Default 78 AC Problems!
My AC will work on normal but when I select AC MAX even the fan stops blowing. Any ideas?

Welcome to the forum.
I guess the first thing I would look at would be the control module itself.

Default Now to the vents
Seems like she is blowing cool air on the floor. Now I can't get it to blow through the vents.

It could be a stuck actuator, bad actuator, or leaky hose.

Does it work now on Max A/C?

It all seems to work other than the vents.

It's been a long time since I installed mine but I believe there is an actuator that controls a door that deflects the air to the floor, the vents, or the defroster vents.
