Sounds like the mode door actuator. not moving to defrost. maybe if you try to see if their is a reset procedure for the control head you might can get it working. usually you unplug it and go through all of the settings.

SOURCE: My stopped blowing through the front dash vents.

This is a common problem on cars 10 or more years old. The first thing i would look for is to see if i could hear the blend door opening and closing. Do this by turning on the air and moving the vent controls back and forth with your ear close to the front vent. If you do not hear anything moving, more than likely you will have a blend door issue or an actuator issue. But there is noway to be absolutely certain without taking the dash apart to get at the blend door.

1970 vw beetle windshield defroster no hot air

Does the heater blower motor work? If it does and the heater works, then the passage from the heater to the windshield must be not open. Real old-school, it is probably cable operated for defrost.
If the blower motor is not blowing air, it is an electrical problem with the motor. Would help to have a voltmeter. Do you?

Why does my 1993 buick roadmaster heat fine but most times the blower won't blow on my windshield to defrost?

Are you referring to the blower NOT blowing air or it is blowing air but will not direct the flow to defrost?

No heat coming out of windshield defrost vent .no blowin air

If it don't blow air, then either the blower motor relay is faulty, or the blower motor itself needs replaced.

My 2005 ford focus ... the defroster button is on defrost and no air comes out of the defroster to the front windshield but blows out at your face and feet??? trying to get this fixed before snow flies...

well if it blows out at your feet you know the blower is running (as it's a common problem for blower motor shaft to rust up from AC condensate drain plugged up) but in your case it sounds like the air diverter damper arm actuator is broken or just stuck (yes it can rust too) you'll need to remove toe space cover to gain access to it on passenger side floor move heater contol back and forth to watch it move Or (NOT) you may have to free this up or replace it

I have an '01 f150 5.4L engine truck and when I give gas to get more power or speed the panel A/C blower stops and blows out defrost panels until I've reached speed etc.What could be wrong?

My guess is you have a vac leak. The system uses vacuum to move the blend door and direct air flow. If there is a lack of vac the default position is defrost to make sure the windshield stays clear.
The vac leak could be under the dash or in the engine compartment.

My blower works sometime and then stops and starts and stops

This is the way blower motors act when they go out sometimes,it will have to be replaced to solve this problem,when the blower quits again,bump the blower motor with the palm of your hand,if it starts back blowing,then this is the problem.

91 ciera only does defrost, no vents or AC

i believe this is a vacuum operated system. if there is a problem with the vacuum supply to the control unit, it will automatically default to defrost. i would start by checking the vacuum source lines. good luck!

Heater/air stop blowing after car is run for maybe 30-45 min.

I had this same problem. Your blower is going out. Just replace the blower. Its a siple fix, and its pretty cheap.
