Climate Control NFG

I'm having intermittant problems with the climate control in my '87 5ksq.
When it's working, it seems to work fine (aside from the fact that my A/C
is just about shot), but on occasion it seems to get "stuck".  I just got
back from the grocery store and all the way there and back it would blow
nothing but full heat, despite the warm temperature outside.  Even setting
it to "Lo" produces heat on these occasions.  Turning the climate control
completely off results in a very small amount of hot air coming from the
front defrost vents and directly at my feet.

To which I humbly reply:
Coupla things:
1. The little motor on the A/C controller can get weak. BTDT. Dealer part (up
here anyway) 'bout $100
2. Cracked solder joints inside the A/C controller where the solenoids attach
to the circuit board. BTDT. Inspect _very_ carefully. My mechanic uses a
loupe!
3. Sticky water control valve.
4. Get a Bentley if you haven't yet. :)
