does the air come out the defrost or the floor, or are you saying the duct is plugged and no air anywhere ? If it comes out the defrost, you probably have a vacuum leak in one of the lines under the hood at the dash area. duct doors are controlled by vacuum cylinders and default is the defrost.

everything is working ok. just have very little air flow at any blower speed.
blend air door is working .selector is switching from defrost to vent and floor.just not getting enough air flow,when going to max air there is no change in air flow.

sounds like mouse nest or leaves stuck inside the duct.
