Default Vent will not come of from defrost ?

I have a 98 coupe , the problem is the fan blows great and all but no matter where i put the direction it comes out the defrost mainlly . It does come out the other locations i put it to but still blows the most out the defrost vent . Any ideas on the fix. I did do the fix for the digital display and it worked fantastic as well ,i never noticed it before a couple days ago . Cudoes to the people for the oil pressure switch change as well as it worked great cutting the hole .

There are doorways that direct the air where to go, There have been a few that have been stuck or broken. The only real way to tell is to pull them out which consists of taking thr dash apart and removing the air ducts.

Vacum hose on the rear of the intake manifold right by the oil pressure sensor.

Default vacuum line UNDER the BATTERY eaten by acid

Check this FIRST. Purple connector inside under passenger dash. If no vacuum rotted lines. Another post now on here concerning this. Many posts in the past including mine. BIGHANK

Default vacuum line

Don't just change an inch or 2 like I did. A week later another piece broke off and I did the whole job AGAIN, THIS TIME with MOST of the plastic line replaced. Left enough on both the firewall and source lines to connect a rubber hose to. Same thing at the check valve under the passanger side fender. HAVE FUN BIGHANK
