have any coolant leak repaired lately?sometimes it is very hard to get the air trapped in the cooling system out.also there is something called a air blend door motor/valve under the dash.if you move the control from cold to hot you should hear something moving under the dash.

Behind the temp panel the wires or hoses are back words

You can tinker with it, if you know how to get behind
the knob and look for the loose wires and re-solder it
in place.

You have a broken wire connection between the temperature control knob and the circuit board behind the center dash console. Vibration causes the failure and once the control knob gets loose the solder connection fails.

For someone that knows how to remove the dash unit and can re-solder a couple of new wires this fix should take no more than 1 hour. Make sure that you apply loctite to the heat control knob spindle nut when you re-assemble it.

The dealer quoted me 750 dollars to fix this issue and I found out that it's a common failure for this year. I fixed mine virtually for free but it took some tools and about an hour of my time.

you have to replace the dash a/c control

The nut that holds the middle knob has gotten loose and the knob (which is probably loose) has caused a wire behind it to break. I found the fix on the internet with details and pictures and all you need is to take the cover off and solder the broken wire back. I don't know where the website is now but search "toyota highlander blows hot and cold" and you might find it. Good luck. don't let dealership put a new control panel in.
