The vents blow warm air on the main panel and floor, but not the defrost to heat the windshield, nothing blows out of the vents.

Faulty switch or door motor, maybe a broken vacuum line, depending on car.

SOURCE: defrost is not working. Volvo 1989 sw240

You have a problem with the vacuum operation of the dampers that control the direction of the airflow. You will need to pull the front panel of the console and look at the vacuum hoses that attach to the back of the control buttons. If those are attached, look under the dash to see if they are attached to the small bellows that control the dampers. You should pull the glove box out so you can see the damper under the dash to get a look at it and get an idea for how the other one looks. There is a second damper to the left of the one behind the glove box. Behind the bellows there is a small nipple that any loose hoses should be attached to. Take a flashlight along when you start exploring. If those are okay, check the other side.

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?

I have a 2007 dodge 2500 diesel and the heater will only heat up to a very light heat.

Mode Door 1.
a.This door regulates air flow to either the dash vents or defrost/floor. If you have air flowing only through the vents with no defrost or floor, this door is failing. From our experience, this door is usually the first domino to fail. Not sure why, just is.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->4.Mode Door 2.
a.When mode door 1 is set to divert air away from the vents and into the second stage of the system, door #2 chooses whether air goes to the defrost vents to the windshield or out through the floor vents in the passenger and driver's side footwells. Failure is indicated by an inability to choose between defrost and floor.
b.This door turns out to be the most difficult to replace. In order to replace the door, the dash panel has to be removed. It's still better than the dealer fix because you don't have to evacuate the AC system, drain the radiator, and remove the plenum box. But it is more work than the other fixes. When this door breaks, it falls in the down position, blocking the floor vents and diverting all air through the defrost vents. From a safety standpoint, this is good since you'd most likely rather have a clear windshield than warm feet. We suspect that a large percentage of customers will just leave this door unrepaired. You will have heat through the dash vents and to the windshield, just nothing to the floor. It's inconvenient, but you'll have to make the determination if warm feet are worth the extra work to fix the door. An extra pair of socks is easier.

I have a 1999 Caddac DeVille . The AC works fine during the summer but in the winter it won't blow out hot air unless I'm driving. I've let the car run in the morning to warm up but the inside...

your heater core is possibly stopped up if there has been a radiator leak and stop leak has been poured its definetly clogged or could be a faulty thermostat
