Okay, when you set to the right side, does air come out anywhere else such as defroster or floor?

This sounds like a duct issue inside the heater box. The air is being blocked for some reason.

The heater box may have to come out and checked for a blockage.

Is this something you will perform? It requires the removal of the instrument panel to get to the heater box.

Air is constantly split between defrost and heat. It doesn't matter what setting it is put on. The only change is in the off position then it is off. Can't get any air conditioning to come out of the vent in the dash as it should.

The vents are actuated by vacuum. Make sure there are no leaks under the dash or the hood. If the controler is getting good vacuum, it may be bad itself or there could be a stuck or damaged vent door.

Heater problem
1995 Chevy Blazer 184000 miles

I just recently bought a 1995 Chevy Blazer and the vents only blow air thru the defrost vents, not the dash or floors. The heat and a/c don't seem to be working either. How can I fix this? Thanks! :)

Check to see if your control is vacuum if it is it ay not be getting vacuum to operate it. If it's electric it may be just a blown fuse.

How do I check the vacuum? I've only worked on my previous '94 Toyota corolla and only on the engine. Thank you so much for your help! :)

Pull the vacuum line going to the control box from the engine and sput your finger infront of the hole in the tube. If itsucks your finger in then it's getting vacuum. Then check each vacuum port hose for the same thing. If it does the same thing then you need to follow it to your motors on the heater box to see if it gets there then if it does, then your motors on the heaterbox are bad. And not working.

I believe you are looking for a vacuum leak for the vent direction. Check under the dash and hood to look for deteriated or damaged vacuum hoses.

As far as the temp, it should run at about 195 ° F. I would recommend replacing the thermostat.

Noises problem
1995 Chevy Blazer 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 1995 Chevy Blazer, the heating, vent and cooling are all operational. The problem exists with the controls, when I turn the fan up to high it makes a deep loud noise. So I have been leaving the fan on low. I have a Haynes book but it doesn't have enough troubleshooting to answer this question. Any help is greatly appreciated

Believe it or not sometimes things like paper can get sucked in the blower housing. I've even had a mouse nest in my Explorer that was a daily driver. Check by pulling fan motor it's usually easily done.
