In a 2002 Mercury Sable, the blend door controls the temperature of the air entering the cabin by regulating the mix of hot and cold air. It is typically operated by an electronic actuator or a cable connected to the climate control system. When the driver adjusts the temperature setting, the actuator moves the blend door to allow varying amounts of heated air from the engine and cooler air from the AC, thus achieving the desired cabin temperature. If the blend door malfunctions, it can lead to inconsistent or incorrect temperature control inside the vehicle.
It's buried in the dash near heater core, almost impossible to get to.
