Help needed ASAP! heat/cool guages are HOT

[Supergumby5000]

Well, im installing a new stereo into my X this weekend, so i thought i might as well bring this up while its all torn apart. My air knobs (or whatever you want to call them, the AC/defrost/vents hot/cool ect ect) get REAL hot to the touch, and i am not sure why. Its sometimes to the point of where i can touch the back plate of where the knobs rest on, and i have to pull my hand away because its so hot, like BURNING hot. whats up?

Perhaps....you got a short and it's heating up. Open it up and look.

If it's that bad where you can burn yourself from touching it.. Then I would really not drive/use the truck until you check it out first. If it's burning hot, that means something seriously is wrong and you can cause your truck to catch on fire. Check it out quickly!
