Search "wild vents". That may be a contributing cause.

Are the vents not switching at all? That's a vacuum problem. need to check the lines on the passenger side of the intake, and make sure something ain't broke.

Then you need to check and see if you are getting vacuum to the control head.....

That's the part in the dash with the ***** on it. All the vents are controlled by vacuum, temp is controlled by a little motor under the heater box. Need to verify you are getting vacuum TO the control head, else, nothing is gonna work.
