Air Conditioning Vents

[willy2084]

Hi All,

Just bought a second hand 2000 Echo (manual) as a run around commuting car. However have noticed that, while the air-conditioning works, the vent selection dial doesn't change the direction/vent used for the air flow.

I can turn the dial, to the feet, face, windscreen, but it stays pointed at the windscreen.

Anyone seen this before, and is it something i can fix myself?

Cheers

Can you feel any resistance whilst turning the dial?

It's all cable operated and a bit tricky to follow but if you remove the top of the dash (pretty easy to do), you should be able to track the cable and see what's going on. My guess is that the end of the cable has come detached itself from the main airbox with all the deflectors in it that directs where the air goes to.
