Default HVAC question

I tried search, but most of the issues deal with driver or passenger side vents blowing hot air. My issue is this, my air conditioner vent control only works in one mode, everything. In other words, air comes out everywhere, vents, floor, and defroster, regardless of where I have the settings at. I tried pulling the fuses, but no luck. Any ideas.

Sounds like a vacuum leak. If you have a acid based battery (non-AGM), you probably should check to make sure it's not leaking acid. The HVAC vacuum tube runs directly under the battery (among other things, like your PCM!). I'd be willing to bet this is your problem.

Thanks JR Vette, I did have an acid based battery with some leakage before I replaced it with a Red Top. I'll check the vacuum lines.
