When the temp control knob is tuned I feel a click and the heat stays on about half way all the time. I can not increase or turn off the heat. How do I troubeshoot or fix this?

The heat in that vehicle is controlled by a blend door that regulates heated air flow. It is operated by an electric motor/actuator. The problem can be that the actuator is stripped or inoperative or the door itself could be damaged. This is what needs to be determined by examining the actuator and see if it is responding to heat change commands or not.
