Default a/c problems.

my ac blows cold but only problem is it will not blow on my face or anywhere else. only on my feet. it also blows on the windshield just a little bit. no matter what setting i put it on it still does the same thing. what is up with this?

my car did the same thing. under the hood on the passenger side there is a check valve for the vaccum system that controls the a/c controls. its at the back of the engine compartment under some wires. mine had holes in it and broke into pieces when i touched it i guess from getting old and brittle. there are 3 vaccum lines that go to it. i went to the dealership the piece is under $10 just swapped it out and it works again.

hope this helps

Had this problem, and it wasnt the lines, they were good, it was the compressor thing in the dash, and had a bad ground is what they told me.

Only blowing on the windshield/feet is the default setting - check for a vacuum leak behind the intake.
