Ford E-Series A/C Stuck Blowing From Defrost Most Likely Cause

In this video I go over what the most likely cause of Ford E-Series vans and cutaways being stuck in defrost and or defaulting to defrost is and this "most likely" cause is faulty vacuum check valve and or vacuum reservoir. These are known for failing. Usually the vacuum check valve fails and allows air flow in both directions and the vacuum reservoir develops a crack in it causing loss of vacuum. These components can fail individually or together. Regardless of this it is my opinion that they be replaced together when a repair is performed based on their individual track record. In the video I also explain how I personally diagnose this situation so that I'm more confident in my choice of repair path.
