When anything related to the vents is turned on there is a loud grinding noise and burning smell. This applies to the ac, heat, plain vents, defroster and at any temp setting and any speed setting.

The blend door motor may be burnt out you will need to get this inspected by a qualified mechanic as access is not easy and not a job for an inexperienced person.
