Temperature Control

Maybe someone can help.. Here's my problem , While installing a new radio I broke the end of the cold/hot selector.
It's manual and no matter which way I slide it heat comes through , the door doesn't move.
I'm guessing the electrical loop was broke and stops it from working. Checked all fuses 3 or 3 times and find a reasonable
priced Temp. control to purchase.. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's a 2000 maxima gle.

Pull a unit from a yard. That would be cheapest. After that, eBay. After that, roll the windows down and drive faster. After that, junk the car, you've already put more into it than it's worth.

A good source is car-part.com. Find what you need, call up the yard, ask if they'll ship.

Give more detail what you busted. I can't imagine knocking off the slider button caused a failure.

Well it did. It snapped off right where it goes into the unit. There is a wire or strip or something that broke too.
It's like the Actuator door is about half way open , can feel heat and ac coming thru..
