It sounds like you might have a vacuum leak since it defaults to the defrost position if there is a vacuum leak or if the vacuum motors are disconnected. Do you mean speed control for the fan or do you mean cruise control?

My friends heater core went out before and if you left the heater on for a little while, you could physically see antifreeze leeking in from way up under the dash, just a few drops every now and then. Don't know if you would get the same thing or not but thought I would put my 3 cents in.

It depends on the size of the leak, some will drip onto the cab floor and others will only cause the winfshield to fog horribly.
It sounds like you may have fried that electrical doo-hickey(can't for the life of me remember what it's called.) in the box under the dash. It's a pretty common occurence in these trucks and leaves and pine needles or other stuff falls in and rests on it. It gets pretty hot and will eventually burn all that stuff up.
