The heat just stopped out of know where it started getting cold in the morning and it was hot in the afternoon. the first few times I had taken the control for the heater all the way down and then back up to get it to work, but now if I put it on ninety it is still blowing out air at sixty degrees. I am going to the junk yard tomorrow so suggestions would be great. thank you.

scan for codes first, a mechanic has to do this as it is an automatic temperature control. also, check fluid level.

y pulling hvac fuse inside car with key on for 60 seconds it may reset the actuator . if not you'll have to check for a bad actuator which is in center of dash. however if auto temp control a mechanic should scan this to see if something else. see piic
