2000 E350, only defrost vents work

Thanks in advance for any help or thoughts.

Situation, AC works, heat works, but they will only blow through defrost vents, will not change to dash or floor vents.

Anyone have a similar issue? any solutions?

  • There is a problem with the vacuum delivery to the vents, or a problem with the servo's. When a problem like this happens, the system defaults to defrost. It's designed that way for safety(vision).
  • My 2000 E450 does the same thing - have looked for vacuum leaks but nothing found yet.
