Need help with a/c vents blowing just threw the bottom
Need help with a/c vents blowing just threw the bottom Hey guys,
Just registered to the site, and was wondering if ya'll could give me some help with my a/c. I've been wanting to get it recharged after my compressor went out but i first want to fix the vent problem i have. Have any of you experienced this when you vent dont want to blow air threw the a/c vents it just blows air threw the defrost vent down at the bottom and windshield. I've changed the control panel but nothing yet, i even got vaccum as far as the engine compartment dont know of anyother place to check. Any advice?

^^ What he said (2001NBMZ28).
Look under the hood w/engine running and listen for a vacuum leak "HIISSSing"
Maybe a loose line or what I had, a bad (broken) check/T valve.
Good luck!

You changed the control switch on the dash? It's also run by little vacuum tubes. Start the car then go to the drivers side and put your head down by the switch. You should be able to hear the hiss when you move the switch positions and vents opening and closing. I have chnaged that unit and the first time I didn't get it right. Just a thought.

Verdad Gallardo I checked every thing but nothing yet do you think it could be a bad compressor that stops it from working and what exactly is default mode? Is that when your a/c doesnt have freon and it stops working right because of the pressure switch?

I have vacuum you are right the blend door do work because if i change the temperature it does work so do the speed of the air comes out works too. But nothing yet how do i get in there to change this actuators or check the hoses?
Mine has been doing the same thing for a couple years now..I went out today & played with it & noticed the tube wasn't hooked up on the very back of the intake(under the plug) I plugged it back on & that still didn't work, I did notice that the plug doesn't fit on very well. I don't know if the SLP unit has a smaller diameter fitting? It is not in there very tight & will probably slip off.
