Default Is this My heater Control Valve

My heat wont work and im not sure if this is my heater control valve. If it is are the correct hoses attached because one is dangling as you can see in the picture and there is a plastic peice sitting where i believe that hose is supposed to go.

That is the heater valve. I leaned on mine before and ended braking it real easy. I got a replacement from Aliga for real cheap. Try sending him a PM.

I gotta put my 2 cents in on this...I just recently replaced mine as well and I was lucky enough to get the entire unit for only $50...The damn Lexus stealership wanted $396 for the entire unit and the only part that needed to be replaced was the plastic valve itself ...I guess the reason why it's so expensive, is because there is an electric motor and solenoid that operates the arm that opens and closes it...Funny thing too, is that the Lexus dealerships always seem to have this part in stock, since I'm guessing that this part is very common and is known to go bad and start leaking.
