The front vents all work, when ac or max ac is selected the front blows warm air only. Not hot not cold no matter the temperature selected. The rear blows cold like it should when turned on. Max AC windows doors open the compressor runs continuous. I suspect that the blend door motor is malfunctioning, although I can see it move when the temp is changed. Is there any way to diagnose this further?

Check the heater control valve also.

Good luck and let us know. :)

I found the problem. Pulled the blend control motor and the door fell into the position that blocked air circulating though the heater core; cold air at the vents. The blend door shaft that receives the drive shaft from the control motor was split. So the motor would move but not move the door.
I have found that these systems no longer have a heater control-valve. Hot water circulates in the core all the time. Almost $250 in parts and some foul language the repair is done. It's a van and access is not the best.
