HVAC vents not opening

When I turn the hvac setting to any setting, I hear the blower working, but no air comes out of the vents. It all comes out of the defroster vents.

Is there ducting behind the dash that redirects the air depending on your hvac setting? I used to hear that sound when I turned the vent setting on, but now I dont.

What do i need to do to fix this?

What you're describing is the default setting. Chances are you have a vac leak somewhere. This is a common thirdgen problem. You might consider a search as the topic has been covered many times.
