I have a 2003 Oldsmobile Aleo and it blows air hot and cold through all vents no matter if it is on AC or Defrost / Heat. I tried swapping out the Panel control switch and it didn’t change. What else can it be? Thanks.

SOURCE: Vent control

You have a vacuum leak.Defrost is the default postion(no vacuum).
See if you can locate the small black vacuum line that goes inside the vehicle on the passenger side near the heater core. The trace it back,should see it going to a canister then to the intake manifold.Make sure it is not disconnected or broken somewhere.

SOURCE: AC blows through defrost and floor vents instead of ac vents

You have a vacuum leak in the system that controls the vent doors. First check for cracks at the vacuum reservoir, then check the various vacuum hoses and vacuum motors for a leak.

SOURCE: climate control is on defrost only the auto

Check your vacuum pump located on the right side fenderwell. see if its running. Check the vacuum hose at the hubs for leaks or damage. repair if damaged. check for other vacuum leaks such as the grey hose going to the heater control valve.

Vents won't blow hot or cold air. Comes from defrost and feet when you put fan on.

It's the vent actuator, it moves the baffle that changes the direction of the air flow.
Here is a video of a broken vacuum hose that creates the same problem.

It could also be a failed actuator.

Why does My thermostat Not switch between ac,heat,defrost . there's cold air coming out of vents but not cold enough to be ac. Initially when this started the ac was blowing hot air

If the air flow cannot be controlled from vent/defrost/floor you may have a blend door issue. This is an electric motor that operates a door in the heating system to control airflow. There are usually 3 motors controlling airflow direction,heat and recirculation. The Ac not blowing cold may also be another problem. If the AC is operational, the compressor will be engaged and the Ac low pressure line under the hood will bw cold. If this is all ok then a blend door issue should be suspected

Driver side vents blow hot air even when ac is on

There are a number of things that could be going on. Do you get cold air out of the passenger side vents? Have you tried sending the air to the defrost vents, or the floor? Do you get cold air out of those when you do?

The two vents on the driver's side won't switch to AC

Sounsds like the HVAC is dual system, and the door motors have failed, try swapping the door motors with the door motors that work on the passenger side.
If they work, the control head may be the issue, try and test the output of the control head, see if there is a signal to the motors, getting a wiring schematic will help in this matter.
