Why does heat blow out cool.
Turn heat on heat blows out cool air. Defroster blows cool air. No blown fuses. Started car remove cap from radiator turn heat on high let car run to see if heater warms. Heater does not warm and car does not over heat.

Is this a manual or automatic HVAC system?

With the engine at full operating temp, locate the 2 heater hoses where they go into the firewall and feel them to see if they are both hot to the touch. If they are both hot, the heat in that vehicle is controlled by a blend door that regulates heated air flow. it is operated by an electric motor/actuator. The problem can be that the actuator is stripped or inoperative or the door itself could be damaged. This is what needs to be determined by examining the actuator and see if it is responding to heat change commands or not.

Where is the electric motor/acuator and how can I get to it. I hear opening and closing.

The entire dash has to be removed to access it.
