Q: A/C blowing out of defrost and vents

asked by on January 22, 2017

My 2011 F250 blows cold air but it blows out of the vents and the defrost at the same time? I haven't checked if it blows out on the floor but when I try to switch it to blow out of the floor, vents or defrost it stays the same.

My car has 100000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
