Ford F - Series The Ford F-Series lineup offers a plethora of models for every occasion or occupation, starting below $20,000 and climbing beyond double that. The F-Series line offers something on the order of 75 permutations, more than some car companies' entire lineups. All are capable of work or play, even those models with luxurious interiors, and all have four doors.

Default F150 vent control
I have a 02 F150 that will only blow air through the defrost. It has an electronic control system but regardless of which outlet you select (defrost, panel vent, floor, etc) it only come out defroster. Any suggestions for how to troubleshoot and fix are appreciated.

The duct work is under vacuum actuated control. YOu have a vacuum leak. The switch is actually a vacuum switch, and could be the problem.
