One of two things has happened, one or more of the HVAC actuators has failed or the HVAC recalibration of the actuators when the battery was connected failed. To recalibrate the HVAC actuators do the following;
You can pull the battery off again for a few minutes, or easier: pull HVAC B fuse #36 in the rear fuse block (under the rear seat - driver's side) for 2 minutes. Then put it back in with the ignition off. Then turn the key to the RUN position, but don't start the engine. Don't touch the HVAC controls for 2 minutes, and you should hear the actuators and blower motor going through all the modes and speeds.
If this does not solve the problem, then the HVAC system will need to be troubleshot.

A/C-Heater control issues

The head control in the dash is most likely the problem,the control in the dash,will have to be replaced.,only thing you can try would be to disconnect the negative battery cable for 10 seconds and put it back on,then turn the ignition on,then start,see if the controller starts to work again,if not replace the head.

Had dead battery put new battery in and now the ac works but no air comes out of 4 dash vents. Checked fuse and relay. What next can I do?

When the battery was reconnected, the HVAC went through a recalibration, sometimes this caused the door actuators or the door gears to break or get stuck. Try the following; with the key ON, set all HVAC controls and switches to their OFF or CCW position, key OFF, disconnect battery and reconnect. Set key to ON (don't have to start vehicle) and don't touch any HVAC controls for about 2 minutes. Then try HVAC operation, if vents still don't work, you will need to have a mechanic look at it. Attached is a diagram of the actuator locations.

Changed battery and now the A/C won't blow out dash vents.

You need to have the HVAC reset itself. Turn off all HVAC function and set all switches to CCW position, disconnect battery for about 10 minutes. Reconnect battery and do not touch any HVAC controls for several minutes, the system will go through a calibration sequence.

Changed battery and now the A/C won't blow through dash vents, only the defroster vents and floor vents. Also, driver side is cold and passenger side is hot. Did not have this problem prior to battery...

Set all HVAC control to off or CCW, disconnect battery for about 10 minutes. Reconnect battery and do not touch any HVAC controls for several minutes. The system will calibrate itself at this time. If this does not fix the problem, you have one or more actuators stuck or broken.
