Heater problem, only blowing cold - Ford Forums

hi to all
if any one can help i would appreciate it
I have a Ford Mondeo 1996 p-reg mk1 1.8td
I have had the heater on the cold position for around 3 months now, and now with the cold weather coming i put it on warm other day, and it only blows cold.
I checked the water temp, that is ok
I have replaced the thermo for a new one Today
and still blows cold
The Temp control on the dash does not seem to be altering it from cold to hot
Do these temp controls work on a wire?
Were can i look if the temp control switch is working ?
I am not very good with car repairs, but i guess it must be some sort of flap, that opens and close's when you move the temp controller
Is it a big thing to have a look if the switch is accually working ?
If any one can help, with any pics of the actual heater unit this would be fantastic
As i don't want to get it in the garage and spend a small fortune, as i only use the old mondeo for fishing, but its getting colder in the mornings
thanks for the use of this forum in advance

I got the same problem. I got a 1.8LX Mondeo 1997.

There is a problem with the controller for the heater temperature on my car. It seems very stiff to move between hot and cold.

its the cable
Ive sorted mine
done away with cable, and left the flap shut, so get hot air all time
