The heater selector switch is stuck blowing heat into the cab and won't switch to the defroster.

Your '02 has electric actuators. Can you see/hear them moving? Watch the linkages, they may have broken.

If you have to replace the actuator then calibrating it requires a DRB.

Chrysler scan tool, that most dealerships don't have any more. You can find them used on EBay and such though, but, they sure aren't cheap.
