Originally I thought I could fix or repair the broken actuators located on the driver side of the HVAC box but I soon realized that the actuators were fine, the box itself was broken off where the actuater sat.
By actuater I mean the plastic arm pieces attatched to the box that rotate when the mode dial is turned.
Pics of what I mean....
This is where the box was broken:

And this is what it supposed to look like...

All the insides and moving parts are replaceable on the the boxes. I decided to take a better dash vent door from my old box and install it on the nex box.

Once I got the dash back together and had the chance to check my work I turned the key on, and turned the fan on and NOTHING. I quickly figured out the problem....well two problems actually.
1-the blower resister that came with the box was shot so I swapped it out for my original one.
2-The wiring harness was fucked up....it was melted and corroded at the male plug end. I had to splice the plug out for one off my original box.

I also decided to clean up my wiring jobs over the last few years by re routing and bundling up together my wiring. Much cleaner now,

Just a small tip, if you need to get at the bolts on the firewall, lay an old blanket across your engine. It makes it waayyy more comfortable to sit there while you fuck around getting things apart and back together again.
