I tried searching for this problem but I can't seem to find much, probably because I don't now what the switch is called.

Anyway, a couple weeks ago the A/C started acting strange. It would blow cold out of the right vent but warm out of the left. Recently the switch on the air controls that switches between A/C, defrost, panel etc is acting up (probably the same problem). When on panel it will sometimes blow air at your feet etc. It seems like the internal mechanism that directs the air through the ducts is not switching to the correct position for some reason.

Any idea what I need to replace/fix? I was going to try removing the dash this weekend to see if I can find out what is wrong. I've removed dashes on some older cars but not on my contour. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

P.S. its a 98 Contour LX v6
