Ma61 heater

I've just had the heater core replaced and AC re-gassed due to leaky core, but now the vents constantly pump out hot air no matter where the dashboard temp setting is. I only get cold air if the heater temp control unit is unplugged, which causes the electric slide in behind the dash to move to the cold position. Has my temp control unit karked it or is it some other part? Suggestions?

Ahhh.. now that you put it this way. I am pretty sure I know whats wrong with it. Tim (zzt231) had a problem exactly the same as yours about 2 months or so back?
Came down to a dodgy resistor pack of some sort. I'll try to get him to post a picture.

Actually it was James (Viper_Nipplex) who had the problem... My problem as always been fueling problems and still is 
Supra6, Under the center console there is a thermostat thingy that controls the tempreture for the whole car (You can see it as it's a black thing with a fan and a pipe that goes from it to an opening just above the rear ashtray), if that is disconnected the car will blow hot air. Connect it up and start the car. After a while when the inside of the car is warm, Put the fan speed to "Auto" move it after a while the fan should slow down when you play with the thermostat slide thingy and adjust the temprature.
If it still plays up, PM me as I have a "spare thermo thingy plug under the console" laying around and we can try and test it with that or try and diagnoise the other problem... (faulty heater tap valve from a vaccum leak etc...)
See how that goes.
Cheers.

Thanks - i plugged the thermostat back together and now the sliding temp control works and i can get hot & cold air circulating  . BUT, the a/c still won't pump out really cold air... any more tips (maybe the a/c refrigerant is leaking?)
