80% Defrost only from blower

Submitted by bobabbey on 1 September 2010 - 4:45pm.

I have a 1981 300SD. Fixed my A/C. Now all my A/C blows out the defroster. I noticed all modes are 80% out the defrost ducts. Where do I go next? Vacuum? Electrical? Any diagrams available for either?
I do show 15" vacuum at the source. Low I know... seems to be the shift diaphragm on the pump. It also takes about 10 seconds to shut down after key off.
What's next?
thanks,
Bob

Suspect vacuum leak

You most likely have a leaking flap door actuator or loose vacuum line. You will need the factory climate control manual to understand the system and know how to troubleshoot the problem.
