I believe that he is trying to point out that with a vacuum leak, the blend door will close and usually the air will all go to the defrost vents. This is a normal problem with a cracked/broken vacuum line and does not sound like an actual issue with the blower motor. Hope that helps

there are vaccuum lines under your dash that actuate the blend doors. They are a PITA to get at. Start looking at the lines under the hood around your master cylinder. with the truck running just spray a little bit of water on the lines and you will be able to see where the water gets taken in.
