When I move the selector switch to the RIGHT (feet, feet/dash, defrost) the air blows out the feet and defrost vents all the time on all three positions, no difference between selections. All the selections seem to operate properly on the left side. Also, the HEATER blows warm air but does not seem to get as HOT as it should. The engine temp guage shows the engine temp to be fine.
 






Get in on the passanger side. Pull down the glove box all the way. Now look towards your left. You should be able to see a few actuators that have air lines going into them.

Turn on the car and turn move your control know to the different positions. You should hear and see the actuators moving the different vent peices around. Maybe one or more of them are not working correctly.

I know one is for the feet. One seems to be the vents and one does the defrost vents. I think there may be another one in there that does something else as well.
