Heat only comes out of defrost vents

Trying to get my 91 SE road worthy as the 93 SE is for sale. I noticed when I purchased the car the heat would only come out of the defrost vents, no matter which button was selected. Well the lights were out on it as well, so I figured I would throw the one from my wrecked 90 SE in there. Well still no lights (I think they were burned out anyways) but it did not solve the problem either. I noticed a motor hooked to a rod going up towards the dash, is that what controls which vents the head comes out of? The fan speed and hot or cold function fine, just cannot select the vent.

Thanks,
Geoff

regarding the motor and rod u found, i believe that is what controls the blend door...it should be actuating as u select the different buttons.
compare and contrast with ur wrecked 90 (assuming it works in ur 90)
