Are you referring to the motor control that operates the actuator door? You should be able to remove the kick panel, disconnect the wire harness and remove 4- 10mm screws (most are phillips head as well, a stubby scewdriver gets at them easily), gently pull straight away, taking care not to bend the delicate actuator arm it connects to behind.

I've seen a few of these (mine included) go out, usually on the dual climate controlled models the driver side. The common failure is the gear teeth on the main input shred off, i.e., the gears bind- and usually make a clicking noise under the dash when the air control is engaged.

Dunno if you already knew all this, as a younger mechanic I'm learning as I go, so figure if I can save you a couple minutes hopefully it helped.

I think the going rate on majestic honda, etc is $43 or so for the unit.

yeah i think that is what im talkin about i took the center vent panel off and i could see a lil flap that controled the air flow of what way it went to dash or floor. so I'm guessing that i would have to remove the navigation system out to get to all that?
