Can anyone please tell me where the mode actuator is on a 2000 lesabre with automatic temp control? My vents are stuck on mid and won't change to floor or defrost. I bought the mode actuator and now have to find where it's located to install it.

The mode actuator is to the right of the gas pedal and it is above it, looking up, if you were to lay with your head at the foot of the driver's side. There are two panels that cover it. One with clips. Another with two bolts. It is no easy task to maneuver and reach it.
 
I had to look it up on all data and pay for a month subscription. It's on sale right now with a promo code fall20 for 20% off so it was 15.99 not bad since I can go in there and print every foreseeable repair I may do in the future. The whole month I should be able to print the whole car. Anyways I posted a screenshot of what they show for the mode door and mix door. Apparently you have to remove the mix door first then the mode

But you can see it looking under there? Thanks for the info all I seem to find info on is the blend door. Same with the part. I ordered mode door from rock auto and I got a blend door. The only mode door I can find is genuine gm mode door for $75
