temp control stuck on cold

2000 ram 3500 4x4 cummins turbo. Temp. control is stuck in cold position on either a/c or vents. can go from a/c to vent but nothing happens when i turn temp. control **** from cold to hot. looked at fuse box under the hood an saw a open spot for a relay that said (02 front heater). I don't recall ever seeing a relay in that slot and know I never removed one. Any and all opinions will be greatly appreciated.

unsure about a 2000 but 0n a 98/99 it is cable actuated, sounds like a broken/unsecured cable......from dash control to top of core/evap unit might have to pull dash (2 hours with cheats) check the back of dash control first.

Pulled dash control and found only a plug with 3 wires going to it. Unplugged it to make sure wires were OK, all looked good no loose wires. thanks for your help!

Check if the **** is cracked on the back and just spinning on the shaft.
It can feel just like it's turning but it's not.
