I am having trouble with the Defrost/Feet/Vent/AC control. It is a 2002 GMC Sonoma with ZR5 Package. When I go to put the air to blow on my feet or defrost nothing happens. I can turn the switch over to the AC mode and it will start blowing cold air. It still comes out the 4 vents (face). It only blows out of the 4 vents that point at my face. It will switch to AC and the AC works fine but it still only comes out of the 4 vents on the dash by my face. I use to be able to hear it switch and I no longer even hear it trying to switch.
Any ideas as to what is wrong?

Sounds like you likely need to check your vacuum hoses for cracks and breaks. Can't tell u where they all are, but you'll have to poke around unless the dealer can give you a schematic printout of where they run.

I have a 2000 GMC Sonoma, and I can't get any heat, but the heater cord is not plugged. Wondering if something turns it from hot to cold.
