What do you mean nothing works? Does it not blow air ? Can you change the different modes (defrost, floor, ect..)

Mode door. I believe most are vacuum assisted so you could just have the hose ripped or torn off. Usually the car will default to defrost only when it messes up like that.

It would be in your dash next to the blower motor. Basically its two flaps that have hot/cold air coming out if it. They work with each other to control air temp and direction of air flow(but not all the time). Since I dont know your car it could be controlled with a cable, electrically, or with vacuum.

You need to find a service manual for you car so you can find were everything is then start diagnosing.
