Also, my temperature button does not control the heat or A/C only blows heat mostly.

Good morning,

The system works on both vacuum motors and electronic actuators.

The fact it is stuck in defrost mode tells me there may be either a vacuum supply issue or the vacuum motor on the heater case is bad. You will need to check for vacuum to the system from under the hood. I attached a vacuum diagram for you to view to be sure there is vacuum.

If it is the motor in the case, the instrument cluster has to be removed. That will be a large project.
