Defroster blows through vents?
Is it normal for the defrost to blow hot through the vents? It really doesn't defrost my windows very good but it sure keeps my hands warm! ANy suggestions?

Suggestions?
The vent actuator doesn't sound like its working all that well, it could be worn out, or something like a leaf, could be stuck in it. Find the online Factory Service manual on this site somewhere, and start diagnosing, it really could be a number of things, I would check the actuating door first (swings down to vent, up to defrost) to make sure it isn't somthing obvious. -Patrick

My defrost didn't work one or two times and it would get stuck. I lubed it and it worked fine then. Have someone push the button for you while you are looking under the dash to see if it moves but is stuck.

pull the cilmate control codes more then likly there is a problem with the mode selector motor
pulled from www.svx-iw.com: How to Check Climate Control Trouble Codes Author: FSM Printable Version | Submit Feedback There is no light indicating any problems with the climate control system. There is a method to pull any error codes from the system. The following self diagnosis will show any fault codes for the climate control system: Run the car until the engine is warmed up to at least 40°C/104°F then turn off the engine. While holding both "AUTO" and "OFF" on the climate control system turn the key on. Any codes detected will be shown on the temperature display. NOTE: An error code 13 will always be returned if these steps are not performed in clear daylight as the sun load sensor requires a certain amount of light to be considered operational. NOTE: Anytime codes 13, 33, 34 or 35 are displayed, the condition is one which is currently occurring. Thorough climate control information can be found in the following PDF file: climate_diag.pdf List of Climate Control Trouble Codes Trouble Code Contents of diagnosis 00 No errors operational 11 In-vehicle sensor open 21 shorted 12 Ambient sensor open 22 shorted 13 Sun load sensor open 23 shorted 14 Evaporator sensor open 24 shorted 15 Refrigerant temp sensor open 25 shorted 16 Water temp sensor open 26 shorted 31 Air mix door (PBR) faulty 32 Mode door (PBR) faulty 33 Mix door motor faulty engine 34 Mode door motor faulty engine 35 Intake door motor faulty engine

Matt, Is it supposed to go all the way to the end or just to the last turn? I'm getting a code 33, how do you access that?

I'm curious, we all know the SVX likes to warm our feet while our hands freeze, and vice versa.. has anyone ever found a 'fix' to make it blow out of the dash

Looks like taking out the glove box is the only way to get there. Thanks for the tip.
