R32 Aircon - Can't Change Air Flow To Different Vents

[G Boost]

The aircon in my 32 works good except it only blows air from the windscreen vents. I can't get it to blow air out any other vents. The aircon fuses are ok. Anyone have any ideas?

I had this problem when I was trying to fix my cold air only problem. It just appeared out of nowhere. It might sound kind of stupid, but what got mine working again was a shake of the wires/cables behind the dash from the back of my passengers foot well.

Adam it seems to be the wires somewhere. The previous owner said the aircon vents were working fine until he installed a cd deck. So i'm guessin a wire is hanging out somewhere. I just have no idea what wire to check

It should be the wires near the back of the dash. Pretty much were your passenger's foot will be when seated normally, but towards the dash. Just try giving those wires a shake. I don't understand how something can just stop like that so easily.

The problem with my whole system was, the heater didn't work, only cold ambient air worked. With the help of a member on here, I located the motor which controlled the hot/cold and gave the wires around it a shake and the heater started working, but the direction of air flow thingy stopped working. Gave it another shake then it worked.

Hmm I had a look and can't see any wires. Unless I'm looking in the wrong places. Have a look at the pictures...

Towards where the blue wire is mate. Deep inside. If your hot/cold works, as in you can change from hot to cold air, try switching it and you'll see the motor start working. Switch from 18 degrees then switch to 32. You'll see where the motor moves and the cable should be around there.

Just give it a shake. That's all mine needed to get working.

Ahh too scared to start unscrewing things. I'm a chicken lol.

There's no need to start unscrewing things (yet). The reason you switch your system from hot to cold or cold to hot is so that you see where the motor is located and the cables you need to shake is in that area. It's so stupid how a little shake can fix something you use so much.

in the passenger foot well is the Temp actuator. that doesnt control the vent position. in the same spot but on the drivers foot well is the "Mode Door Actuator" this is what controls the vent position. either its a loose wire, or it is faulty and needs replacing. read up on the removal and replacement of it in the workshop manual. I replaced mine with a brand new OEM from nissan for $189. wreckers would be cheaper but then again, anything from a wrecker is just as old as what you have and could last a few days...
