Dash vents stuck open
I have an '04 FX4 crew with a vent problem. The air seems to always come out of the dash vents. Some air does come through the other vents when selected, but the dash vents seem to be wide open constantly. The fan speeds and the temp control are both ok.
Vacuum? Actuator? I'm clueless.

It has manual controls. If I turn it to the off position the air does stop, but the dash vents open no matter which vent setting is selected. The other vents do open when selected, but it the majority of the air still comes out of the dash.
Hot/cold and fan speeds work fine.

I know if there is no vacuum at all the defrost is the default setting. But, is there another vacuum line or actuator that would cause a constant air flow to the dash vents?
Thanks

Did the truck just start doing this? I'd suspect something having fallen down thru the defrost ducts. My own truck heater box was full of pencils and pens when I got it. When I got the box out, it was also full of leaves, dirt, and general eyucch. Works like new after a good cleaning.
