Hi so I took the car to the car wash where it's very humid I had turned on the AC to keep the windows from fogging but then the next day my blower motor was frozen from moving.
Put a heater on it then it started working again about three hours later  when it's -30f. Next day it froze again after getting it very hot for an hour.

So I'm curious how do I get to the blower motor so I can wipe out the moisture.

If it is anything  like the Edge, you drop the glovebox to get at it from underneath.  Look up the MACTFORDEDGE  channel on youtube.

Thank you I didn't check back before doing but I'd like to add that the rear left screw is reverse thread I tried for a few minutes the right way notice it didn't even budge tried the other way and it came loose
Here are the photos of the motor.

I had a heater on it the area was very warm w/ also auto started it for 30 minutes not sure if all that dried the water out but it was completely dry just can see the red soap or wax dried on there.
I left the panel off so if I need to replace it or give it a gentle kick to turn it back on it should be much easier.
The motor turned freely.

You will need a 7mm and 8mm 7 first 3 then 8 for the motor.

I would have sprayed liberally with electronics parts cleaner to get it cleaned out, but not sure if it has exposed greaseable parts or not.

Fingers crossed, it's back in business.

It might be worth to also check the Blower Control Module Resistor if its not functional!  [9L3Z19E624B].They work in accordance to each other.

Btw check the cabin filter to verify it's not wet. Z

Oh man your correct I should have first checked the cabin filter the first time it froze
Well it worked this morning.
I'll check the filter at lunch.

Well the filter had no signs of water in it completely dry
Does any one know of an easier was to get the filter cover off the left one has to many sharp edges in the area.
Maybe just use mechanic gloves.

Grab a pair of needle nose pliers and pull the bottom TAB UP and should pop off.

Alternative is using a mini flat head screw driver and insert it behind the TAB and PULL IT UP & outwards. Z

Ok now the blend door isn't operating I thought that was frozen but won't work still when I had heat in the car for 8 hrs same as before

It did kinda show signs of going out I was messing with forscan and in the error codes said the motor circuit was closed but then restarted the car and everything was fine...

So I know I have seen at least one post on this but how would I diagnosis this issue or do is there one main motor to replace for the blend doors?
Right now I believe it's just stuck on panel mode.

Well don't think that was the issue. Here is the code I'm getting I should have thought to check fuses first but thought more would go out by one fuse but I'm sure I'm wrong so I'm going thru the book. Unless you guys know anything before me.

I have alot more fuses under the driver side but can't find description of those just under the hood and passenger side fuses. I guess the driver is passenger side since there are non in that side.
Wish they gave me a fuse pulling I haven't been able to grab any with my cold fingers.

The HVAC module runs off a fuse in the BJB, and controls power/operation of the blend door actuators.  Very likely the problem is in the connector/wiring, or in the HVAC module itself if replacing the blend door does not work.

So if the blend door actuator works then maybe there is something broken in the blend door? Or maybe that is still frozen shut?  Or since I still get open circuit then that means the HVAC module maybe?
For the last week when driving the climate would trunk off and the error said something about timeout but no actual code. So I'm leaning towards replacing the HVAC module except for the motor works when  I run the test.
