With both valves fully open, Def button pushed, Iget too much heat!
With both valves set about half, temp is toasty...
Def pressed, I get full fan, lots of hot air from windshield Def vents and outer dash eyeball vents, nothing from centers.
If I then select BiLev, Auto Hi or Auto Lo, I still get warm air from outer and windshield vents, no fan(or very low).
If I select any of the above from Off, without first using Def, I get nothing.
I never get any heat from lower or floor vents, and sometimes seem to get cold(very cold, lately) air coming from console/floor area.
A/C seems to work--Blows cold when switched on, windshield and outer vents, no centers, no lowers, etc.

Please, please, please show me the way . Thanks, Glassman
you have a siezed up Vacuum servo...thats why its acting that way...defrost is default upon failure...with out fixing it correctly or converting the entire thing over to the Euro style..which is beaucoup work you are stuck with what you have now.
