Check for vacuum leak--either under dash or in engine compartment Check for bad vacuum motors under dash Defrost is the default position for this system There is a vacuum resovoir located behind your battery , it is for this condition.

When you accel your engine doesn't produce vacuum due to the throttle plate being open so a resovoir is there to hold a vacuum reserve so that when there is low vacuum produced by the engine there will be reserve to hold the vacuum motor applied preventing the air from changing direction in your dash.

When there is no vacuum the direction is at the defrost vents if you have a broken hose or no vacuum your ac would blow out the defrost all the time

But since it happens when you accel it sounds like your vacuum resovoir is cracked thus not allowing it to hold a vacuum

Check under the hood for a disconnected or damaged vacuum line. The controls are vacuum operated and if the vacuum supply is cut off the system defaults to defroster only.


I have a 2002 Ford Explorer that is get low air flow from the defrost vent when the defrost unit is selected. Most of the air flow is going to the floor vents. Is the blend valve bad?

Hi, It is not the blend door, that is for heat/cold changes. The mode door could be the problem, or stuck defrost door.


Why do you not have air flow from the dash vents on a 2002 Mercury Sable when the defrost and floor vents work fine?

Your most likely issue is a bad hvac control switch. On older cars, this was operated by vacumm pressure, but on a 2002, it is all electrical. It may be that you need to replace the whole control unit.


What should you look for when your 2002 Astro blows ac only at the bottom and top vents and not very strong?

Check for a broken vacuum line. The vacuum line controlling the doors on the heater/AC blower is a small hard plastic line. When it breaks it has little affect on the engine performance but the vents default to defrost for safety reasons. The few I replaced start at the front portion of TBI base. Your parts person can show you where it is and it isn't expensive.
