a/c blowing out the wrong vents!!!

[cjagg25]

New to this! I have a 88 Camry i just got and when u turn on the A/C the Air doesn't
come out the normal vents. It comes out of the little rectangle vent above the vents in the
middle of the dash! I hope everyone knows what I'm talking about
For example you know how you can turn the spindle dials on/off for the air to blow out the vents. well no matter which way I turn them on/off the air will not come out off the vents. I take that back, it ONLY comes out of the drivers side vent and passenger side. IT WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE 2 VENTS IN THE MIDDLE. IT's like the shutoff dial borke when it was turned off and the piece behing the vents will not open up! any suggestions?

Mine does the same hing on my 91. I figured some linkage was broke, but havent checked it yet.

The "on/off" dial that is next to the middle vents actually switches the vent to blow from the middle vent to that rectangle vent above the middle of the dash.

I would assume that something is broken in there whether that dial moves or not.
