A/C blows through defrost vent

Yeah as stated you have a vacuum leak which is usually a broken or disconnected line somewhere in the HVAC system. This is the default setting from Ford so that if theres ever a problem youll be able to at least defog the front windows to see while driving.
 
Take a look at the small vacuum line that runs along the top of the firewall. Chances are it has a break in it somewhere, especially if you've recently touched anything in its vicinity.
