Answer
Hi Nathan -

Looks like the A/C door is binding. This door channels the air into different ducts - I think it is not transferring to the dash vents. Check below the radio area (might have to remove some items to get at the ductwork underneath). Find the door in the ductwork, ensure it is free and easy to open/close. Coating the seal with grease will help it not to bind.

Hope this helps -
aloha and happy new year
