Climate Control
Can't seem to figure this one out. When I set my Climate Control on "Auto" I get cool air blowing through the vents (towards the driver) but only on the "low" setting. If I turn it to "High" it will blow for about 10 seconds directly at me then it switches to blowing through the vents that defog the front window. Not real helpful on those really hot days. Any ideas?

Man...it's been so long...
But as I recall, the climate control box behind the glove box I think needs to be changed. ANother possibility is the door flap actuator is messed up, which is also behind the glove box as I recall.

Sounds a lot like a vaccum leak...
could be one of the valves on the control box leaking, but I would bet the accuator. There is a vaccum storage tank in the driver's fender (that funny blue tank) which might be able to hold the system up for that kind of time, and that time sounds too long for an electrical problem. Anyway, there are a couple of vaccum accuators up under the dash, you will have to pull some stuff off to see them, on either side of the big white heater box. Get access so you can see them, then switch the system to the face vents and see which one is moving. You should see it release when you loose your air. I would look for a leak on that circuit.
