A/c vent fell back into the duct
Ok I got you, but when it fell it sounded like it went to the bottom of the dash either behind the front console or the glove box. I tried to fish a wire with some duct tape sticky side up around it and only got about 16 - 20". If I can't fish it out is there something I have to dismantle.
Thanks fellas ima try it out, the car has sat for about 3 years. I turned the accessory power on and air was not blowing out the vents, so I will try your suggestions. oh, the blower motor seems noisy should I just replace it since theyre so cheap?
I put a battery in the car and turned the ac system on and I could not get air from the dash vent, or maybe extremely little flow. I can't tell if the door is stuck, or maybe the vent piece that fell in is causing all of this. The car has bee sitting idle for about three years. I pulled the blower motor, and glove box but I don't see of cannot tell how to get in the ducting.
Oh one very important thing we removed the intake a while back bc, I'm guessing now by reading some other post that is the reason air is not blowing through the vents. But someone please chime in about retrieving this piece out if my vents.

Is the vent in the duct, or not? I recall that the ducting is all one blow molded piece. If so, the only way to get it out is to reach in there with a long tool and grab it. (You can't take the duct work apart.)
BTW - What do you mean you removed the intake? The air intake at the engine compartment?

It sounds like you dropped it down in the duct. Either you need a tool to reach down there and get it out or you need to take the entire duct out of the car and turn it upside down.
Maybe if you remove the blower, you might get better access to the system? Not sure.
Doing nothing is probably not a good option because that thing will rattle like a maraca at every bump.

This will probably break your budget, but its the perfect tool for this kind of thing. http://www.provision100.com/
Its the same stuff a doctor would stick up your ***, but its designed for machinery and doesn't require lube... It also has the added benefit of a periscope and magnet attachment that you can put on the end.
I dropped a bolt down my B-Pillar replacing a seat belt a few months ago and this tool combined with one of the grabbers above was the only thing (short of cutting a hole in my B-Pillar that could have gotten the thing out.
Hilti or Milwaukee make these things now, as well. You might be able to rent one at a Home Depot or other tool rental place.
