How can i locate the blend door switch and replace it so i get heat on floor and not just defrost

You don't say the make and model and year of manufacture of your car. Come cars have vacuum controls for the blend door. Others have electric motors.

1998 blazer heat works great but defrost doesnt, could there be a blocked hose and how do i check?the defrost at the front wont blow.

if you have heat and nothing blows on defrost then this is a mode door problem that is not changing from floor to vent to defrost mode.it could be the mode switch or the mode door not working.the mode door is on the air duct under the dash and you can manually move it when you disconnect the control with your hand it should move freely.some of these have a small motor that moves the door.and if you move the switch in different modes or better have someone move the switch while you see were the door is the one that is moving is the mode door.if it won`t move on defrost tap the motor and see if it starts to work.if it does then it will have to be replaced if not it could be a switch problem.

I have a 97 buick century limited and the air flow settings switch wont change how do I fix this? Example if I set it on vent and switch it to defrost it stays the same.

The "air / heat " door is either run by vacuum or motor.
The "defalt setting" is always on either defrost or heat.
I would say you may have lost vacuum to the control, or the control may be bad or a vaccum line is off.

97 Lumina...Switch stuck on defrost vent and

I had same problem . There is a vacuum resovoir tank located behind the left front splash shield . The vacuum line behind the battery goes to it . I removed two 5/32 screws just in front of the tire that hold the splash shield to the fender , carefully flex the shield away from the fender and take a look . I found the vacuum line had come loose , plugged it back on and everything works . Hope this helps

Vent controls wont switch from defrost to any other selection replaced switch already I have a 2003 ford windstar, heat and cold air will only blow from the window defrost vents, any other selections...

You have a vacuum leak.Defrost is the default postion(no vacuum).
See if you can locate the small black vacuum line that goes inside the vehicle on the passenger side near the heater core. The trace it back,should see it going to a canister then to the intake manifold.Make sure it is not disconnected or broken somewhere.
