More Ranger help

I just bought a used 1998 Ranger XLT and it has an airconditioning duct problem. When I turn on any part of the heating/air coinditioning system it always blows out of the defroster duct up top. I have replaced the control panel with a known good panel and it doesn't work. The truck was in an accident before I bought it and I think there was some windshield damage because when I removed the glove box I found pieces of glass. Can anyone give me some info on how to easily access the controling valve or give me any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Many thanks!

the main vacuum supply going through the firewall is probably broke. Just follow the vacuum hoses up in that area and you'll find the break.
