So I'm brand new around these parts and need some help. I have looked just about everywhere for the answer and can't come up with it

I have a 98 yukon. The engine heats up to normal operating temperature. The fan speed control works fine. But it is stuck on defrost and the temperature does not switch from cold to hot. I have checked the fuse block and pulled the hvac head unit to see if either were the problem but everything looked fine. My friend told me about a relay that could be an issue

Where do i go from here. I'm in Wyoming and winter is coming.

Thanks in advance

Most likely what you have is a failed controller. Pretty common to happen on 1995-up. You've got multiple failures there so it's not like you simply have an actuator stuck or bad.

By controller do you mean the hvac head unit with the speed select temp select and defrost to feet air?
