The flap is inside the heater unit/box, but the motor is normally mounted on the outside of the heater unit, it's often the motor that's the problem.This is not one that i'm familiar with, but try removing some of the lower facia panels or the glove box, if it comes out easy & you may be able to see it.

thanks for the answer jim where do i find this flap

It may be a problem with a motor unit which operates the hot/cold flap on the heater unit inside the dashboard/fascia. If it,s sticking in position, it may be overloading the control switch.
