92 buick park ave only blows heat through defrost

Im working on a 92 Buick park ave with dual climate control. It only blows out of the defrost vents when in heat mode but when switched to ac it blows out of the dash vents. Already tried an ac programmer, head unit, and body module. Also checked vaccum lines. If I jump the pink vaccum line to the violet line it will blow through the dash vents but it is warmer on the passenger side. Now that I have tried the body module and swapped it back to the original bm it wont even crank over. Any ideas???

Sounds like you might have blown the BM unit. As far as the vent selection goes, I worked on a Buick LeSabre a few years ago with the same kind of trouble. There is a vacuum distribution block down under the glove compartment that directs the route air goes. It is notoriously trouble. In my case the block was poorly formed. Sometimes the vacuum connections on the block are plugged, sometimes they crack or break off. Unless you are a full blown Mr Fixit you just need to replace the block.

Testimonial: "I did try to replace that block with the new ac programmer and still have the same issues. Any other ideas?"

    Have you checked to see if anything is caught in the box where the door redirects the air? Sometimes items will fall down in from the defroster vents and block the door from swinging properly. Or something could have gotten sucked into the box.

    No but what gets me is that in ac mode it will blow through the dash vent or if I jum vacuum to the violet line in heat mode it will blow heat through the dash vent as well. For what ever reason it will not supply vacuum to the violet line in heat mode.

    That's why I am saying there may be something in the box blocking the diverting door from swinging to redirect the air.

sounds like the drivers temp door actuator is not working should be located on the drivers side of the air box down by the gas pedal or center dash area.

HVAC control head problem or it is the air Temp Control Valve problem. THe control head is the one with the buttons and knobs and the control vavle is located on the HVAC carrier assembly underneath dashboard (two of them one on left and one on right in center). This is a job for someone who has knowledge of HVAC and electrical on a GM vehicle.

It can be low on freon,or,the actuator motor foor that side blend door is bad,if so,the dash has to be removed to replace the actuator motor.

My 98 Buick Park Avenue has driver and passenger AC settings but the passenger side always blows hot air. Very cold on drivers side. Why??Can't stand the heat even when vent is closed.

Try unplugging the battery for 5 min's to re-sync the dual climate controls. If that fails it is likely that the air temperature control blend door is sticking to in the heated air position, this is either due to the door being warped and sticking inside the duct work or the electric actuator for the door being defective, both are usually replaced.

Check the actuator motors on the inside on the heater box to see if they are working. They are small motors with rods mounted on the outside of the heater under the dash. This motor moves the arms that direct the heat to where you want it.

92 buick park ave security light on car wont start

Someone put the wrong key (resistor value) in the ignition lock, you will have to disconect the battery for 3 min. Make sure you have the right key. Very important! Make sure the climate control is off before disconecting/conecting the battery.
