SOURCE: 1998 Mustang - AC blows only through Defrost vents

You probably have a vacuum leak on the passenger side. its a small plastic hose some times they come unpluged from the engine. or brake.

SOURCE: Temperature Control not working on 1999 Ford Explorer

Sounds like your temperature actuator is not moving or your temp door is broken. On max a-c ,coolant is shut off to your heater core allowing only cold air in.

SOURCE: 2002 New VW Beetle is only blowing hot air out of

My 03 conv. beetle did the same thing .My cousins 02 coupe also . He told me it was a lever on the bottom of the heater unit that switches between hot and cold. The problem is the lever falls down out of the unit .More cheesy ''engineering''. I fixed mine by cutting a short piece of copper pipe centered over the screw to prop up the lever in postion .That was about a year ago. Been working great ever since . The best i remember i took the glove box and the cover at the very front of the console out .You should be able to see it then.

SOURCE: Jeep AC blows cold air at defrost and feet but not through vents

There is a flap that directs the air. the flap is controlled by a vacuum actuator. This is located inside the venting. The actuator is connected to little vacuum hoses that attach to the temperature control switch. Either the flap is stuck, or the actuator has gone bad.

Ac blows cold in floor but when you blow it through vents it makes a blowing noise and very little air through vents

Sounds like you have a blend door issue and need to have your air box looked at. Might be something as simple as a bad actuator, or it could need the box opened up and have a door replaced.

Why when I start my car is there an odor coming from vents that smells like something is burning, and my Air Conditioner still blows, but it only blows out hot air. 2008 Chrysler Sebring. Help?

have an accredited ac shop as an ac cannot produce hot air only cold air so that means that the ac is not working (leaks low on gas etc). The hot air is from the heater in the car and the smell is probably wire overheating or the resistors are burning.

AC issues

The problem is either an actuator or the door associated with it. Sometimes the gear strips, especially when the system goes thru a recalibrate after power has been removed and reapplied. Below is a diagram of the locations of the actuators.
