Hello,

It sounds like you could have a faulty mode door actuator.
The mode actuator is what controls where the air will blow from. These can go bad and get stuck in one position.
The mode door actuator is located on the HVAC box behind the dash

I have attached the diagrams below for your reference.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
