I have a 1998 dakota 3.9l and when I turn on the ac it blows but only from the defrost setting. When i turn it on it automatically goes to the defrost and only blows from under the windshield. Does anyone know what this could be. Thanks

Possible vacuum leak. Look for damaged, cracked, split or otherwise leaking vacuum lines/hoses. If inspection shows nothing, spray some cleaning agent (like throttle body cleaner) on all the vacuum lines (with the engine idling). If you notice a stumble or change in the engine's idle while spraying, then you have located the leaking area.

Hopefully yours will be a vacuum leak as described above. Mine ('02 SLT) had the same problem a while back and it turned out to be broken plastic in the damper box under the dash. Expensive if you have to take it to the dealer. I lucked out - extended warranty covered it.

possibly a vac line loose from the heater control module under the dash board... you have to remove the heater control panel so you can get at the back and see....
