Where is the Rear Air Vent Switch Located?
1 Answers
In most family cars, the switch for the rear air vents is typically located at the rear side of the front center armrest, usually in the form of a dial. In higher-end models, the rear air vent controls may be integrated into the rear center armrest, allowing adjustment of airflow direction, speed, and temperature. Reasons why the rear air vent may not blow hot air: 1. Faulty vent valve causing poor opening: If the plastic components of the vent valve age or screws come loose, preventing proper opening and closing, it can affect airflow. In such cases, the valve can be gently pried open with a tool or repaired at a service center. 2. Poor duct design: If the air duct is excessively long, the heat may dissipate before reaching the rear vents, resulting in lukewarm air. There is no fundamental solution for this issue, but setting the fan to maximum speed may help increase hot airflow. 3. Damaged duct: Car air conditioning ducts are made of plastic and may age, crack, or wear due to interference with other components over time. If the duct is damaged, hot air will leak from the compromised area. In such cases, inspection and replacement at a dealership or repair shop are recommended.
