Heat always from defroster vents

[cyclingkevin]

Heat from front window defroster vent and always on with blower as well as when ac is on. Changed heater control valve. Still have same issue. Any ideas on what I could try next?

I have used that vent setting and heat is on. It does get hotter when adjusting heat setting with blower.

Only thing I can think of is to bypass heater core with the hoses. I have 95 530i. Thanks for any help.

There are heater door motors that control door flaps to direct cool and warm air. Perhaps a motor has failed or a flap is broken. Possibley one of the heater cables that directly connects to a flap is broken. Just gueesing her.
