Blower controls

Post by colinrush » Fri Feb 17, 2023 12:48 pm

I have a problem! The heater / Blower seems to work in the Probe but no matter what button i select it will only blow out of the top windshield vents. I seem to remember reading a post about this potentially being down to a vacuum hose near the scuttle but i cannot identify where or what i am looking for - any help appreciated. Also if not this tube - any other ideas what it could be? (The green lights do light up on the pressed button).

Blower definitely works, as does the recirculate button and it blows cold and hot. I just cannot control where it blows out from!
Where is the vacuum line that people mention as a possible cause?
