[s-cars] Climate Control Gone Wild

Hi All-

Again, thanks for the recent help on my locking system "emergency." I
replaced the pump, cleaned up the acid that had leaked, ruining old pump,
and replaced the battery.  Things seem to be working fine again in that
dept.

However, at virtually the same time, my climate control has lost it's mind.
 It basically blows all hot, all the time.  (Occasionally, from a cold
start in the morning, it may work properly until next start.)  And if I put
it on auto, it blows all this hot through the dash vents, rather than a mix
between floor and defroster like it should.  It's better than no heat at
all of course (here in Vermont). I can make it tolerable by manually making
it blow at my feet (or split between feet and defrost) and keeping the fan
on lowest setting.  But does anyone have any ideas for what might have gone
wrong?  Any chance this would be connected to my recent acid leak and
problems under the back seat? When I took a cursory look at the knowledge
base, it was down for servicing.  I'll look again, but was hoping someone
had a BTDT to share.  Thanks much!
