Default 06 ram A/C control going bad?

ok here's the deal. I noticed one morning that only one mirror had defrosted. I decided i would check it out when i got off from work well a few minutes later i turned the heat down on my feet to warm them up well it just started blowing out of the dash. so i moved the dial to feet and face and well it was blowing on the dash and face. Are these two problems related within the control panel?
I looked on ebay for a used one and i found a few. i even found one with a dual climate control for the passenger and driver. but i dont know if that one will work or not. Has anyone had any problems with theirs?

Here's a link that might help you out.
Check the video sections on how to isolate which blend door and even which actuator is goosed. They even have replacement parts to fix the the HVAC right up.
If your under warranty, take it to the dealership asap and get them to fix it though.

Hope this helps?

Alright i gave up on getting to the blend door actuator and said f it i dont need it anymore anyway since its warming up. Well a few mornings ago it was kind of chilly so i kicked it on defrost and feet and what do you know it was blowing on my feet, and WAIT whats this both heated mirrors were working too! i was so relieved. They still work so im hoping it'll stay working.

Just installed the recirc door for my '06 from heatertreater.net and saved myself around $700. Stealership wanted $850 to do the job and I paid $129.00 to heatertreater. You don't have to remove the entire dash plastics to get access to this one. All I did was pop off the glove box and drop the blower motor down by removing the 3 screws to get access. One door down, the rest seem to still be functioning properly......**crosses fingers.**
