Blending Door Actuator Replacement
Hello fellow Porsche enthusiasts. I have a '12 Turbo and wondering anyone has replaced their blending door actuator?
I'm blowing hot air on the driver side, and freezing cold on the passenger side. I hear a buzz from behind the stereo, so I'm assuming the actuating motor is stuck or no longer operational?
Is the motor located behind the head unit?
Can someone point me toward directions?
Thank you!

I'm very much aware the Porsche Cayenne (the 2012 Turbo is a 958 generation), there isn't just one actuator; there are several. However, the one responsible for the left/right temperature difference is typically located deep within the dashboard, behind the climate control unit and potentially the head unit area.
It's a tight fit and generally considered a labor-intensive job because you have to remove a good portion of the center console and sometimes other trim to access the screw holding the motor in place.

I'm going to take the head unit and center column out to see if I can find the motors. If successful, it'll make for a good DIY write up
