The buttons are electronic and they will light when pushed in, but the different vents of the car depend on other devices to open them. They will vary from small motors to open and close them to a cable that runs them manually with your movement of a knob. Check the cabling and fuses.

Suggested Repair

The mode-button lights only confirm the switches work. Check the cables or small motors that open the defrost and floor vents, and check the related fuses.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1993 Honda Civic DX says air comes only from the panel vents even when defrost or floor is selected, although the selected mode button lights up. The expert explains that the lights only show the electronic switches are working and that vent selection depends on cables or small motors, so those and the fuses should be checked.
