Well, it's either the mechanical part that changes air flow direction or the Logicon and its associated relays and such. I would recommend following a procedure from a shop manual (these can be found online, do a search).

From my experience, I hear an electrical-motor sound coming from my dash when I have the "head" setting on and I change to feet or to feet-and-defrost, etc. as the motor changes the path of the air coming out of the blower motor. My guess is that the little motor went bad--if you find out that it did, mazdatrix sells new ones (www.mazdatrix.com), or you could buy a used one in the for sale section.
