Need help with Climate control

I have 96 f 150 and the air, Heater and defrost has been working just finer until a couple months ago. while working the air would quite flowingout the vents but you could her the motor turning either on high or low. Now when you turnt he cliamte control you get very little air out and then it just stops blowing but the blower fan is stillworking. ANY SUGGESTIONS> It is very cold now.

it is hard to access. I took my glove box out. used a dremel and cut out a panel, from in there you can see the A/C door open it and then you see the blend door. If you need I could send pics.

i agree eliminate simpler things first. you can see if you look up under the passenger side dash to see if the arms are moving the doors. mine did, but the door was blocked by a piece of dowel rod that fell down the defrost vent.

It could also be gummed up due to soda's and coffe spilling contantly off the dash either from me or my kid. Also the darn thing worked last night and this morning. HMM I will check th vaccum and then the box behind the golve.
Thanks for the info
