Defrost when floor selected?

[UglyMutt]

Ok fellas, my car was just in for an airbag light and I also mentioned that when the HVAC is on floor only I also get air coming out of the defrost and a fair amount. Not like some bleeds for circulation but like its 50-50 between the two.

So the service guy says they will take a look at it, then he call to say that's normal? Really? does everyone's car do this? Its annoying because ill put AC on floor only to help the shitty AC seats but then I get gold air on the defrost that causes condensation on the windshield.

Its not a deal breaker but it's a bit of stupid problem. I told the guy that if fixing it means taking the whole dash apart just leave it alone as i don't want my dash to develop rattles and whatnot so if he just didn't want to do the work he had an easy out.

Does your car split defrost and floor when on floor only?

Sounds like one of the Blend Door Actuators is not working properly.

every car has some air passing through the vents even when not selected.

Pretty normal.
Every car does that.
