My ac, heat and defroster not working. I hear air. Nothing out of vent at chest level. Vent on top of dash blows a little cold air. Controls not working like they should. Is it my resistor. I just changed the radio. What's wrong

Sounds like you may have pulled a vacumn line loose inside the dash when you where working on the radio. Most cars these days use engine vacumn diaphams to move the air duct flap in the HVAC system to direct the air flow to the different vent outlets. If a line is pulled loose the air flow flapper will not operate. Check for loose vacuum line around the vent control selector and around the blower motor air box usually found under/in front of the glove compartment.

SOURCE: Air conditioning fan makes loud noise the faster you ru it.

Concerning your broken vent -- this can be caused by a broken linkage or a malfunctioning servo motor as well. these vent have air ducts the sway back and forth to adjust the dual air flow function. if the servo o linkages are malfunctioning or not connected for some reason, it will not allow total control of the air flow and temperature range. Now, if you have a combination of a flow error and temperature error as well, thai can be caused by a combination of the two.

In this case, you will need to inspect the linkages as well as the servo motor function as well. in addition, i would test the air temp sensors for there operational value. they control the temp when you adjust the coll or hot function.

Concerning the Loud noise coming from the blower fan---

This issue can be caused by a misalignment within the blower housing or, it can also be caused by some minor damage within the motor itself, causing it to rotate in a erratic manner, in return, forcing it to rub against the housing itself. the best solution here is to extract this blower fan housing and inspect for lose fan propeller and motor stability. replace parts accordingly.

PLease rate and have a great day:)

SOURCE: air conditioning not blowing thru the vents

There is a black vacuum hose in back of the glove box toward the top connected to a gray hose about 1/8 thick.You need to check to see if there is vacumm there.If yes then you need to take the bolts off to be able to tip the dash back enough to see all the vacuum hoses.Make sure they are all connected.It was alot of bolts but its is the best way.I had a hose off going to one of the acuator doors.Glued it back on and works great

SOURCE: 1999 temperature control will not regulate heat/air

This is likely caused by a failed or jammed electric air temerature control blend door actuator and or a warped and jammed blend door.

2002 ford explorer AC and heat blowing in dash, but very weak from the vents

On the motorcraft parts web site, you can blow up
a picture of the HVAC Blend Door Motors & locations,
as well as part numbers

You can get failed motor from Amazon

With knowing where the motors are located, try switching
the air flow modes manually, to see what positions do not work

Then you know what motors to replace

I also have professional scan tool software & can see the codes
for the motors in enhanced data.

The-- Vent Blend Doors-by name

Defrost-up top
Cabin -the vents as you say in the middle & on the sides
Floor
Recirculate-under the glove box
Blend Door -under the dash on your print

Heater Core replacement

first, check the coolant level and add if its low..check for accidental ac turn-on at the controlls..then its an issue with the controls themselves provided the water pump is good..there are baffle doors that are controlled reemotely in the dash and one of these couldd be not functioning or blocked by debris like a penny sliding into the defrost vent will jam the door and keep it from working...check these and see...good luck..
