my heat seems to stay hot constantly even if i dial down the temperature to the coldest 62 degrees. I turned the a/c on just to test for cooler air, it only blows hot air regardless of set temperature. What do you think is the problem?

 

Sounds like something is wrong with the climate control cable that attaches to the heater core. You can manually reach under the dash to the heatercore and turn down the heat there.

 

so it wouldn't involve the a/c compressor?

 

The a/c's fine it sounds like the heater control is just stuck. Try what Wayne said.

 

also noticed this morning that both cooling fans come on with the a/c on but only for about 1-2 mins before they stopped. i think they are supposed to be on all the time with a/c running, no?
