Prius (2004-09) :: No Air Coming From Windshield Vents / Won't Defog

Today I have noticed that my windscreen won't defogged. Normally it will just takes 30-40 seconds for it to clear. It seems the air that blow to the windshield has blocked or it won't channelled the air to the windshield vents. I tried to feel the air at the windshield vents, but couldn't feel anything. The air seems to comes from the front and the legs only no matter what button/switched pressed. I think the air conditioning amplifier may be faulty. I am thinking of replace it. I have searched the internet, but so far I cannot see any tutorial how to replace it.

Camry :: Fog Spots On The Windshield Near The Vents

I have a Camry 2008 LE model and there is an issue when the a/c knob is set to send air through the main vents (driver side, center console, and passenger). If it is a humid day, I see fog spots on the windshield near the windshield vents underneath it. I feel very slight air coming out of it if I put my hand over the vents.

Also a couple years back, my car got broken into so a glass shard did enter the passenger air vent -- so maybe that glass shard is somewhere in the air passage where it doesn't allow the windshield vents to be completely shut?

Accord :: Windshield And Side Window Defroster Vents Have Not Been Working

My windshield and side window defroster vents have not been working but every other air feature on the air system works fine. When I switch to the defroster, air just continues to come out of the front vents and not out of the defroster vent located on the top of the dash. I plan on going to dealership to have it checked out. I have looked through my hayne's book with no luck. One of my buddies said it could be a relay or something but I have not been able to find a relay specific to the defroster. Just wanted to get this sorted out because it takes longer than usual to defog/defrost my windows now without this feature working correctly.

I have a 2003 Honda Accord EX V-6 Coupe with dual climate control.

Ford Excursion :: A/C Automatically Switches To Windshield Defrost Vents

I have a 2002 Ex with the 7.3. Every time I put it into 4x4, the A/C automatically switches to the windshield defrost vents. After a couple minutes it switches back the the A/C vents. I'm assuming that isn't normal.

Ford 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel :: Windshield Defrost And Floor Vents Won't Work

No matter what I do with the settings for my heater in my lariat air only blows out of the dash vents. Defrost and floor vents don't work it still blows hot air out of the dash vents. I'm not sure what the deal is maybe the vacuum system? I did a search and all I could find was people having trouble with air ONLY blowing out of the defroster and my case is just the opposite.

Ford A/C :: Panel Vents Won't Work / Defrost Vents Push The Air Out

I recently found out that my check valve needs replacing for my a/c vacuum. The problem came from when I turn my AC on, the panel vents do not work. Instead, the Defrost vents push the AC air out. How to replace the vacuum check valve? I would like to avoid the high cost of dealership prices.

Passat (B6) :: Air Only Comes Out On The Windscreen Vents / Two Side Vents

Would having the cup holder replaced on an 08 Wagon with the non climatronic ac system require the disconnection of the right hand side selector that controls where the air comes out.

Just noticed today that no matter what position it's in the air only comes out on the windscreen vents and the two side vents on either end of the dash.

Prius (Gen 2) :: No Air Comes Out Of Vents Whether On Low Med Or High - Fan Not Working Sometimes?

This has been happening every once in a while and it has me puzzled. Sometimes my fan dosen't work and no air comes out of the vents whether on low med or high. It like the fan is broke.I will leave it on any speed and not air will come out but usually within 5 minutes or so it will start working. It happens out of the blue and I cant seem to figure out why or what conditions make this happen. I am a car guy and do all my repairs but I have not ever had a car with a touch screen HVAC.

Prius (Gen 2) :: Bad Odor Coming From Vents

I purchased a used 2007 prius last month. Back then, I noticed a faint smell that reminded me of a barn, horse along those lines. I didn't smell too often because the car still smelled of whatever dealer cleaned with. Now that "fragrance" has worn off, the "horse" odor is more intense. I notice that it smells more in the back seat.

This morning I smelled the vent, and it seems to be coming from there.I heard it was the battery duct battery insulators that accumulate a sticky substance that smells.

Prius (Gen 2) :: Hot Air Still Coming Through Vents With Heat Off?

Recently I noticed that I still have hot air coming through the vents with the climate control system completely off. I can tell that the fan is off because it's not blowing through the vents but the vents are very hot.

Prius (Gen 3) :: 2010 - Air Vents Stuck In One Position

I have a strange problem with the air circulation in my 2010 prius. The vents are stuck in one position. When I try to go to different mode (windshield, floor, etc) it doesn't do anything.

This happened when I was alternating between windshield and other modes to get small parts of glass from the vents (car had a windshield damage due to a "meeting" with a deer). Anyway, I don't know what could be wrong.

Is there a motor that overheated (due to constant switching of modes)? Is there a piece of glass blocking the system from switching?

Prius (2001-03) :: Center Vents Don't Throw Air

I have an 01 Prius I bought used last summer. I have never been able to get air from the center vents or the floor. Last weekend I decided to troubleshoot the problem. I watched the servomotor (on the driver's side of the vent control box) to see if it did anything when I switched between defrost, floor and face and nothing happened. I took the servomotor off and manually moved the vent controls and I was able to get air out of the floor but no matter what position I put the levers/controls in, I was never able to get air out of the center vents.

I hooked the servomotor directly to the battery and it spun just fine.

Prius V :: No A/C Vents For The Rear Seat Passengers

There are no A/C vents for the rear seat passengers. I would be downsizing from a 2005 Sienna and my kids have become accustomed to the rear seat comfort, especially the air conditioning vents directly over their heads.

I would like to know, especially from those of you that live in hot and dry climates, how well the front vents are able to cool the rear seat without freezing the occupants of the front seats.

Prius (2004-09) :: Fans Won't Blow Any Air Out Of Vents

Abridged version: My fans won't blow any air out of the vents. If I spin the blower/fan motor that is behind the glove compartment, it'll work again. But the cycle repeats itself every time I turn the car on.

Prius (2010-12) :: No Air Flow From The Vents After Car Wash

I took my Prius Two to its first car wash today, afterwards, the air flow from the vents became minimal, almost non-existent. How could this be? The car is barely two months old. Prior to the car wash, I had the AC and air blasting to the highest, I didn't change any fan settings, and now there's barely any air coming out. I can hear the fans churning and running, but there's no air!!! Do I take it to the dealer?

Prius (2010-12) :: Strange Smell From Vents

I have a strange (musky) smell coming from my air vents when i turn on the air. I was told by the dealer that this could be mold growing inside the vents because I use the AC a lot. Is there any cure for this besides going to the dealer? they told me that they can partial get rid of this by spraying a chemical into the vent but they cannot guarantee that it will work.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2005 - No Heat From Vents?

I recently picked up a 2005 Prius with 129k miles that seems to be in gFor any codes.

With most cars this would usually point to a faulty thermostat but I'm not sure on a Prius. I checked the coolant level and it's fine. I don't hear any gurgling in the dash so I'm guessing there's no air in the system.
