Passenger side temperature control

1997 Oldsmobile LSS
3.8 Litre (not supercharged)
123000 kilometers
I just bought this car, pretty good shape. One problem is that the passenger side heat has no control, seems to always blow cold. I can control the drivers side with the main, but the passenger side stays cold, and the door control doesn't do anything either. I had a 1995 Cutlass Supreme with the same problem. I replaced the passenger actuator, and all worked well. I cannot seem to find the passenger side actuator on the LSS. The door switch is connected, as it will turn the "Pass" light on the main panel when I move it. Is this enough info for someone to help me?
Thanks

I haven't been using the car lately, but today I decided to take it for a run. The temperature this morning is -8 Celsius. I can't seem to get much heat out of the system. The engine is at normal running temperature, but I still get only cold air from the passenger side, and a little bit of heat from the driver's side. Also, when I turn the "pass" control off on the main panel, it always comes back on a few seconds later. I checked to see that the passenger gate was moving, as per the above drawing, but I'm not sure that it is being controlled properly. It was a cold drive to work this morning. What should I check next?

Unhook the rod and make sure it's closing the door all the way.

I unhooked the rod, it was in the wrong place, works well now, although I don"t think the passenger door control is working.
The heat is working, but not very much heat. I back flushed the heater core, good and clean, but the hoses don"t get very hot. Could there be something impeding the flow on the engine?

It would likely be the heater core plugged up,not the engine but check the engine temp first to make sure it's getting hot eough.
