Chevy S-10 truck blower problem

I have a new issue with my truck blower, it only blows out the defrost
vent now and will no longer change when I turn the switch. It still
blows heat and AC but only out the defrost vent. I have heard this is
probably a vaccum problem but don't know where to look, or could it be
something else.

Look at the vacuum lines that go into the firewall. Follow it back to
the engine. Make sure they are OK. Also look at the brake booster line
and the lines that run to the vacuum reservoir under the hood.

Life is not like a box of chocolates
it's more like a jar of jalapenos-
what you do today could burn your a.s tomorrow!

Just took a look under the hold, close to the vacuum resevoir is a "T"
connector and it appears the hose coming off the "T" broke off. I
don't see any hose laying loose anyway so I guess I'll have to find a
diagram to see where it went

Check for the sticker under the hood.
What year is this truck?

Truck is a 1997, Got the flashlight out and found the broken hose from
the small T-connector tucked back behind some wires, took a small
piece of hose from the house relaced the broken one and connected to
the T-connector, all works well.

Yep, That will do it.

Most likely a vacuum motor problem way deep under the dash....mine required
dealer to pull dash out just to get at it

That's when it's time to look for something else to drive!

A vac leak in my air line to the 4wd valve caused the same thing for me.  I
think any vac leak will cause the vac door motors to inoperate especially
under load.  This may not be the case for you but it certainly solved my
problem with both my 4WD and A/C and/or blower 'issues'.

Thanks,
Andrew.
