I have a 2009 ford ranger that the temperature control knob ( the middle one that shows blue to red ) does not change the temperature. It stays on lukewarm air at all times.

Blows luke warm air only no matter if it is all the way on blue or all the opposite way on red.

Make sure the wire or cable is connected to the rear of the temperature control knob. Make sure it is also connected to the air diverted door controllers. Check the vacuum lines, as well.
