Default can't get my a/c tp blow through the vents? why?

when i turn no my a/c it'll only blow air out through the front windshield. so my windows fog up. no matter what selection i hit on the controls it still does this. how can i fix this?

I am not sure if its the same on Hondas, but my old mustang had the same thing happen, and it was a broken vacum. The baffle the directs the air either to your defrost, dash, feet or some combo of them, works off of vacum pressure. If the pressure is not there, it won't switch between them and usually defaults to the windshield defrost.
Like I said though, I am not sure if this is the same on hondas, but that is how my Mustang worked.

The blenddoor is not controlled by vacuum. It is electronically controlled. Take the climate control out and investigate.

the actuator is behind the center console. if the motor is not moving the flaps, it will be on whatever position it was on last.
check the output of your climate control panel with a meter and make sure it is working properly

you IMed me, but your account does not allow IMing...
