A/C question

I just got a 1999 FRC that has the manual air conditioning controls. When I try to change the blower between floor, floor/forward, and defrost positions, nothing happens. No matter what position that **** is in, the air still blows the same place. Has anyone run into this problem before? Again, this is the manual control A/C.

Thanks

Well obviously it sounds like either the valve is stuck or your switch needs replacing.

That fuse trick only works on the automatic A/C controllers?

If the manual ones are the same as mine then check the vaccuum hoses under the battery. Could be corroded.

Thanks, I will check under the battery. Never would have thought to look there.

I had the same problem with my 98. There was a problem with the battery causing it to leak (known issue I think). Mine was the dual zone AC but the vent switch controls didn't work correctly. I took it into the shop for the repair because I had an extended warranty. They told me that it wasn't covered under warranty so I had to pay to replace the metal vaccuum hoses. It's been a long time ago, but I recall it costing me a bit over $500.
