Default Is this wild vents?

Well, in this last week, my A/C will only blow through my defroster vents. Regardless of RPM or mode on the switch, the air only blows through my defroster vents. Typically, with the Wild Vents the A/C blows from the defroster vents when the engine is at a higher rpm. Well, I had that issue for a while, and then all of a sudden, I noticed it stopped blowing out of the normal vents and only went through the defroster. So what I'm wondering is if it really is the wild vents or is something else.

Any help appreciated. I like the windows down, but it sucks when its rainy.

Seems like like you never corrected the problem when it first came up, so I would say YES. But you need to eliminate it as a cause anyway.

Alright. I'll write the part numbers down so my dad can get the check valves. He went to the dealer the other day and they had the 'wtf' look on their faces.

Of course you need to check the hoses everywhere too.

Well it turns out one of my door actuator diaphragms are leaking. Plus my check valves are shot. If someone could hook me up with some parts numbers for the valve that would be great

Got the actuator replaced, and it works great again. Only one of the check valves is bad, so overall I'm pretty happy.
