The A/C and heat is regulated by a vacuum activated door under the dash called the actuator door. There may be a vacuum leak causing the door not to work. Check under the hood on the driver's side. There is a vacuum manifold that provides vacuum for several different functions inside and underneath the hood. One will be marked A/C and have an arrow leading to the proper hose. Check all the hoses for leaks because if one leaks it will affect all the vacuum for all the other functions. Vacuum leak may be the problem.

Defrost is a default position for when there is a loss of vacuum. The vacuum controls the blend air doors. Start at the intake manifold and follow the vacuum hoses. There should be one that goes to a resivour (I think its behind a fender). It should T off and go inside the car. If the resivour is cracked or any of the lines are leaking that will cause the blower to only go through defrost.

I have also seen where ford uses plastic tubes and the dry battery acid had fallen on the tubes and ate holes in them. If any of the plastic tubes are broken, then each broken end can be inserted into a small enough rubber vacuum hose to repair them.

Check your fuse for the blower motor and the wires going up to it. Also check connector to blower motor to make sure its not burnt. If all are ok replace blower motor

What would make heat and air blower motor only run slow on every speed switch no matter low or high 1991 ford mustang

If not the switch, you need to check vacuum lines near the firewall inside the engine compartment and under the dash. Just in case. I had problems with mine blowing only through the defrost because of a broke vacuum line. Good luck

How to replace the defrost motor in my 2008 mercury mariner . only the high works speeds 1, 2 & 3 do not blow at all only on 4 which is high.

Thanks for using FixYa.com!
DON'T REPLACE THE MOTOR!!
The Motor is fine, the Blower Motor RESISTOR, not the Motor itself, is defective and must be replaced.
When the Blower Motor Resistor fails the Blower Motor will only work on High.

1996 ford mustang convertible ac blows cold only from defroster

Does it still blow out the floor and defrost when you set the switch to those positions or does it alway blow out the defrost no matter what? If you can get air to blow out to the floor, then it sounds like you lost the switch that controls the airflow to the vents. If it only blows out the defrost, then you probably lost the vacuum to all of the switches. When the vacuum is lost, it will only blow out the defrost. Check the smallest line on the vacuum distribution block located in the corner near the brake master cyclinder. That line provides the vacuum to control the direction of airflow within the cabin.
