And there's almost nothing going to the feet as well in the corresponding settings. Even if I shut down all the dash vents, the air still gets forced out around them. If the system (on a 2001 Jimmy SLE 4-dr, if that's significant) defaults to defrost with a lack of vacuum, as some posts on all-defroster problems have suggested, my problem appears to be something different. Or is it? There's also (from other posts) the question of a cheap plastic actuator that forces open the floor vent; but that wouldn't cause the air to skip the defroster in favor of the dash vents, would it? Would love to hear suggestions, especially since I get no suggestions from AllData; thanks to all.
Usually cased by low or no engine vacuum to heater controls.
Check for good full engine vacuum to heater controls.
Check vacuum tank if it has one and all plastic and rubber lines from engine intake to heater controls.

Is it auto AC controls or manual?
