Environmental controls
The other night the function **** for the heater/cooler stopped working, air only comes out of the defrost vents ('99 Mazda B2500), the **** still turns. I took out the center panel and looked behind it. It's all electronic, so I first looked for a fuse that might have blown, but I didn't find a fuse for that specific ****. I then searched the wires to see if one had a short, but I can only inspect what is not difficult to reach. Any advice? I am hoping that I don't have to take in to the rude and over-charging chuckleheads at the dealership.
Haynes manual didn't have any advice to offer.

I'm thinking vacuum leak here. As I recall, the HVAC system "defaults" to the defroster vents when there is a vacuum leak. Other possiblilty is the notorious blend door problem. Hang on, I'm sure that other people will jump in to help.

The Haynes manual mentions draining the cooling sysyem when removing the heater core. Could a leak in the cooling system cause the HVAC system to default?
