Hi, I cant get the heat to work in this car. I replaced the thermostat, flushed and cleaned the system. The a/c works fine. The knob for the heat/cold spins all the way around tho, I know thats broken. But what about the heater control valve, where is that located and the control for how hot/cold you want it, could that be the problem?

For you to find the troubled area
have to start and warm engine
open hood and check heater hoses by the firewall
both hot its a blend door and or actuator issue
if one hot one warm or cold
heater core have to be flushed
