Default one last thread about this please help! voltage drop and ac plus overcharge

I posted another thread about the overcharged issue so you can check that out to piece this all together.nowwww I check the air which blows very cold but...all the air comes only thru defrost vent not any other vents does come thru back vents on center console.Also since I saw it overcharges when I rev it.I turn my headlights voltage drops a bit.turn my air on if let it sit voltage drops all the way down and check gauges light comes on.I drove it around the block with air on and it stayed a little under 14 didnt move. What the heck.its gotta be the wiring.but the vents though? How does that happen

Do you have any control of where air blows? hot or cold? Pull the hvac controls from the dash and check to make sure the little cable is attached.
Correction the blend door is operated by vacuum and the temperature by the cable, at least on a 96

All controls work air blows cold when its set to the ac but all comes out the defrost vent same with the heat theres the main vents then the little one on top on either side the little ones work im guessing there part of the defrotst vents.doesnt blow on the floor nothing all comes out thru tue defrost vent

Is this the same rig with the hacked-together alternator wiring from some aftermarket ignition system attempt....? If so...that's your problem that you need to fix which was already indicated in your last thread.

Also, air only coming out of the vents indicates that there is either a vacuum leak, or the reservoir inside the front bumper on the passenger side was removed.

Guess I'll be the one to ask...you said your belt squeals like crazy. Have you verified that your belt is properly tightened, and that all of your pulleys spin correctly, freely, no slop, no seizing, and all in line with each other?
