    low coolant level, thermostat not working, air in system, clogged heater core and bad blend door motor are causes for this.

    we checked blend door and flushed heater core it has a new thermostat and plenty of coolant.We seem to have checked all the normal things that cause this problem.Still defrost gives cold air and a/c side on pannel gets warm.Is there anything else any one can think of?
