The ERG shouldn't have anything to do with what vents the AC comes out of, rather the dash switch that exists for changing from defrost to main vents to floor vents controls what vents are used.

2004 Lincoln navigator blows ac through dash vents until acceleration then switches to defrost, must turn ac off and back on to reset to dash vents

The "mode" actuators on this vehicle are vacuum motors. So you've got a bad actuator or a vacuum leak in one of the lines.

Why does my ac switch from vent to defrost while driving?

This is due to a vacuum issue. The vacuum created by the motor is used to operate the actuators that control the direction of the air flow. When you accelerate you are creating more vacuum which in turn creates more in the actuators causing them to pull harder so therefore the desired setting is changed. Check your Pcv valve and make sure your hoses aren't dry rotted or leaking elsewhere, which may impact overall vehicle performance. Hope this help explain what's going on

AC blowing through defrost vents only. What could be causing this?

either no vacuum is getting to the vent door switch or the vent door switch is bad, but I suspect the vac hose is diconnected, or cracked. under the hood the line goes into the dash to work the doors, make sure its got vacuum to it when engine is running., or there is a vac leak

Heating / air conditioning control stuck to front defrost vents

There is a vacuum leak under the hood. Find the vacuum line on the passenger side where it comes through the firewall and follow it to the engine. You system needs vacuum to operate and without it the default setting is on defrost for safety reasons.

Climate control stuck in defrost/floor vents

The problem is probably a faulty diverter door actuator or vacuum problem at the HVAC plenum under the dash. This is a common problem - see YouTube for help diagnosing this:
