Pull out the glove bax, and there is a panel that hides the heater core. take that off, and you can reach in there and feel the door. Turn the selector **** from cold to hot and see of it moves. If not then take the actuator off and you can turn it but since you will already be in there go ahead and replace it. It only has two or three screws to hold it in place. Hope this helps, good luck I had the same problem with no heat, but mine ended up being a blown head gasket letting the compression pressurize the coolant and creating an air pocket.
