Mine go out from time to time... it's really weird.

I'd try looking under the hood and make sure all your vacuum hoses are hooked up.

See if this fits your symptoms.

Re: Air vents not working

Can you hear the blower motor if you turn the fan up all the way? If so, my guess is that shoebox is right. If not, check fuses/wiring and then the motor itself.

Under the RH side of the dash. A better explanation of what your symptoms are would net you better help.

Not really "LT1 Based Engine Tech". Let's move it where it belongs.

Re: Air vents not working

no, theres a motor, but when i turn on the fans on all the settings, there is no air or even noise coming from anywhere? and the rear defrost light doesnt even turn on anymore. Must be something electrical?

Re: Air vents not working

It's really hard to diagnose electrical problems remotely. If you've checked all of the fuses, and you're not up to tracking it down yourself with a multimeter, it's time to take it to a pro.

Re: Air vents not working

well i found the issue, it was HVAC fuse blew, so i put a new one in, and bam, 10 seconds later it blew again. Now its time to start tracing wires, anyone know where I should start? I already took off the switches and i did not notice any loose or unnormal wires. Is this a regular thing that happens? Thanks for the help.
