Cabin Air Flow no Defroster ai flow or Dash level

I'm getting air flow at the floor but I cannot get air flow through the dash and defroster. I can hear some movement as I rotate the dial.
2005 2500 Diesel. Is there a vac system that operates the direction of flow?

Welcome to the broken defrost door club. You will have to have it fixed. If under warranty the dealer will do it for you, but if not. You will have to pull the whole dash to get to the heater and fix it.

What if your not under warranty anymore, anyone have a how to on what you need to fix and how? I checked my recirc door and it still works good but my control on where it come out(vent, floor, mixed, deforst) has a mind of its own and will work when it wants.
Thanks

The tsb is for 02 models only-but its the same part for all dr 02-08 & I'd post a link-but its from mamma chry-you have to have a registered user id to access.Just follow the instructions for a recirc housing-which will get the dash back & the plate is in the middle & up top-no case removal necc.
