The blend door on the 1500 is on a vertical axis and the actuator motor is located on the bottom of the heater box. You can locate the motor under the passenger side dash. If you remove the motor, you will see a black interposer that connects the metal motor drive to the metal blend door axle. You can pull this interposer down with your fingers or a pair of pliers and examine it for cracks or total failure. The most common blend door fail on these models is for this cheap plastic piece to break.

The Blend air door is located inside the HVAC housing under the dash. Dash has to be removed to access.
The blend door actuator motor is located on the bottom of the plenum box on the passenger side towards the transmission tunnel. It is easy to remove and examine the motor to blend door connection. The blend door on the Ram is made of metal and seldom breaks. The problem is more likely the plastic interposer that spans between the metal drive motor connection the the metal axle.

Low on coolant. Stuck open thermostat. Plugged heater core. Faulty temp blend door.
I just worked on a 1997 Ram Xcab 4x4 last night. 'm not sure if it is the same but- The blend door was actuated by a cable and was located on top of the heater box assembly just beside the actual heat coil. The dash must be removed before it can be accessed. It is really not too bad. I removed the heat coil and checked/cleaned it and then reassembled everything in about 3 hours. The blend door didn't have any problems on my truck. The actual problem was in the heat coil. It was not installed correctly in the box.
It depends on the model truck. I have a 1500 quad cab and a 2500 mega cab. Both have different fixes for them. The 1500 can be repaired by taking out the glove box and getting to the blend door that way and removing it and then replacing it after pulling the hamster wheel out. The 2500 has to have the whole dash rolled out to get to the blend door. As a dodge tech doing this for money is fine since I make 6 hours of labor out of it but when it is my personal truck and not under warranty anymore it sucks. I wish Dodge would warranty the blend door since they know they don't last and they came out with a fix for it now. The transmission on my 2500 is another thing they need to replace. The new 08 diesels have a new manufacturer for the transmissions.
