vent issue

[subie/legacy]

Ok. So it appears that my center vent in the dash is stuck closed (in the dash behind the HVAC surround). I've tried pushing it open with my hand but it doesn't budge..
Also when my A/C is on, the air is only coming out the side vents, and the vents near your feet, no matter what setting it's on.
Has anyone had this problem before, or know who to fix it?
any help or suggestion are much appreciated.

Yeah mine does that every now and then too...

hmm.. must be a 95 problem.. I wish mine was only now and then.

Anyone now how to fix this, or what is the cause?

[subie/legacy]

anyone?

You can see if it's an issue with the control unit itself by taking it out and checking for the continuity of the pins in the back as you cycle between the vent settings.

I myself am not the best at doing that, but my grandfather in law is all about checking continuity.. lol
thank you jey.
I was actually thinking the unit its self might be the problem.
