Default 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.

Regards,
Russell
