What could be the problem if your climate control directional switch for your 2002 Kia Spectra is not working?

I had the same problem. There is a vent under the dashboard on the passenger side. It slides to the right or left, if you slide this in the opposite direction from where it is right now it will allow you to adjust the temperature. It seems the little plastic clamp is not strong enough to handle moving the vent when the temperature control knob is turned instead the arm that adjusts it pops loose. =========================================== The above answer fixes the problem if you can't adjust the temperatureof the air coming out of the vent. If you can't change what vents the air is coming out of (directional control) then either the switch in the dash is bad ($20 from Kia, but not often the problem) or the expensive little motor that controls the flow valve is bad (much more expensive and more often the problem...of course) Most of the dash has to be removed to get the assembly out, requiring the removal of a number of screws and careful prying. If you want to try the repair by yourself, befriend a local Kia mechanic and ask for instructions or go to your local library and see if they have a repair book that covers your car. Worse comes to worse, you can buy the manual online. If you have any intention of keeping this car for a while, the book will be a good investment because you will need it often.

The problem is that the rear heat/ac vent that mixes the two to control the climate is broken, I had it replaced at the dealership since it kept knocking when I tried to operate the rear climate controls.

The problem could be the relay that goes to the compressor this could be faulted out causing the compressor to run constantly. However if this isn't the case then a quick check of the fuse may also resolve the problem.
What would cause the windshield defroster in a 2002 KIA Spectra to only blow air from the panel and floor vents instead of the defrost vents?
Underneath the driver side dashboard, near the center console, is a plastic control knob with a metal wire/bar connector that is attached to the main directional control knob (defrost, vent, floor vent select knob) on the center console. The metal wire/bar will sometimes pop off the plastic control knob, so when you turn the main control you're not actually re-directing the forced air to the selected vents. Re-attached the metal wire/bar to the plastic control knob and should fix the problem.
