96 C4 AC/Heat Blower/Vent problem
My AC/Heat works great but it will not switch from blowing from the
floor vents to blowing out the dash vents, it use to do it aftewr a few minutes or so but now it has stopped doing it and stay on the floor vents no matter what switch location i put it on,should I assume since I am having problems with my Cruise that I have a vacum problem thats related to the venting system? I have the climate control option. Any help appreciated. Dave |

The culprit was located on the passenger-side under the "Corvette" engine shield over the manifold. Just follow the vacuum lines to identify it. Problem with mine was a crack in the neck of a barb that entered the check proper. I was able to use some silicone to repair the connection and now everything works fine. Good luck to anyone with the same problem. |

The dealer thought it was a computer problem and yours may very well be a vacuum problem but the fix for mine was simply to refill the Freon and fix a slow leak. It seems that the AC computer doesn't want to blow warm air in your face so it waits until the evaporator coil gets cold enough before turning on the dash vents which normally takes less than a minute. As you lose Freon this takes longer and longer until the AC can't get the coil cool enough to convince the computer to enable the dash vents. It's still cooling and the floor vents feel cool but apparently not enough. The C5's don't do this so I assume Chevrolet realized it was a problem. |
