Default No foot space heater flow

So I am getting no airflow down around my feet. The dash panel vents work fine. I would guess that the little doohickey control is gefunkedup. lol
There seems to be no DTC actuated on the instrument panel display.
Is there a FAQ on this problem for me to look-up?

All the damper door functions are controlled by VACUUM. Your most likely missing the vacuum signal. That often means that your wiring under the battery has been exposed to battery acid. The vacuum line is made of NYLON and does NOT like battery acid,, It runs inside the wiring harness under the battery.

My '98 C5 blows cold a/c thru the driver side and central vents. The passenger vents blow hot air. The passenger dial is set at 12:00 per instructions. Any ideas? Thanks.

Do a search... This was just discussed recently and the bottom line is that you need to have your A/C system recharged with freon...

It sounds funny but if you read the chats it'll make sense...
Good luck
