How do you know if the actuator is bad on a 2002 S-10 ZR2?
Assuming we are talking about the temp blend door actuator, if the air coming out of the heater ducts in the cab is cold and the temperature control is on hot and the engine is running and fully warmed up (195 degrees) and the coolant reservoir is on the full mark and both heater hoses under the hood are hot, you probably have a faulty temp blend door actuator. If you have one heater hose that is hot and the other is only warm or cold, you probably have a plugged heater core. If both heater hoses are only warm or cold you probably have a stuck open thermostat.

With vehicle warmed up and running feel both heater hoses with your hands. If one hose is hot and the other is cold or luke warm, the heater core is plugged. Flushing the heater core should help. If both heater hoses are hot, the temp blend door actuator behind the dash may be broken in which case the entire dash assembly would have to be removed to repair/replace the temp blend door actuator.

Assuming the coolant level is full, it could be a stuck open thermostat or a plugged up heater core or the temp blend door actuator is broken. Run the engine for 10 minutes or more then feel with your hands both heater hoses, if they are both only luke warm change the thermostat. If one is hot and the other is luke warm flush the heater core. If they are both hot I would suspect the temp blend door actuator isn't working.

Blend door actuator and heater core on 2000 ford windstar works why are you still getting cold air?
What about the blend door itself? They are known to break loose from the shaft they mount to. Also, with the engine running and fully warmed up, feel both heater hoses as they enter the heater core from under the hood, they should both be quite hot (180+ degrees F). If one is hot/warm and the other is warm/cold, the heater core may be blocked/plugged. If that is the case give the heater core a good flush with the garden hose. If both heater hoses are hot, you still have a blend door problem as stated above. If both heater hoses are cold, you may have a stuck open thermostat or you are very low on coolant.
