Vent Panel
No A/C out of panel vents at all. '89 Chrysler LeBaron w/ATC system.?

I checked vacuum as in Fact Serv Manual. It is ok, except vac doesn't hold at black port at vac conn as FSM says it should.Panel vents don't work at all, whether at idle or acceleration. Always blows on floor when set to PANEL. DEF and FLOOR settings work fine. I changed out ATC unit and Power Module. ATC diagnosis shows no faults. FSM mentions check valve, but A) I can't find it, and B) I think it isn't the culprit because vents NEVER work- not even at idle (high vacuum). Check valve at Master Cyl is ok and does hold vacuum where it goes into car thru firewall. Temperature settings work as expected. Coolant mixing valve works fine (vac actuated).
Thank you for your help!

You've probably have a servo leaking vacuum. Check each one at the servo. If one leaks, none of the rest will function right. Also the vacuum hoses may have been switched around.
