Trouble switching heater outlets

On my newly acquired 92, the heater doesnt switch real strong from one setting to another- it just kind of comes out of everywhere at once. I think the defrost is good enough to pass inspection, but I'd still like a goodly blast of air to clear things up on humid/foggy mornings. Where do I look? Not sure on the vacuum- it seems only a hair less than the 91- new vac pump. Assuming that is ok, what else can I check? I had a vent door stuck, and freed it with some PB'laster. Do the vacuum modlues that open and close the doors go bad? One thing I have thought of is the control unit- I'll try the known good one from the blue one this weekend.

Help is greatly appreciated,
Daniel

PS- If I can get my girlfriend back to the shop, I promise we will post pics.
