Does your freon system still have original freon in it? If so it could just need to be re-charged with fresh freon. Also, is your compressor cycling correctly?

If the rear air blows cold it sounds to me like you have a blend door issue. When you say you can hear the door do you mean you can hear the panel door that directs the air flow or the blend door because you shouldn't be able to hear the blend door opening and shutting..?

It's just a vacuum actuator and does not mean that it is fully opening or shutting the blend door to one side or the other. Honestly, it sounds to me like you have an issue with that blend door.
