I have a 1997 Ford Explorer V6 2WD with the manual climate control center. The AC blows cold on the MAX setting, but the temperature adjust won't affect the temperature of the air. It blows HOT on all other settings, and the temperature control doesn't affect the temperature then either. I replaced the climate control center switches, but I still have the same problem. All fuses check out good. Compressor runs fine, and there is plenty of freon in the system. Have any ideas?

Have you checked the blend air door? It sounds like it is sticking. It is located near the heater core.
