A/C is stuck in defrost mode

Welcome to 2CarPros.

It sounds like an issue with the mode door actuator. Take a look through this link.

I will tell you, the system on your vehicle is operated by engine vacuum. Near the gas pedal is a vacuum motor which operates the floor / defroster. There will be two vacuum hoses to it. Make sure they are attached.

Here are the directions for replacement of that vacuum actuator. Also, the attached pics correlate with the directions and show location and the vacuum hoses to it.

Before just replacing it, make sure the hoses are not disconnected or damaged. If they appear good, disconnect them and start the engine. Place you finger tip over one at a time to see if you can feel vacuum at the connector.
