Mode button doesn't alter where the air comes out.

Post by Alacrity » Mon Jan 12, 2015 5:42 pm

My poor old Bongo suffers from lack of use & recently I noticed the heater/cooling air only comes out of the dashboard vents. No matter where I set the mode button, it still exits through the dash vents. Not good in chilly wet weather! The mode display changes as it should & when you put it onto the windscreen setting it lights up & the fan goes to full speed but nothing is blowing onto the screen, again only the face vents.

Anyone any idea?

Good info, this is a common problem. :wink:

I knew that no good comes from change for change's sake!

So called improvements. Huh.
