I need help with current issue with my 1998 Dodge B1500 VAN.

1. When AC is selected, air ONLY blows out of the top vents when the temperature knob is in the hot position BEFORE the AC is selected.

A. If I move the temperature knob from hot to cold or leave in the hot position WHILE the AC is operating, then GOOD air flow from the top vents

B. If I move the temperature knob from hot to the cold position BEFORE the AC is selected, then NO air flow from the top vents but can hear the blower.

NOTE: I removed the glove box and when the HVAC control knob is moved to floor, defrost or any position, the bottom right door baffle opens and closes accordingly and air flow is cold or hot depending on the temperature selected except as mentioned in 1B above. When observing, the top arm of the Actuator opens and closes the baffle door depending on what option is selected. Therefore, in my opinion, the Actuator is operating correctly unless one of the electric pins in the Actuator controls temperature?

Your comments and input are welcome and appreciated to resolve. Thank you.
