Air Control ****

Not sure what I'll be getting into there, seems like it works when you want it to come straight out the upper vents, and then all of the other selections only push the air out the defrost window vents, so there isn't any floor, or floor/upper combo, they just come out by the windshield, any ideas as to what's going on before I tear the whole dash apart, seems kinda strange that it works on those selections but in a different area of the Expedition figured they just wouldn't work at all.

Sounds like a vac leak. A typical place for that is the lines under the battery tray.

I agree with the problem being at the vacuum line by the battery as well. Check out the posts and pictures on this page: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...t-vents-2.html

The entire HVAC system runs by vacuum. No (or low) vacuum means the actuators don't move like they should.
