What causes the AC on a 1999 Dodge 1500 Conversion Van to work great until you drive it for a while and then it stops blowing from the dash vents and blows from the defroster vents?

However, this problem occured with my van at all times and it turned out to be a vacuum leak. I had a broken line that went to the vacuum motor controlling the blend door for the ventillation system.
There are some vacuum lines that come through the firewall, from inside, and go to vacuum ports on the intake manifold. Follow these lines back to the motor and inspect for breaks or holes. If you are unable to find one, make sure the engine is warm, running, and AC blowing out the defrosters, and spray something flammable like penetrating oil (I've always used CRC brand but any will work) on the lines, connectors, and even where the intake manifold is bolted to the cylinder heads. When you find the vacuum leak, engine idle speed will increase. If that is not successful, you may want to check the vacuum lines under the dashboard. Your problem is definitely vacuum related and is probably near the motor because it seems to happen after the engine warms up.
Hope this helps!Mark

Why doesn't my dodge w250 defroster work?
One reasons a Dodge W 250 defroster may not work is the blower motor relay. This can be replaced easily. If it isn't the relay, there may be a problem in defroster door binding. A mechanic will be able to determine the cause.

Why might the defroster-heater not be working on a 1997 Dodge Ram pickup?
If the air is blowing but not hot, you may be drawing in too much cold air while driving down the road. If that is the case, try blocking off a portion of your radiator with a cardboard box. Do not block all of it off as your vehicle may overheat. You might need to have the heater core flushed if its not blowing out hot air. If it its not blowing out anything try replacing the blower motor.
