Hope someone can help !

The climate control itself seems to be working ok when directed onto the windscreen - lots of nice cold air. However, I can't get the airvents on the dash to work. When I click the button on the control to send the air into the cabin the display changes to indicate this is happening,but no air actually comes out (and yes - I have made sure the vents are actually open wink)

It is the same for both sides of the car. Window vents functioning normally, dash vents are not.

Has anyone come across this? Is it just a simple fuse?

Thanks

(ps - its a '99 if that makes any difference)

i want an aero

I'll have a look there, cheers.

I have shone a torch through the vents and the paddle is open and the pipe looks clear.

I also checked the fault code on the aircon and none is showing (as I said it is blowing out clod air, just through the windscreen vents.

Could the hose have come off completely? If so, can I get to it from under the glovebox?

I've done the fault code reading and it came back with '0'.

I have checked all the fuses and it is refusing to work (all the pipes look clear). Interstingly the rear vents work fine. It is just the ones on the dashboard.

Could be a dash off job?
