My 04 Impala only puts out heat on the passanger side if the car. It has two heat controlls one for the dirvers side and one for the passanger side. A few months ago I replaced the water pump and thermosat because the car would not warm up. That fixed the problem but in the last few days I can not get heat out of the driver side of the dash. Do I have a bad control switch? If so where do I start to get to it.

More than likely, you have a bad or overtraveled left side actuator. If I understand it correctly, the passenger side heats and cools on command, and the drivers side is stuck in on position(full cold/full hot)?
