Yes, there is a reset which I would try first.  From the Facelift Owner's Manual (http://images.omegaowners.com/documents/UserGuides/OmegaOct2002.pdf)

"If the electronic air conditioning system is not functioning in the usual manner: press the AUTO and OFF buttons simultaneously for approx. 5 seconds. The servomotors will be synchronized,  during which time the fan will temporarily switch off."

You should hear whirring noises when the buttons have been held down long enough. 

Failing that, probably the blend valve actuator arm popped off on the driver's side.  Some links:

I should perhaps add that the guide describes the fix to the passenger side.  I believe you will need to do the job standing on your head in the drivers side foot-well  :(.  Can anybody confirm who has done driver's side?
