AC controls not switching

[infinitedrift]

Need help guys, my a/c controls all of suuden stopped working. Well they work but now it only blows air on the windsheild, I cant get it to blow air on my face or any other position but the windshield. All the buttons light up when pressed but no action. Any help is appreciated!

I don't think I've had the dash apart on my 240 but usually vent controls are vacuum powered. It's common for a hose to come off or get a hole in it.

Your vent selector motor is shot,working when it feels like it, or is getting stuck. best bet is to keep it on the dash vents, but after i show you how to dougie, u can manually switch it back.

lay on ur back and look up to the side of the dash from the drivers side you will see this white plastic boomerang mechanism that moves and selects which vents to open and close. turn your dash buttons to blow on the face, and manually turn the boomerang far counter clockwise as you can until its in this position. the white tab will meet the end of the metal guide rail.
