With AC set on high, I get air coming out of one vent at 52 degrees F, but 78 to 80 degrees from the other three vents. Also, when I turn the switch to blow only through the floor vents, I get air coming out the defrost vents as well. Is this a problem with the computer controlling the doors for these vents?

Good afternoon.

There are two different actuators for the vents.

I attached a picture for you to view. there are three different ones. one for the modes, one for the cool and heat and one for air inlet.

they are right behind the glove box door.

command different modes and temperatures and see if you can feel them working.

they are very common failures.
