Selector only stays on defrosted 92 buick?

If the heat selector will not switch from defrost to the dash or foot vents on a 1992 Buick, it is possible that the cable connected to the vent is broken. When the selector is moved from defrost, a cable opens the other selected vents on the heater.

Why is there no air coming out of vents can hear air blowing under dash board?

The year, make and model would help but many vehicles use vacuum to operate the direction of air flow through the floor vents, dash vents and defrost vents. If the vacuum supply is cut off for whatever reason the system defaults to defrost only. So if you only have the defrost mode working chances are the vacuum supply is cut off. Check the HVAC vacuum supply line under the hood for damage. If that system seems to be working but you have insufficient air flow through all of the vents, check/replace the cabin filter if applicable.

Ac stuck on defrost 1999 Isuzu Rodeo. Cant get it off of the defrost setting. Need air to come through the center vents?

Your rodeo has 3 actuators. One is for your evaporator(cool air) another for your heater and the other one controls your defrost , face and lower vents. These electrical actuators are about the size of a donut and have a hole in the middle with a bushing which engages with your vents, located under your dash board on the passenger side.It may take alot of unscrewing and alot of patience, but its the only way to solve your problem.
