Sounds like the switch that closes and opens the door for the changing of air flow is bad.

Testimonial: "Thanks, this is the way I will head for repair."

SOURCE: All Air Conditioning blows our the defrost vents

Some thing you could look at would be this. The control is usually fed by a vacuum line or small hose thats is connected to your intake manifold.
With a cold engine,look for a skinny vacuum hose that runs from the intake toward the fire wall . It should be going inside the cab and connecting to the A/C vent control.Some times the hose becomes disconnected or splits or cracks due to heat under the hood.
Thats usually the trouble.
I hope this helps you.

SOURCE: Heat wont blow through heater or defroster vents

The door in the heater box is most likely stuck. It is located under the dash on the passenger side

SOURCE: PROBLEM WHEN SELECTING THE DIRECTION FOR THE AIR

Sounds like you have a supply vacuum problem. When you lose supply vacuum to the control head it defaults to defrost.

Defrost blows constantly? How do i fix it?

does it blow through the defrost vent only when you switch to vent/floor or does it blow through defrost and vent/floor? is it a switch that is just electric or a manual lever that you slide? the manual type will have that problem if the diverter or the linkage behind the lever(in the dash behind the panel......may be able to access underneath) becomes broken or disconnected so that the air is diverted to defrost regardless where you move it.if you can get to it, you will see what is broken or maybe a fastenerr fell off.

Dash vents will not blow air. Defroster and floor vents blow fine.

Is it a new vehicle? I had a new vehicle that had the same problem. Answer was that the holes weren't punched out of the vent.

A/c and heater only blows thru defrost and side vents

your a/c and heater blow thru the defrost ( top of dash? ) and the vents. Or defrost/or the vents.? and not on the floor? Well all of these should work. can you hear the motor inside the dash turning to they're perspective spots on the dial the motor pulls a cable and closes or opens appropriate doors as the selector switch is moved. if not the switch may be faulty. and you can get it from a parts store or dealership. CK the parts store's first they will be cheaper and will be able to give you a look at what needs to be done to replace it. But it can be done on most "fine " cars in 20- 30 min with minimal hand tools.
