Default Rear heater vents 98 xj

Looked for info on search found nothing.

I get no air ,Hot or Cold through center rear seat heat vents.
Not sure how its controlled?
Did turn the open close knob still nothing.

Haven't taken center console apart yet to see.
Maybe something under dash.

Thanks for the help.

Paul

Air does come through but it isn't as forced as the other vents. Its not uncommon for a X308 owner to believe there is an issue there So you don't need to take it apart.

I thought the same when I first got my car, but it is as Stu says - it is a very reduced flow to the rear vents.. when I first got the car I read the manuals and expected the back seat area airflow to be as active as the front but it is more of a gentle waft in truth.. but it does still help the kids in the back nonetheless :-)

The air flow through the rear vents is weak--that is normal.

Assuming the damper is open there should be *some* air coming out, but don't expect anything like the volume of air experienced from the front vents.

You'll only get airflow when the climate control is set to the panel vents. If you really want to test the operation, select panel, set fan speed to maximum, and close the dash vents. Then you might have sufficient flow from the rear vents to confirm they're working.
