 hrs on your first try, 1 hr or less once you've done it a time or two. It does look like a different part # for the EATC blend door motor than for the manual version.
Frankly I would DIY this repair. See attached Workshop Manual Pages which also include the instructions for the center console and steering cover removal to do it.
The actuator itself is only ~$25 or so delivered.

What kind of manual is this? Is it specific to just the 1 model year (2003)? I have a 2010 and want to get the workshop manual, but the Haynes is for '02-'10, and the reviews say the interior pics are only as recent as the 2005 model.
Online I'm also seeing a PDF manual available from eManualOnline, but not sure if it's more specific to the 2010 model, or if it's even a reputable manual.
Thank you
