Angry hot air!!

My defrost won't stop blowing hot air ... I have it on cold fan off and it still blows hot. I have searched previous threads and it says I might have a vacuum leak ..checked and no leaks .. what can it be

check for a vacuum line that goes from the vacuum football under the battery tray. that line is the vacuum for the HVAC and if anything happens to it...

gotta check the vacuum line also, not just the ball. but yes that is the ball I am talking about. There is a vacuum line that runs from there, usually under the battery tray, to the HVAC controls.

I took that EGG out years ago and put a small watch battery in the opening of the hose fitting... haha not proud of it, but probably holds the same pressure

well the Chevy astro van I drive for the state foresters was spewing hot air constantly from defrost, so I looked up the fuse diagram and checked the AC/ rear defrost fuse. It was blown, a simple 20 A micro fixed it.
