The blend door actuator is bad. The actuator blends heat and cold air to your desired temperature setting. It is under the dash on the right side. I have to replace mine on my 98 Oldsmobile Aurora about every 2 years or so because the gears inside the actuator crack then slip on the blend door. You can buy 1 at the parts store for around $130... or order one from Amazon and pay $13 on up.
