depending on what year and make it is, the most likely issue is that you have a valve that moves to divert air to the upper vents, floor vents, and defrost vents and it is either stuck in the defrost position, is broken, or a cable/connector has come loose. The valve is usually in the center of your dashboard up against the firewall.

The air flow direction in many vehicles is operated by vacuum controlled servos. If the vacuum supply is cut off, the system reverts to it's default position which is the defrost mode. My guess would be that the HVAC vacuum supply line under the hood is disconnected, pinched or collapsed.

Why does AC and heater blow air through defrost vents and will not blow air into cabin vents in your 2009 Mercury?

If the AC and heater in your 2009 Mercury are only blowing air through the defrost vents and not into the cabin vents, it may be due to a malfunctioning blend door actuator or a problem with the HVAC control system. The blend door actuator controls the flow of air to different vents, and if it’s stuck or malfunctioning, it may be directing all air to the defrost vents. Additionally, issues with the climate control module or vacuum leaks in the system could also cause this problem. A thorough inspection of the HVAC system is recommended to identify the exact cause.


Why does air blow through vents on the dash but not through the defrost vents on top when you switch the control?

When you switch the control to direct air through the dash vents, the HVAC system redirects airflow away from the defrost vents. The system uses a series of blend doors to control airflow direction, and if the defrost setting is not activated, those doors remain closed, preventing air from flowing through the defrost vents. Therefore, air is channeled exclusively to the dash vents instead.


Why does AC and heater blow air through defrost vents and will not blow air into cabin vents on 2002 Oldsmobile bravada?

If the AC and heater in a 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada are only blowing air through the defrost vents and not into the cabin vents, it could be due to a malfunctioning mode door actuator. This actuator controls the airflow direction and may be stuck or broken, preventing proper airflow to the cabin. Additionally, a vacuum leak in the HVAC system can also affect the distribution of air. It's advisable to have the HVAC system inspected to determine the exact cause and resolve the issue.


Why does heater defrost vent not open on a 1989 Sunbird and cold air blow from dash vents but no air blows from heater defrost vents and where are the enter and exit hoses for the heater coil?

I don't know why the vent would not open for the defrost, but it may be related to the fact that your heater core is blown. If your getting nothing but cold air out of the vents when the heat is on, your core is finished and if the core is finished then it is likely related to your vent not opening/switching. Something''s wrong with your heating either way.
