Manual controls?  If so, it's usually a broken vacuum line.

Vacuum leak. It will default to defrost for safety, since you've gotta see

I probably have a good working one that I could sell you if you need it. Do you have a pic of what it looks like?

I'm sure that I do. Gotta locate it  on my parts car though. If I remember correctly, it's under the passenger fender. The system is working fine though, so it has to be a good part. Give me a few days to get to it.
