do actuators need to be calibrated?

What is your question?

cold air comes out of front passenger vents only front passenger vents. three rows of seating, all others work. was told by dealer repairman that actuators were car specific and had to be calibrated so I would not be able to replace them myself. cost of new actuator from dealer were $150 more than at parts store. I feel I was ripped off.

nothing improves condition
