Sounds like your climate control head unit has gone bad. Wait for the pro's to give a tip or tw0.

Sounds like one of your blend doors is stuck and wont close all the way.
The way they do duel climate control is that each side has its own "blend" door, it opens to let in heat, closes to let in cold air.
If it will not close all the way...warm air even though you want cold.

OK, I was thinking the Auto had the AUTO option. That is what mine has.

Yes you do we have every available option in our cars that was available for 1995.

To me that leads to a bad climate module.
