AC Works only in COLD mode

[katit]

Need some help with this. In 2000 LX AC works only when it's on MAX COLD. Otherwise blows hot air.

I for some reason think it might be inside temp sensor, but not sure. My first idea was to see what sensor reads in Techstream but couldn't find anything like that.
I can only see if AC compressor ON/OFF in techstream and seems like compressor operating with AC in ON position, but it blows HOT if temperature is anything but COLD.

Also, windshield defrost/defog button doesn't do anything when pressed. No blowing and no light indication.

Appreciate any help with those..

EDIT:

Good new and bad news. I pulled panel to check temp sensor and sure enough it's disconnected.
So, this is good news. And I think that would fix it except for the defrost button.

However, bad news is:
1. Can't locate connector. May need to disassemble more, do you know where it coming from? Center console side or steering column side?
2. Why and why were there...

Hi Katie,
I am Chasing the same issue. Did you ever find that connector and did it fix the issue once you connected it?

There should be a hard ribbed plastic hose (mine was white, 99LC) that connects to the temp sensor, and an electrical connector that plugs into the sensor as well.
I would look up around the ignition, and over kinda behind the climate control areas for them. Might be tucked up outta the way by someone who was in there last?

I finished cleaning the paint with my porter-cable DA buffer using a 5" micro fiber medium cut pad with cutting compound. I had to adjust my timing to catch early mornings while the ambient temperature was cool. Much above 72 deg and the cutting compound just worked me to death. The paint looks...
