Not normal at all. If you're in Panel mode, the defrost vents should not
have any airflow. Since the '01 is a transition year truck (electric or
vacuum A/C actuators), check the small vacuum line to the firewall (if
applicable). If you have electric actuators, disconnect the IOD fuse for
about 10-15 seconds and then reinstall. Start the vehicle and let the
actuators run through their quick calibration mode.
If that doesn't help, you may have a sticking/broken door in the A/C box.

Subject: DML: A/C problem (?) on '01 Dakota
It's August, and the temperatures are up, and so's the humidity. But this
isn't the usual A/C problem, where it doesn't work. The A/C works, blows
nice
and cold, but all of the various vent settings include at least some airflow
to the windshield glass. That cools the glass enough to start condensation
on
the outside, leading to having to run the wipers as well just to see where
I'm going.
Turning the knob this way and that, I can feel the airflow to the various
vents (floor / face / dashboard) changing, so it's not that I can't select
different outputs, it's just that all of them include the dashboard vent.
Is this supposed to be that way, or is this something I can fix?
