Default Defroster

The last couple of days when I use my front defroster, it seems like the blend door doesn't close all of the way because a good amount of air is still blowing out of the vents. And last night I tried the other settings like just the floor vents, and I still got a lot of air blow out of the top vents as well. Im thinking that a vacuum line somewhere has a hole or something in it. Do any of you guys have a diagram of where the vacuum lines are? Or know where I could look first or something?? Thanks guys.

pick up a haynes manual. Im pretty sure they have all the vacuum diagrams. Just to put an idea in your head i believe its your selector switch that has gone bad.when they go bad air is automaticlly directed to either the floor vents or the defrosters.

I'll keep that in mind. But I still get air out of the defroster or floor or whatever, but it also comes out of the vents.
