I have changed the two fuses for the hi/lo fans. I don't know what else to do. It is still blowing hot air when I set it to cool air. What do I do?

I have a 99 Dodge Interpid I have used the ATC when ever using the air. Up until yesterday the A/C has worked great. Yesterday morning it was a little cooler so I increased the temp to get some warmer air. No problem, the air was redirect to my feet and was great. Later in the day as it got hotter out I lowered the temp on the control to get the A/C going again. The air was redirected to mid level as it should, the problem is it is only blowing hot air. I know the A/C is working as the compressor kicks on and the lines coming out are cold. I know the doors redirecting the air are working since I cycled through all of them. It's just the mixing door is stuck in the hot position. I need to know where that door is and what do I need to do to repair it.

It sounds like the blend air door. It is located near the heater core in the HVAC system. Adjust the temp from hot to cold to see if it is working.

Did you check to see if the compressor output line going to interior is getting cold? It usually gets frosty.

husband has noticed water pooling in back floor of car but also a little wet on front passager side. No apparent leak from doors, windors or any where at this time. Could it be the a/c it has been very hot and it is on consently?
