Well after some troubleshooting it turns out the drivers side actuator was the culprit. I decided to replace both the actuators and all is well.
The whole process from start to finish took me about 2.5 hours including two trips to the parts store one for an actuator and a 5.5mm socket, and the other for a new ambient light sensor since mine disintegrated in my hand on removal. The actuator for the pass side wasn’t too bad once you loosen the 2 10mm bolts on the pass side of the dash and pull it away from the mount. You’re then able to prop the vent register up on top of the dash cover and can actually get a hand in there to get at both screws and remove the actuator.
The drivers side one was much easier and just required removal of the kick panel on the pass side foot well and it’s right there. I tested the one that cam out and it would self test and then get stuck in place and. Or move no matter what temp I dialed in on the dash. It looks like the drivers one had been replaced at some point once before as it didn’t match the pass side one under the dash.
Thanks everyone for the advice and input!
