What is wrong with the heater controls on a 91 Buick Regal when wont switch to defrost vent etc even lights buttons iluminate?

**Here are a few things that could cause failure in the heater controls:

- Blown fuse or faulty relay.

- Faulty blend door actuator or motor.

- Faulty temperature control switch.

- Problems with the wiring harness.

- Issues with the control module.**

Solutions:

* Fuse and Relay Check: Inspect the fuse associated with the heater control system for any damage and ensure the relay is functioning correctly. Replace the fuse or relay if needed.

* Blend Door Diagnosis: Check if the blend door is moving freely when you switch between different settings. If it's stuck, the issue could be with the actuator or motor that operates the blend door.

* Temperature Control Switch Testing: Verify the temperature control switch is working correctly by measuring electrical continuity with a multimeter. Replace if faulty.

* Wiring and Harness Issues: Inspect the wiring harness for any damage or loose connections that may affect the heater control functionality.

* Control Module Issues: If all other components seem functional, the problem might lie with the heater control module itself. It might require repair or replacement.
