Check for a vacuum leak under the hood, as most HVAC controls are vacuum operated. Listen for a hissing noise. If you have some mechanical expertise, you can spray carburetor cleaner around under the hood and listen for a change in idle speed, this will give you an approximate location to search for a vacuum leak. Once this is fixed, your HVAC should work normally.

Your 1994 dodge ram 1500 is stuck in defrost mode and will not change to any other setting?

The rotary switch uses the engine vacuum system to operate the diverter "flap". If it is stuck in defrost mode then you have a vacuum problem... It can either be from the source (not generating vacuum), or in the transmission of the vacuum (the small plastic tubes). These tubes are prone to dry-rot/cracking causing them to loose their capacity to transmit the negative pressure.


1991 Chevy 350 pick up 1500 heater display works and will get hot butt it wont go to the defrost and is weak on the floor and vents?

the flap on the vent and defroster is stuck somewhere in between so it is not letting proper airflow to where you designate it possibly something sticky has fell down through the defrost vent and is constricting max. airflow
