97 GMC Sierra don’t blow out of front vents.

97 GMC Sierra don’t blow out of front vents. Blows fine out of defrost and floor. I blew some of the dust out of the actuator springs and wiped the gunk out. Then turned the dial to a new position and heard the baffle pop like it switched. It seemed to be functioning correctly but just didn’t blow out the front. For the halibut I pulled the fuse and put it back. then the A/C blower did work at all. I turned the dial a bit, waited a few minutes and it auto-magically started blowing out the front.

The delay in the blower starting must be something with removing the fuse and reseating. But the question is with the baffle. Anyone know a way to push it to the front vents in case it sticks again? I don’t want to have to remove the dash. Also, maybe it those actuator springs/arms need replaced. Too afraid to turn the dial, I’m sure the kids will turn the dial or me when the glass fogs up;-) . I could tape the dial to not move, but what kind of crap is that….?
