SOURCE: air will not blow out of panel vents

vents are blocked so air is diverted to other vents, check and clean if necessary

SOURCE: Faulty Fan Heater - The main vents are just blowing out cold air.

all cars have a recycled air weather its called max or just recycle its doing the same thing. So if your getting cold air in one spot and hot in another it means your vents are not blocking where they are suposed to. It could be just a simple fix, by getting into the dash where your vent controls are and looking at the flap that tells air where it can and cant go. if its stuck then it needs to be cleaned and oiled. If the cable is corrodend clean it and oil it so it can move freely, or just reconnecting it may be the fix. it sounds like you are going to have to be adventurous, and play with the mechanics of your vents. Typicaly theres really nothing tough there to work on, just REMEMBER WHEERE ALL THE SCROOS AND CLIPS GO. I have forgotten where a few went in the past and had to listen to sqeaking noises till I took it apart again. There are vent seals wich are no more than the weather stripping you buy at the hardware store the 1/8 inch thick tape. You may need to thin it down with a razor, usually not. but it works great for fixing the seals in car heaters, because its the same thng just a different color. Which no one will ever see.

SOURCE: Dash vents will not blow air. Defroster and floor vents blow fine.

Is it a new vehicle? I had a new vehicle that had the same problem. Answer was that the holes weren't punched out of the vent.

There is a actuator motor that controls this,and it is not working,unfortunately ,the whole dash has to be removed to replace the actuator motor.If this was at all helpful,please rate,thank you.

I have a 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette and the front Air Vents do not blow out anything at all. There is no A/C heat or defrost. Would a low compressor cause this? The rear vents are blowing out air as...

The blower motor is either bad, or if you hear it blowing in the front but nothing comes out of the vents, then it's a vacuum motor problem. The flaps aren't angled right to allow air to come out of the vents (either for a/c, heat, or defrost).

Heat wont work on drivers side of car.Only blows cold air even when control setting is up to 90 degrees. Passenger side works properly.

there is a flap inside the venting that directs the air. This vent can get stuck. It is controlled by a vacuum controlled actuator. It can be leaky or a hose is disconnected

On the bottom of the air unit is the lever that changes temps. It likes to fall out of place.I propped mine back with a piece of half-inch copper pipe a couple of years ago.Remove glove box then panel on front side of console to access.

Air flow weak when set to heat

check for dirty cab air inlet or "HVAC" filter, or heater core is plugged from debris and air is being restricted and wont blow through. it works like a radiator, air ducts can also be getting stuck.
