Since the second generation transistorized computers there has been no use of vacuum tubes in computers except for one thing, CRT displays. In the last few years even that has been eliminated by modern flat panel LCD & LED displays, which are much lighter and less power hungry than CRT displays were.

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.
