Default W140 AC Defrost Vent Always Blowing Air

Hello Everyone,

I recently got a 1999 Mercedes-Benz S 420. I noticed that the windshield defrost vent always stays on. I cannot get it to turn off. From right when I start the car it is on and when I turn the car off and take the key out it takes a few seconds for it to turn off. I noticed the middle vents do not blow air but the side vents do blow cold Air. The heater is also not working it only blows cold Air.

Any ideas how to fix the defrost vent to be able to turn it off.

Thank you!
