I believe the box under the glove compartment is actually the "valve" that turns on and off vent positions. When you turn the selector on the dash to change the vent output, you'll usually hear that little box turning something a second or two after.
Check that turning that output selector actually triggers that "valve" and go from there. Might be the selector itself, a bad connection, or even that box that holds the "valve" .
Don't follow me, I'm lost too! O|||||||O
