2002 chevy malibu vents stuck open

When the car is started the fresh air vent light is on and I usually puch the air circluate button, closing the vents because I use the windows open. Now the air keeps coming in through the vents. Even though I push the air circulate button.

The problem is a 1/8 diameter hose that runs from the front of the engine over the top and connects at the rear of engine on the drivers side. It is a vacuum hose #GM15967970 It cost about $6.22 at your GM dealer. Hope this helps Bill. My E-Mail is [email protected]

SOURCE: the vents in my 2000 Astro Van quit working

There is a thin vacuum hose running across the top of the engine from the front left side to the rear. this connects to the back of your a/c position switch. Over time it becomes brittle and cracks therefore leaving your vents stuck in it's last positon. Cut out the bad section and purchase about 3 feet of rubber hose at the auto store. Take a piece of the bad section with you to see which size hose will fit onto it. Slip it over the cut ends and pass it thru the space where the windshild washer fluid hose is attached to the back wall. This will keep it up and away from the heat. I had this problem on a 1997, 1999 and 2002 Astro and fixed the problem for less that $3.

SOURCE: 2002 Chevy Malibu. ABS light

The abs light will reset every time the vehicle is shut off. The most common cause of the abs light coming on is a bad wheel speed sensor. A scan tool would be the option to locate the fault in the abs system.

2002 envoy gas dose not go into tank verry fast

There is a restriction either in the fill tube hose or the Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) vent system. A very likely cause is a Canister Vent Control Solenoid that is stuck closed. This can also be caused by a charcoal canister that is saturated with fuel or water. This will usually cause the engine computer to store a fault code and turn the Check Engine Light on. If the light is on, this would be the first clue. You should scan your engine computer anyway even if the light is not on, because some EVAP codes do not turn the light on and leave it on. There will still be stored fault codes in the computer if this is the case.

Hot air only, no fresh air or ac air. no engine overheating.

Your hot air keeps coming since the louver get stuck due to mechanism failure inside the ducting console. It usually is controlled by temperature setting. When the setting has no effect then the engagement is loose. Nee to open the dash vent to check out.

Musty odor coming from AC vents the last 2 days. Is there a filter some where that needs to be changed?

there may be a cabine filter. but if you leave the a/c in max when you leave it overnight, condensation builds and mold can form in the vents. try leave the control in a/c normal or vent. this opens the outside air door and allows fresh air to enter and dry condensation

Chevy Tahoe Sunroof is stuck open moves slightly forward and back

It sounds like it just needs to be reinitialized. Turn your key to the on position with motor off and hold the up/full vent button down for at least 30 seconds or until your sunroof either clicks or goes to the full vent position. That should fix your problem.

Electronic vent control not working in Volvo S40

Hi,
I think here, by your description, that there might be something that has slipped inside the vent holes from outside. you can try to blow some compressed air through the vent holes at the bottom of the windscreen.
Otherwise you can try to look under the dash, activate the switch and see if you can locate from where the noise is coming and see if you can reach the mechanism that control the vent. Normally it must be moving free. Otherwise your local mechanic should be able to fix that ufor you.
Cheers.
