The vents will not change from defrost to the floor vents or the straight vents that will blow in your face. Do the interior air vents work off vacuum hoses or cables. What is causing my problem?

Good morning,

Okay, I attached a vacuum diagram.

The controls are all vacuum. Electronic motors did not start for many years later.

My friend got it fixed with the information you gave plus a video from YouTube did the job. Thanks again Roy. Are you a retired mechanic?

Sometimes I guess that felt like 50 too many years.
Would you do it again or get into another line of work?
