Climate control, 06 F250

I have an 06 F250 xlt, and today my climate control switch malfunctioned. No matter what setting I have it on, it will only blow air out the defrost air vents on top of the dash. I was hoping someone on here would have some input of where to start looking to solve this problem. The cold/hot air **** works, It seems like if I turn the climate control switch to air condition, the air conditioner comes on, but the air still blows out the top. Any input is greatly appricieated.

Thanks crazyrwe, I could not find any threads that were exactly related to my problem. I did talk to a friend who is a ford mechanic, and he said it is in default mode and most likely I have a vaccume leak some where. I could not find anything obvious, so he said the electric motor on the vaccume pump could have gone out. He will take a look at it for me.

There is a TSB about this somewhere. It has to do with checking the vacuum lines behind the glove box. ITs easy to pull down, and take a peek back there to make sure they are all there and undamaged.

Thanks for the replies, I fixed the problem today. 145$ new vaccume pump from the dealer. I checked the old one by hooking up 12V to it, nothing. I put a volt meter on the incoming connector and got 12V plus, so I knew it was getting power. New pump solved the problem.

Yes, warranty is up, 55k miles already on my 06. I bought it used with 48k on it. It was a fleet vehicle in the state of OH. Im guessing it was on a road stripe painting crew judging from the little bit of yellow road paint spilled in the bed liner.
