Need more information to help solve this problem.
You mean speed of air flow or direction of air flow?
-If direction of air flow no change that mean:
1. Cable from the knob to control door is slip off or if the system is control by vacum. The vacum line is leak or slip off.
-If the peed stay same even move the switch to hight or low:
1. Bad switch.

Hi, i know that the link is about a different car type then yours, but the principles are the same.

Remove battery

Then place your new battery, connect it & test that it's working.
If your radio is working, write down it's security code.

Hope this helps you,
Eitan.

SOURCE: how do I reset the computer on a 2007 Pontiac

Turn the key to the run position, Within 5 seconds press and release the gas pedal three times. The change engine oil light will flash while the system is resetting. Turn off the ignition. If the light or message comes back on and stays on when the vehicle is started, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.

SOURCE: no heat 2006 pontiac torrent awd

your air damper or diverter may not be working.this is basically a mechanism that opens a flap by your heater core to control the amount of hot air that comes out.There is a rod that this flapper pivots on and if this rod is broken or the motor that operates it is not working you will either have heat all the time or no heat at all depending on which position it broke at.I know because my torrent has the same problem.To fix my problem they have to remove the dashboard to access the heater core which amounts to major $$$. I hope your problem is an easier fix. good luck

I would check the cables for corrosion build up,clean the cable ends clean,and shiny,make sure the alternator is charging correctly,checked at the battery,with headlights on,and ac on high blower motor,the voltage should read 13.65 to 14.25 volts,no more,no less,then check the see if there is a draw,pulling the battery down,with the key off,if this was helpful,please rate,thank you.

Usually the place you bought the battery from will replace it for you for free. If not take it to local parts store and they will either explain how or do it for free.

I have a 2009 Kenworth W900. The ac/heater started only coming out the defrost. Now hardly any air comes out of any vents even though fan running. Cause? Solution?

The mechanism that controls the louvres for directing air flow is fubar. PIA because it is behind the dashboard.

Why does my air conditioning on my 2009 Pontiac torrent turn itself off?

Was the air flow ok before it stopped working ?
Following could be additional possibilities :
1. Bad blower motor
2. Choked evaporator coil

2nd one seems a primary issue ... if evaporator coil is choked it will flow less air in the cabin and after coil reaches the set temperature the thermocouple sensor will cut off the AC (that might be what has been happening so far) .Now ,You should be hearing the sound of blower but no air from the vents.

Doors want switch from defrost to other modes

We have replaced a lot the heater control assm's Tom,The three knobs for your controls is the part itself. its only held in by four screws. They charge $25.00 at our salvage yard for them . the worst thing would be a door on the heater box is stuck, that would involve removing the whole dash.

Defrost selector turns but does not change where the air is flowing

Sounds like the switch nob itself is wore out. you may need to replace that assembly, not just the nob but that cluster that has the nobbs on it. good luck

On a 1993 Grand Caravan, the air flow will only come out as defrost. Can not change to mix, or floor

Hi Jim, I'm glad to help!

Jim lets try something first, here's what I need you to do. Take the negative battery cable off for 20 seconds and before hooking it back up make sure your blower is on HIGH and the control head is in the panel mode (Face Mode) and the temperature is in full cold. Hook the battery back up and start the engine. NOTE: DO NOT touch the control head until it has gone through all the calibration modes and came back to rest at the panel mode and the air flow stays in the panel mode. When this happens the calibration is complete. Then see if it switches to all the other modes. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Jim.

Ac stuck in defrost mode on a 2005 pontiac g6

When the HVAC control does not change the air flow, the problem is usually a stuck or faulty blend door behind the glove box.
You may need a service manual to diagnose the problem.

My 04 crown vic will not change off from defrost, indicator lights show floor and vent when pushed but air flow stays on defrost, it does have automatic climate control if that makes any difference

Check for vacum at the heater control ports behind the dash and for vacum leaks. For safty reasons the
system is designed to go to defrost mode in case you lose vacum to the system. Hope this helps.
