Default Temperature control not working stuck on hot

2000 Stratus SE 2.4. I can turn the hot/cold **** and it stays on hot. Fan blower works fine just wont change from hot to cold.

I take it back. The fan blower only works on high. So I need to replace the relay? (attached by two bolts and has two wiring harness plugged into it under glove box?) Would that affect the temperature as well?

Also, there was a nest in the blower box under the glove box. I pulled a white plug with a pair of wires attached to it as well as the relay? and pulled the stuffing out of it.

I just bought this car and it was sitting for a year. When I pulled the plugs out of the air box under the dash the air temp was colder than it was coming out of the vents before. Is there a way to manually move the air temp control? Thanks

OK, searching didn't work because I didn't know the name of the part I am searching for. The blend door arm is broken. I pulled the radio and manually moved it to cold. AC works great. I will fabricate a fix for it. Shouldn't be too hard. I also need to repalace the relay for the blower motor or maybe the blower motor too. I wonder if the nest in the air box had anything to do with it?

I think what your looking for is the blower motor resistor....
