    All of the controls for my AC/Heat work fine except for the directional control. When I turn it nothing happens and air only seems to blow out of the defrost, floor, and outer vents but none through the center. It's like it is stuck and it just randomly started happening. Is there a specific fuse for the directional control knob or is this something else? Thanks

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    Is the knob broken? Can you hear it cycle through the different vents when you turn the knob?

    No, the knob seems to be working fine and is cycling through. I removed the knob and made sure it wasn't stripped.

    Edit: The knob isn't cycling through vents when turned. It is not stripped though and clicks when turned.

    There's a mode control cable behind there. Make sure it's connected and operating properly.

    See if the attached helps.

    EDIT: I see you're in an 01-04... the attached is for a 95-00

    Yeah, if I'm not mistaken I think the 01-04's are controlled electronically vs a cable.
