I noticed the other day a "hissing" noise coming from my heater when I used the controls. When I turn the heater control to the different settings the air flow stays in the same location and does not come out of the selected setting. For example, the air flow now comes out of the front dash vents in full force and if I change the setting to the floor vent it still comes out of the front dash vents. If I close those front dash vents it is then rerouted to the floor vent but not near as strong of force as previously. If I set the setting to the windshield defrost the air flow is not as strong and if I open the front dash vents it comes out of there in full force even though the setting is still on windshield defrost. Whereas previously the only time the air flow came out of the front dash vents is when I specifically selected that setting.

Can you help?
thanks,
Craig

Have hvac codes checked. Check the vacuum lines under the dash. Check for tranny fluid in hvac vacuum lines, I saw a service bulletin about that. I can't be positive of your problem, at the moment?
