500 sec with no air trough center vent

Greetings again from FL.
My 85 500 sec has now developed a new problem. With air on, the center vents does not supply any airflow to the cabin at all.

Any thought are greatly appreciated.

When you say "with the air on" are you referring to AC? If so, you have a problem; the center vents only function when the compressor is running. The vacuum actuator could be leaking. I think you can access it by removing the glove box.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I am talking about the ac. Cold air on the side vents and in the rear, but only a small amount (bearly noticable) in the center.
I pulled the glove box, and the only vacum actuator accessable there where for the defrost (up-window) and the manual for the passenger side vent. I tried to pull the under dash on the driver side, and did not see any actuators.
Guess I could pull the speedo cluster to see what is behind it.
I am about to sell the whole D** car...

The lack of center air is close to unberable in FtLauderdaler. I am cruising ebay for a cheap replacement. Must have cold air.

Thanks again
