air vents not working

**ss~zoso~ss** · 06-20-2006, 02:00 PM

my defroster works, and the floor vents work but the 6 face level vents wont blow any air, ac or vent

sometimes they kick open when i have the switch on the right setting, but recently just the floor ones open up when its on the (face level vents ) only setting.

When i'm running the AC the floor vents arent cutting it, i need to get the face level ones working, like i said, the floor ones are stuck open, and the face level are stuck shut, i have no idea why

any help greatly appreciated.

I had the same thing. I was the switch in the center console.

so u had to replace the switch?

i've had others tell me its a little valve near the firewall.....

how much was the switch?

I "think" that those vents are controlled through a set of vaccuum controls. I would start with start with the AC control switches. I'm not sure how much they'd be from the dealer, but they're on ebay all the time. I'd check there or if you have a buddy with the same car, then you could try a switch out on the switch. It'd take about 5 minutes is all.

Just from the way I see it, that would be the most likely cause, if not that, I'd say you probably have a vaccuum leak somewhere and that could be a bitch to track down.
