How to change thermostat?

Hey guys wondering if you can help.
I have a 04 and it doesnt seem to be blowing hot enough air from the vents. Could this be a thermostat issue or something else? If it is... Where abouts do I find it on these cars?
Any help or thoughts would be helpful
thanks

Could be the temp adjust dial on the dash. They have been known to go bad. As a matter of fact mine went bad the other day.
Try this,, Turn the radio on and then hold the On/Off button down and then hold the top (up arrow) of Scan button down for at least a second. Should display the dial temp setting in the radio station display.
Turn the Temp selector **** and see if it changes the numbers. 0 is coldest and 16 is hottest position.
