Generally, that means you've lost the vacuum from the engine, and the "default" position is blowing through the floor and defrost. Check your vacuum connections for a broken or disconnected line. If that's not it, you probably have broken connection on the controller,or possibly a bad controller. It's to dark to go look at mine, and I can't remember the vac locations.

I had the same problem on my '96.
For me, it was the controller under the dash.
$600 later and two days at the Stealership and it was fixed.
Looking back, I should have tackled that problem myself.

Changing the controller ranks right up there with heater cores The controller isn't the thing on the dash (it's on the firewall)

Pull the passenger side engine injector cover. There should be a three way vacuum connector that plugs into the plenum. That is the vacuum supply for the air conditioner. I just checked mine and one of the "****" was bad! Looks like off to the parts store for me! (actually hadn't had any problems....yet!)

Click on "Search this Forum", type in "AC vents", you should get about 3 pages of threads. Not all will address your problem but many will. Best of luck.
