Heating problem..
Hey guys, a few days ago i noticed my car starting to overheat, so i check around and find that one of my hoses had a crack in it that was allowing the coolant to leak out.
So I changed out the hose, and everything has been fine up until now. I get in my car tonight and turn on the air, but it is blazing hot. So i check the water temp and everything is fine, so i turn off the air conditioner, and turn the **** to 0. But even though I did that, i was still recieving a large blazing hot air supply in the cabin.
Does anyone know how I can go about troubleshooting this problem?

I think maybe the timing of replacing the hose and this issue is coincidental. The first thing I would check is the actuator under the steering column. They are known for failure. It's a small cam of sorts, with a metal clip about 1/8" wide and 1/2" long. Look for it lying on the flooboard. Just lay under there looking up with a flashlight and ignition on and cycle the control from hot to cold and you'll see some movement. Follow it and see if the rod has come out of the cam.
