Air Conditioning
Had a strange thing happen the other day. The air conditioning would not blow air out of the dash vents. I tried econo and vent settings; no change. Air will go to the wind screen in defrost or to the floor only on other settings.
Any ideas what to look for to fix this one?

check by the drivers side where your right foot would be. there is a white plastic arm with a rod attached to it in a black channel. when you change from heat to AC this rod should slide in the channel which changes the vent flow. If you clean and regrease this channel it should work fine.
try switching the ac to hot/cold and then give the rod a little push and it should go. I'll try to post a pic - it's not the easiest object to describe.

 in this picture the rod is in the furthest down position which equals cold air/ dash vent flow

Well I finally got to looking at the levers. The track was clean with no sign that it had ever been greased. I greased it but it made no diff. Greased the other 2 white movable channels too and the pivot areas. Still sticks. Once you give it a push past where it sticks, it will move from heat to cold setting on it's own. It easily goes to defrost on it's own, but gets stuck in the full heat to floor position after that when taken off of defrost. Almost seems like there is someting inside blocking things as it takes a fair amount of pressure to get past where it is sticking an lets go with a thunk.

there are motors with potentiometers built in that move these levers. It's very possible that they're on their way out...
