Default A/C blows just not thru vents

I have a 2000 Durango 4.7. My a/c is still blowing it just seems as though it's not making it to the vents (dumping in the dash). Sound common or familiar to anyone? Would greatly appreciate any help.

Does the heat or air other than A/C come through the vents? If so, I have a feeling you have a blend door stuck under the dash.

I had that problem with my 02. It was the mode cam actuator that controls the blend door. One of the screws worked itself loose. It is found in the lower dash, near power outlet.

+1 on the vacuum. My hose from the firewall to the main vacuum line was missing, so I had to run a new hose into the dash.

ok you guys are talking about 2 different hvac system setups, 98-00 had vacuum actuated doors, mid year 00 i believe, they switched to electric actuators, so either his electric actuators are gone bad, or he has a broken vacuum line


just needed to clarify.

Default Thanks

Thanks for steering me in the right direction guys. My wife is on a road trip in it and I'll have to wait til she gets back to look into it. Thankfully, for her sake, she said it just started working again out of nowhere. (told her not to touch a damn thing til I get it fixed, lol)

You probably have the electronic controlled one then, since I doubt a damaged vacuum line will just fix itself. Possible, but unlikely.

Let us know if you ever find anything out later on.
