Vents won't change to floor or defrost

I have an '08 without navigation. This morning I noticed the air wouldn't blow out of the floor or defrost vents on the driver side. It showed it on the screen but physically did not change. Just wondering what it could be? Thanks in advance

Could be a stuck relay. I had a stuck relay in my '07 MDX's AC, it wasn't blowing cold air. Took it to Acura and they fixed her up for free within an hour or so, and she blew ice thereafter.

I have an '08 that I am taking in to Acura tomorrow for a similar situation, but mine is not "no" air, but very little. When I toggle the floor vent, I get maybe 15% air flow out of the floor vent and the rest comes out of the defroster. I'll let you know what they find, don't know if it will help, but couldn't hurt.

Same problem...updates?

Guys, I have the exact same issue. No air to defrost or the floor vents. Has anyone ever troubleshot the same or similar issue? If so, please update or share a thread link. I couldn't get the fog off the inside of my windshield taking my boy to school this week...had to pull over and wipe it off!

use a/c on, and heat all the way up in any vent it will prevent if not remove the fogging
caution : nose and mouth will get dry
