A/C Blower problem

My A/C blower on my 96 full size Bronco starts blowing our the normal AC vents and then shifts to the defrost vents and then shifts to the floor vents. Does all of this randomly. What do you think is causing this?

Vacuum problem somewhere. Are you sure its random, and has nothing to do with how much throttle you're using?

It may be related. I noticed that the times that I had the biggest problems was when I was pulling a trailer with a medium size load on the trailer, which means I was having to provide more throttle to keep the speed up. What do you think is causing it, if it is related to the throttle?

Probably a vacuum leak or bad check valve in the vacuum system. The more throttle you apply, the lower the vacuum goes. If there is a bad check valve, or leak it could produce the symptoms you describe.

Thanks, I'll give it a look see. I hadn't thought about the throttle issue until you asked it and it has occurred when the truck has been pulling a trailer.
Where is check valve located?

I honestly don't know where it would be on that truck. Perhaps someone else around here will chime in....
