Default 2001 Caravan passenger side temp control

Hello,
I have a 2001 Dodge Caravan. The passenger side has its own controls for temperature. The blower works fine on all speeds but just won't respond to adjusting the temperature (going from hot to cold still produces the same temperature). The driver's side works fine. Any pointers on where to begin?
Thanks!

Run the calibration proceedure for the hvac head. Do it when the vehicle is warm and see if you can feel a temp change while the test is running. The proceedure is as follows -
  1. Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
  2. Simultaneously depress and hold the Power and Recirculation buttons on the heater-A/C control for at least five seconds. The manual heater-A/C control power Light Emitting Diode (LED) and Recirculation LED, or the Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) heater-A/C control Delay and Recirculation graphics will begin to flash when the calibration procedure has begun.
  3. The calibration procedure should take less than two minutes to complete for the manual heater-A/C control, and less than twenty seconds for the ATC heater-A/C control. When the LEDs or graphics stop flashing, the calibration procedure is complete.
  4. If the LEDs or graphics continue to flash beyond the normal three minute (manual) or twenty second (ATC) calibration time, it indicates that the heater-A/C control has detected a failure and a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) has been set. Use a DRBIIIŽ scan tool to perform further diagnosis. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information. The LEDs or graphics will continue to flash even after the ignition switch is cycled Off and On, until a successful calibration is completed or until the vehicle has been driven about 13 kilometers (8 miles).
