I had this same problem. There is a vacuum motor in the engine compartment on the firewall, passenger side near the top (close to the hood hinge). Check the white vacuum line that connects with a black rubber elbow to the vacuum motor. The white vacuum line is routed into a bundle of vacuum hoses that route through the firewall into the vent control switches. In my case, this vacuum line had a leak near the point where it enters the bundle. It seemed that the plastic that was exposed to the engine compartment had disintegrated with time and temperature and was very brittle. I was able to fix it with some small diameter silicon hose. If you peel back the plastic jacket that protects the bundle you should be able to find a point where the white plastic vacuum line is still in good condition.

Good luck.

Why does my air only blows out my front vents and not the floor or defrost on your 03 dodge ram?

There may be several reasons why the air only blows out the front vents and not on the floor or the defrost on the 2003 Dodge Ram. The fuses may be blown, or the heating coil is not working correctly.


In your 1997 mustang the air is blowing through the defrost Why isn't it blowing through vents?

this one is easy your switch the controls the vents is not working there is a flap the closes the defrost vents so that it goes through the other vents or there is a vacumn line that is controlled by the switch, and its leaking. The vacumn line is usually on the engine side of the firewall. It is a very small plastic tube comming out of the middle of the firewall at the top and it connects to a junction with other vacumn lines. See if any of them are disconnected.


Why does a 1995 ford bronco air conditioner stops blowing when gas is applied?

If the vents stop blowing when gas is applied, it is likely a vacuum problem. The vent system is controlled by vacuum, so when the engine is under load, there isn't enough vacuum to run the vents. How you test this is when the problem occurs, the fan will still be blowing air, however the flow of air will be out your window defrost vents at the top front of the dash. On a 1995 vehicle, it's likely just some of your vacuum lines are broken, and need replaced or repaired.
