Blend door actuator?
Thinking this might be my issue, but not 100% sure. Thought I'd ask and get opinions
Heat blows out strong on the defrost setting or floor setting if it's on one or the other. If you set it to the defrost/floor setting I lose the high force of air coming out. Almost to the point you think you turned it off. Same on the floor/dash vent setting. Go to dash vent alone and it comes back full force. Did a quick search and did not come across a definite thread with this description.

Sounds like you are on the right track if the vent location is changing, but not to your satisfaction. You might want to try pulling the blend door actuator out and cleaning it before purchasing a new one. They are fairly cheap though and do not take long to swap out.

No worries, I had it saved when I was trying to figure out my A/C issues. Let us know what the results of the repair are.
