Selector switch for changing from floor to dash to defrost doesn't work. Is there any common reason for this condition?

Hello, if the actuator doors are vacuum controlled and the vacuum source is lost, it may revert to defrost mode and stay there. The vacuum source, if that is the problem, should be located under the hood. I don't have a vac diagram right in front of me.
