Default 96LT1 heat problem

hello, i'm new to this forum and i have my first problem/question to pose to anyone who might know.
my 96 has the digital ac/heat system, and when i adjust the temp to warm temperatures a don't get
the heat i was getting a short time ago. could this be a thermostat problem on the motor, or is there
another problem i may be having. any tips would help, i like to work on my own as much as possible, and
i'm fairly mechanical. thanks for any and all help on this......

Could be a couple of problems - your temp control door is controlled by the a/c programmer. Seen programmers go bad, seen actuators go bad. Is your engine operating temp staying the same? If it is, then I would probably suspect the programmer.

thank you, the engine temp seems to be stable, i checked to make sure there
was plenty of coolant to circulate in the system. how difficult is it going to be
for me to try to find/fix this problem, if i can at all. thanks......

If it's the actuator like mech said, there's some pics of the actuator in a GM 's' vehicle here:

Access I imagine will be a little different...
