Loren That is a whole different animal. I can only assume that this system is controlled by some type of selinoid that switches the direction of the vacuum. If you can remove the inspection pammels under the dash and get at the vacuum hoses I would look to see if you have a vacuum leak some where

Left knob is fan speed, middle temp and right is selection of defrost, etc. When I switch the right knob, you can hear the air switching from front or floor vents to windshield vents, but the flapper is not moving. In the past, I have heard a delay in the flapper moving and have said I have to check on that. As you know I waited too long and the flapper cannot be heard now at all.

Remove the 2 screws and you can pull out the bottom and remove the pamel. Be carefull because behind it you will find 2 or 3 electrical connecters, 2 linkages and a searies of vacuum hoses. See if there is any thing binding or if there is any broken plastic or if any of the vacuum hoses are not connected. That is likely where the problem is. If every thing checks out OK there then you will want to check out the flappers them selves. You might have to get under the dash and remove the plastic covers take note of where every thing goes because they tend to put a lot of screws in those covers. I would start with the middle cover and see what you can find. I can't help you much beyond that since I don't have that model and am not sure exactly how it is set up .

The flapper is not opening up when I turn the controller to defrost. The air flow is changing direction but will not come out. I can tell the flapper is sticking, and wondering where to look to locate it. Can I get to it from the duct coming from the fan under dash area? The less I have to remove, the better I will feel.
