instructions replace blend door actuator 2003 chevrolet suburban

my rear ac only blows hot air through both roof and floor vents and whether it is set on automatic or manually controlled. when i first start it up, it will blow cold for a very brief time then go back to hot within a few minutes.

I just got a new compressor installed and fully charged up the system. I am convinced that the actuator is the problem but don't want to be taken for $500 to install a $50 part. is there an "easy" way to do this? I don't know where the actuator is located but the blogs are saying under the drivers side, or perhaps behind the stereo head unit. can someone walk me through this, or save me from my misery and tell me I am SOL and need to take this back in?

Auxiliary Air Temperature Actuator
The auxiliary air temperature actuator is a 3-wire bi-directional electric motor. Ignition 3 voltage, ground and control circuits enable the actuator to operate. The control circuit uses a 0-12 volt linear-ramped signal to command the actuator movement. The 0 and 12-volt control values represent the opposite limits of the actuator range of motion. The values in between 0 and 12 volts correspond to the positions between the limits.
When the auxiliary HVAC control processor sets a commanded, or targeted, value, the control signal is set to a value between 0-12 volts. The actuator shaft rotates until the commanded position is reached. The module will maintain the control value until a new commanded value is needed.
