Can I force my defroster to work?


Recommended Posts

EA82T, RX, stupid buttons for the defrost, heater and blower wont work. The OFF works, but then i cant get anything to work. When i got into the car this morning and turned the blower fan on, it works but blows through the vent as if the A/C button is pressed. The Defroster is pressed, but no matter what I do i cannot get air to come out of the defroster. Sucks cause I gotta drive over the pass tonight and I cant really see through foggy windows.

 

Is there a way to manually force air to go through the defroster?

if it's not the vacuum canister then it might be the vacuum valve behind the glove box... I spent a lot of time on my vent-only issue, changing out the vacuum lines, canister, and dash control unit... only to find out that the defrost part was controlled by a vacuum valve behind the glove box... then while scavenging the junk yard for a new one I found that it only seemed to be on turbo models... *shrug*

 

after I replaced that my defrost worked great...
