Anyone able to explain why the driver side vent isn't blowing out air? Every other vent in the car is working fine. No matter what vents/AC/heat/etc that I enable, the driver side vent isn't actively blowing air.
With the sunroof cracked or window down, I can feel a draft of air coming out of the vent, but it certainly isn't blowing the air out.

Has anyone ever come across this? Didn't pick up anything on a forum search.

Thanks

Is the vent tube under the cluster gauge missing or blocked? It may be disconnected on one end?

If it is in place, I would pull it to see if air is blowing closer to the blower motor.

You know there is a dial there that opens and closes it?

Maybe someone replaced the ignition switch and did not replace the ductwork properly?

Previous owner did have ignition switch replaced now that you mention it. I'll pop it open and take a look soon. Thanks all

Divot

Nothing to pop open, just look under the dash. Odds are, you are not connected on the left side closest to your non-functioning vent.

Here are some pictures of what the ducting looks like with the dash removed. The passenger side shows both pieces connected. (it is almost identical to the driver's side) It should be an easy fix.

David, how did the "foot heater" vent work out for you this winter?

Divot

No problems, Tim. I drive the truck in cold weather.

was this picture taken by the Toyota research labs???

I noticed they didnt feel a gas pedal was required!

You guys nailed it...
The ductwork was not fully connected on the left side.
Easy fix as you mentioned. Now working perfectly. Thanks for the help.
