it only comes out of the defrost vents and there really is no difference between hot/cold. we got the bottom to start blowing just air by moving that metal piece on the vaccum sealed cylinder behind the dash. then we took off the actuator and dad showed me how when he turns the air on in his truck it will suck onto your finger, when we did that to mine, there was no suction.

You are aware that "defrost only" operation is a signal designed in to the system to tell you that you have a vac. leak. Look at all vac. lines including your front hubs.
