Re: ac problem help please

sounds like there's no vacuum to the diaphragm. make sure the vacuum line is connected to the intake manifold and is not broken.

Re: ac problem help please

also check for vacuum leaks behind the heater control panel in the car - sometimes the selector switch goes bad and has to be replaced.

For safety reasons ( to clear windshields in cooler climates) if you loose vacuum to the heater controls, it automatically defaults to defrost. So check both your control unit and your vacuum lines like the other posters have suggested.
