A/C Acting Up - Either COLD or HOT - nothing in between
How's it going guys, I've searched and couldn't really find the exact problem I'm having. Here is the situation.
My a/c either blows COLD or HOT.
On the "MAX COLD" setting, it is cold, no problems there. But when I turn the temperature **** even 1 notch to the right, the heater kicks on and blows heat.
I went to a Lambs Automotive (an Central Texas-based auto repair chain) and they told me it would cost $600 to replace ($400 for part, $200 for labor). He told me the Temperature Control Module (the unit that connects the volume and temperature *****) went bad. Before spending that kind of money, I wanted to see if I could do it myself. It was a pretty simple install and cheap part (thanks to Aliga), but the same thing happens. So I can only assume Lambs misdiagnosed.
If anyone has had this problem before, what was the outcome? Any advice would help. Thanks in advance.

yeah the themostat is in located in the bottom of the engine...follow the lower radiator hose and where it ends at the motor is where it is located...i think if remember correctly
