Please have some patience... There is no need to post the same question in several different places...

Vacuum line disconnected somewhere in the system??? This topic has been covered quite a few times. If the related threads link below doesn't cover it, try using the search feature.

Also, you should include your vehicle information in your signature and attach it to all of your posts when requesting tech help. That way those of us attempting to help can give you the most accurate information.

The damper door vacuum actuator on mine lost two clips that join the actuator to the damper linkage. $10 for the 2 parts at the dealer. About 15 minutes to fix. Kinda tough as you have to do the repair blind with one hand from below.

Check yours to see if the damper closes and opens as you switch from defrost to heat.
