Recently on a 4 hour trip with the ac on, it sounded like the unit switched to recirculate/max mode however regardless of the fan speed setting the air was barely coming out of the dash vents when this happened. I did notice when this happened my feet began to cool but there was hardly any air coming out of the dash vents. Turning the ac off for a few minutes and back on seemed to resolve the issue, for a short period of time before it happened again. This is a buick lesabre custom with manual climate control w/o separate passenger control. I know there is more than one actuator under the dash wondering if these symptoms narrow it down to which one it might be?

first pul your hvac fuse with key on for 60 seconds it may reset the actuators. then check to see if the wires going to them are partially disconnected. then see if they get power all the time they may not be
