[R129 SL] my blower only blows out the top!

[gregorio at weststargroup.net]

I have a similar issue with the blower motor, only my blower comes out the 
top and side vents and not the front - no matter what button you push.  I 
thought it might just be the button panel itself.  Any ideas?  Thanks Group!
