Blend door?

So let me start by saying I'm mechanical but by no means a mechanic.

I have a 2006 base model pilot front and rear climate control but not driver/passenger. The ac blows warm air front and back, heat works just fine. It's condensing (water on the drive way) and the tube behind the cabin filter is ice cold. I can see what i think is the blend door motor/acctuator (white cable to white linkage) working when i turn the knob from cold to hot on the dash. Any bright ideas?

Thanks for the replies. There are no after market mods im sure everything is still hooked up and the cabin filter is new. So the white cable to white linkage i was refering to must be the the heater control valve. It goes from warm air to heat no problem and a can watch it acctuate. So my best guess from my online research is the blend door or blend door motor can anybody point me to where the motor is located. The best i can tell is that you have to take dynamite and remove the dash.

I'm not 100% sure anymore, but when I cleaned and fixed the chattering issue on the air mix motor I disconnected and manually moved the blue cable, and I believe it controlled temperature and seemed to override what was showing on the climate control (see pic). Maybe it slipped off the metal pin? Maybe some other issue with mix-motor?

This was on a 2004 Pilot EX-L.
