Vs statesman climate control problem

[merc002]

Climate control panel has an x on it most of the time.When the x is on all I get is hot air out of the vents.The air con will only blow hot air when the x is on.I also have an issue with a lot of hot air coming out from under the dash.Ihave noticed that the pipes going to the heater box dont have any insulation on them thus generating alot of heat.Should the pipes be insulated?The heat is that intense that you need to drive with the window open.Can anyone help?

Try this.I found it on here.It puts the climate control into diagnostic mode.It might give you an idea of whats wrong.(Hold "amb" and turn the ignition on, then press "off". Release buttons. That gets you to the screen test. Press "amb" again and that takes you into the diagnostic mode. "Up" and "Down" buttons take you through the diagnostics, along with "amb", but I haven't got the "addresses" at the moment.) Let us know how you go.
