There are two types of doors on an auto heater/A/C system--mode doors and blend doors. The mode doors change the direction of the flow of air from the floor to the vents to the defrost. The blend doors change the temperature. The doors in your car are moved by vacuum motors. Either you have a leak in the vacuum line or the vacuum motor is bad. Most often it's a leaking vacuum line or switch. Check those out first.

The heater may not be on - but the fan still blows air through the vents when they're open !
the middle vents only supply air from the ac unit using a separate in dash fan. the floor and defrost vents come only from the heater
You're blower fan isn't working at all, but when you're driving air will still come in through the vents. Obviously, the faster you go the more air will come in. If you're just parked, no air will come in. Check you're fuse, blower motor, relay, switch, and resistor. It could be any of those. Sorry I can't be anymore specific. I'm just basing this on what you described.
Hey Brad==That is where it is suppoaed to come from. Incidentally, what kind of car do you have?? Goodluck, Joe
Yes, gnats can come out of dirty air vents. Gnats can actually come from anywhere. They are very pesky creatures.
They both come from the ocean floor? That and it probably has to do with both allowing some type of plant or animal life to survive on the ocean floor.
There are several different types of heat vents. Vents come in metals such as aluminum, copper, stainless steel, bronze, and brass.
heater fan broken.
Smoke, Mist or Fog will come out of your A/C vents on hot, humid days. The reason for this normal phenomenom is the cold, dry air coming from your A/C vents is lower than the dewpoint of the interior cabin. Basically what this means is that cold, dry air is mixing with hot, humid air and causing the smoke. This is similar to when you open your freezer door and see the fog coming from the freezer. This is a normal condition and will eventually dissipate once the temperatures in the interior cabin and the A/C vents start to balance out. One way to quickly balance the temperature out is to keep the A/C system on recirculated intake air. Hope this answers your question.
something has to be blocking the vents.
The heater blower may not be working properly. Without the heater blower working, the air will not come through the vents.
There are heater doors on the heat blower box that direct the path of the heat. Apparently the heater door to the floor vents is stuck closed.
