Default A/C Air Vent Problem

For the past week my vent system has not been working correctly. Sometimes when I start the car, the Front Defrost button just blinks. Also all the air in the front is being pushed thru the defrost vents no matter which vent mode i put it on. I can put it on feet or just front or feet and front and it stills blow out the front defrost vents. The rear vents are coming out just fine.

Does anyone have any ideas? I checked all the fuses and it seems to be okay.

there are flaps right after the air exchange that will divert air to different ducts depending on what you choose. maybe check to see if the flap is working correctly? I had this same problem with my old Accord and it turned out to be that one of the wiring harness was nicked and air couldn't be diverted correctly.

Check out some of the AC servo motor threads, does it make a squeaking/rattling noise. Could be a bad servo motor which is another common issue with the GS. There is a way of resetting the the AC/vent system/motors you could try. Mine makes an annoying squeaking sound like a mouse is crawling around in there but the AC still works alright.


Edit: Sorry I just saw this was for the 3rd Gen and the servo motor is more common to the 2nd Gen from what I have read.
