AC blows out floor and defrost vents?
My 1990 ZR-1 with C68 AC is not blowing air out of the dash air vents. It is blowing cold air out of the floor and defrost vents. Anyone else have this issue?

Re: AC blows out floor and defrost vents?
That is the default mode when failed, so that you can see in the cold or wet when defrost or defog is required.
Go to BATEE.com Bryan's site can help you determine and confirm which part has failed. As the poster above said, likely the controller, but there are multiple components that could cause this. Not complex if the programmer or controller. Check out his site. He is THE BEST! www.batee.com  Marty |

Below Is QB93Z thread on replacing the programmer.
http://www.zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=27542 Jim as far as I know went in the deepest with HVAC diagnose and repair. Reach out to Jim (QB93Z) and tap his knowledge. Good luck! |

I hope it's that easy! I replaced the ac programmer back in '97 and that job was no fun! |

Re: AC blows out floor and defrost vents?
I?m having the issue where I have cold ac but it only blows out of the foot and defroster vents. I?m guessing it is possible the HVAC programmer then?

Re: AC blows out floor and defrost vents?
I never followed up on my vent issue. It turned out to be the vacuum line to the ac controller was pinched between the plenum and injector housing.

Re: AC blows out floor and defrost vents?
That is correct. Cruise and AC share a common vacuum source on RH plenum. Secondaries vacuum source is the pump and LH plenum. Stuff under the hot plenum shrinks and ages and gets loose. Not as likely under the dash. I would also consult the FSM and follow the diagnostic tree. Vacuum stuff is pretty easy. Electrical not so much. Your patience and diligence keeps the legend alive.
