The car listed above is a sedan. I am not getting full defrost flow at windshield. All other HVAC works great as well as the blower motor.

Hello,

If the issue is air flow and not the temperature, that is likely due to a faulty mode door actuator.

It is located on the HVAC box behind the dash.

I have attached the replacement procedure below for your reference.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.

Very helpful, thank you. I still can't reach it without removing the piece of ductwork or the dash piece at the steering wheel.

Were you able to remove the lower trim piece below the steering wheel?
