Need help with cabin vents

Still having problem with the cabin vents in my car, I'm getting air only from the front defroster and top side vents, nothing from the center console or two side vents. I checked all the fuses, replaced resistor, and blower motor, works fine in all 4 settings.

No matter what setting I put the climate control on (feet, front vents/feet, etcs.) air only comes from the defroster and top vents. After searching previous posts, I think it maybe a problem with the vacuum hoses or air blend door/flap, but I dunno which hoses to check or where the flap that controls the air to defroster/cabin is located. Looking for any help/info. Thanks.

We don't have vacuum controlled mix doors. There is a motor behind (mode door) the dash that is electrically controlled to open the vent door. Let me see if I can find it in the FSM.

Thanks, so I have to remove the whole center console to get access to the motors? And I'll have to check both the air mix and mode door motor?

You might be able to access them from leaning down from the drivers side floor board area.

One more quick question, having trouble finding the parts/ part#, the air mix motor is what controls whether hot/cold air comes in right? and the mode door motor is the one that controls which vents/defroster the air goes into right? Thanks
