'89 9k ACC stuck on defrost

For some time, my ACC system only blows air through the defrost vents. The lights on the dash change in sync with a motor/servo sound behind the radio.
Someone mentioned that the drum may have become disconnected from the motor/servo. I pulled my glove box to search for the source of the problem with my ACC being stuck in defrost.
Behind the center dash vents, I found a small motor with a gear on its shaft meshing with an indentical gear at 90 degrees. This second gear is on a shaft which disappears into the air chamber's housing behind and above the radio.
When I change from defrost to floor to vent or back, the motor spins, the gears move, but the air still only comes from the defrost vents.
Any ideas how to gain access to "the other side" of the gears to see what's happening and even fix what's wrong inside the air box?
Thanks,
Maurice
