Default A/C Issues

As hot as it has been I was still driving with my windows down enjoying the air. After putting on my STBs my girlfriend and I were going to the store to test out the car and I turned on the air conditioning. Odd thing happened. with the **** pointing to the top vents, the air would blow out at my feet. and if I turn the **** to blow out my feet, it somes out the top vents. Totally backwards.

Has anyone heard of this issue? I had not used my A/C for a couple weeks so not sure if I bumped anything putting in my STBs. I didn't disconnect anything and nothing is unplugged. Guess if I can't figure it out I will have to bring it to the dealership. I hate to though because my dealership has always given me problems anytime I bring my car in.

I have more trouble out of the HVAC system in this car than anything I've ever owned.

Sounds like a trip to my stealership then
I wanted to make sure there wasn't anything I could do to correct this myself. My local dealership likes to blame any issue my cars have had to a performance part I have added. So I use them as a last resort.

None. But this dealership always tries to use my performance mods as an excuse to get out of any work. Its always a battle to have anything done.
