Default Climate control issue

Hey all,
I have researched a ton on this and have found nothing except pressing and holding both a/c and the recirc button for a few seconds will cause cycling from recirc and fresh air during long drives. My problem is the a/c is stuck on and both recirc/fresh air lights are on and it blows warm air. Before I try new climate control brains I figured I'd post here. I have pulled the blower motor the blend door is actuating properly. Also, I don't

have full blower motor power as if in limp mode of some sort.

More than likely, you need a new CC controller box. Nobody has been able to disassemble and repair that...

thank you for your reply! After my troubleshooting that's where I landed. Just wanted to check here for any last input lol. Any idea where I can get one? I'll search the junk yards here.

To anyone that may have this issue in the future, turned out to be the white ribbon cable. Which is weird bc I installed the aftermarket head unit a year ago.....and it just now started causing issues from slight crease in the white ribbon cable.

Damaging the white ribbon cable by folding it is the kiss of death in many CC cases.

having the same symptom when i went to turn on heat. Its Cold here now. But this is how the controls ended up. Low blower power and only cold (i assume ambient) air. I was thinking damper was letting outside air in incorrectly. No heat at all.
But i have not been in the dash for any modifications (or to have caused damage to the ribbon cable). So should i assume that it is the actual CC controller and not just the cable would you think?
