I've checked the air mix door actuator under the glove compartment and it still works. Moves back and forth no problem. What else could be causing the blockage of cooled air to the front ac vents?

The blend controls temp of air mix ---look for the the other actuator a little further away that controls the flow direction --if working than look for debris on duct

SOURCE: Problem:

Problem is most likely in the electronic blend door motor or the door itself has broken.
To access the electronic temperature blend door actuator remove cassette storage box or center shelf unit, if equipped.
Remove instrument panel ash receptacle by depressing service lever. Disconnect electrical harness connector from A/C electronic door actuator motor.
Remove three retaining screws.
Carefully pull A/C electronic door actuator motor outward and off A/C evaporator housing assembly.Make sure the door it self is not cracked where the actuator hooks to it and that it will move.
Here ia a link to a pick of what you are looking at.

There is a actuator on the right side of your leg while sitting in the drivers seat under the dash. It has a plastic rod for actuation manually actuate this diverter and should be the problem.

Blows cold air with heater on

It's most likely the "blend door", which moves back and forth between the a/c or vent position, and the heater position. There is an electric motor that moves plastic gears back and forth to adjust the temperature, and it is common for the largest gear to crack. When this gear breaks, or something else causes the mechanism to disengage from the blend door, it tends to fall to the full cold position. If you want to try to fix it yourself, you can get to it by removing the four screws holding the change drawer/ashtray. The mechanism is towards the right side, behind the glove compartment. It has a knob in the middle of it that you should see move (use a flashlight) when you adjust the temperature. You may be able to twist it by hand if it's broke, and if the fan is on full blast, the air will hold it in this position until you turn it off and it falls back to the cold position. Here's a link I found that is more in depth:

Front heater dont work but back does

Sounds like the heater control actuator/door isn't opening. Should be under the dash middle to passengers side... on the heater box. The temp switch on the dash causes the actuator to open and close the baffle/door. It may have an arm thet moves the door or it might be that the actuator itself mounts to the heater box. With vehicle running, turn the temp control and watch to see if the actuator is moving. One actuator will move to position the defrost/mix/vent/floor... usually on the drivers side middle... the other should open the heater blend door. Usually hard to get to on most vehicles. Hope this helps, Mike

Heater stopped working. Got the car use about a month ago and it worked fine up till now.

Have the heater temperature control blend door actuator checked, that is the usual problem, the actuator moves the air temperature control door that moves back and forth to supply hot and cold air or a blend of the two air streams from the heater core and the AC evaporator core, I have changed out about a dozen of them for this problem of no heat, the actuator is located behind the glove box to the left on the air duct, it has a small electrical connector going to it, very hard to get at.

My a/c won't blow cold and heater doesnt get hot

Is the heater working? Turn the A.C. off with the car at an idle. Turn the A.C. on and listen for the compressor to turn on. (should hear a click under the hood and the motor should change pitch. If no noise, the compressor is not comming on. The o-rings were bad about leaking on these cars, letting out all the freeon. If there is no freeon, the low pressure switch won't let the compressor run.

the door opening & closing on Max a/c is the inside/outside air intake door.
The temp blend door is the one you are concernd about. It says you have to remove instrument panel for access. ouch!!!

-------------------------------------
A/C Electronic Door Actuator Motor
The A/C electronic door actuator motor (19E616) is located on top of the A/C evaporator core housing assembly.
  • Its function is to move the A/C air temperature control door on command from the control assembly.
  • The A/C electronic door actuator motor contains a reversible electric motor and a potentiometer. The potentiometer wiper is connected to the actuator output shaft and moves with the output shaft to indicate the position of the A/C air temperature control door.
  • Battery voltage is applied to the ends of the potentiometer. The voltage available at the wiper indicates the position of the potentiometer. The actuator wiper voltage is sent to the control module and matched with the wiper voltage of the module potentiometer. The printed circuit board then drives the actuator motor in the direction necessary to make the actuator wiper voltage agree with the control module wiper voltage.
