AC question

Another AC problem. Last spring I fixed my blend door but it failed again last fall so I have been back to using only max AC for cooling (which has worked fine).

Yesterday suddenly while running max AC the air started coming out of the defrost vent instead of the usual vents on the dash, and it is now HOT air, not cold. SO I have no AC now . This happened very suddenly.

Could this be some vacuum situation? At the moment it failed I had just engaged 4wd, but I suppose it was just a coincidence.

98 Ranger 4L.

Thanks.

Well, I would still suggest looking for the reason you lost vacuum to the controls. Defrost is the default when there is no vacuum.
