SOURCE: Blend door not working.

The bleed door controls air temp not where it comes out, dash, floor, defroster, this is most likely a mode control switch problem, that switch is on the ac control head.

I recently did mine, I hear you can do it without taking the entire dash apart but I had no luck with it myself. I have to get ready for work but, on mine it was located down and to the left of the radio. its a white box...are you hearing a clicking noise or something? I had to roll the entire dash back and it was still a major pain getting it out.

Not sure why previous poster showed you how to fix a switch in the door, but anyways.....
I had same problem as you.

My Yukon has the single overhead door, not the "barn-doors", hopefully yours is the same. Open rear cargo door. Using a trim tool (buy the set from Harbor Frieght for less than $10) remove the lower trim (at carpet), upper trim (at headliner), then the right pillar trim (mine has small Bose speaker in it). Loosen trim between passenger side back door and the cargo area main right rear trim. Remove main cargo area right main panel, by unscrewing the big black know, prying out the small plastic plug, and carefully disconnecting the AUX power plug (looks like a cig lighter outlet) once you can get behind the panel a little bit.

Now you are looking at the entire rear system. There are 2 of these actuators. The front one controls airflow going either to floor or ceiling vents, the rear one (towards middle of entire unit) controls AC vs heat percentage flowing through the ducts. Unplug the connector, and 3 screws to remove it.

Install is the reverse.
