problem with blowing through the wrong vents.
on my 85 when i turn the a/c or heater no matter what vent setting i have it on, the panel vents always blow. i don't have much pressure at the defrosters where i need it because it is blowing through the main vents too. is this a door problem. the vacuum diaphram is working up and down.

ok. it looks as though a cable could be connected to the vent selector because there is a mount for one but i can't find one. the diapram that is right behind the radio works when switched.

There is a cable for the temp control, but this picture does not show a cable connected to the other lever.

Here's a picture of the one without A/C. It does use two cables.

i fixed it. i tore the dash apart today and found that the door that closes the defroster and main vents was broken off the hinges. i did some good rigging and used my soldering iron to melt 4 holes. 2 in the ducting and 2 in the door. i then used zip ties as hinges and it works great now.
