Air blows cold and hot, but only blows through the defrost vents and only on high. All my other settings do NOT work. Is this a fuse or is it a deeper issue?

You are looking for a vacuum leak problem. The vents are actuated by vacuum. The defroster is a default setting. Check under the dash for leaks. With the engine running, you may get lucky and hear a hissing noise from the leak.

Let me know what you find.
