Surf De-Mister problems
Hi guys im new to this forum and was hoping for some help. I found this prob only a few days ago and only because of the cold weather, When i press the button for the air to blast onto the windscreen nothin comes out. I have heard some people say there is a common problem with some cable that kinks stopping a flap moving, but i cant see any cable. On the side of my heater i can see a platic linkage attached to a servo, Then that linkage attaches to another platic linkage that sits in a kind of bananna shaped track. The servo moves this link when all the other buttons are pressed. So anyone else had this problem ?
BTW mines a 92' SSR-X Surf if that helps at all.
Cheers Matt.

Yea i hear the air blowing and when i press the other buttons like to get the air to blow into the footwell, you feel it but it dosnt seem very powerfull down there. Seems as if its changing to the different settings just not properly, but when you press to hit the windscreen nothing comes out those vents, it just stays coming out the front vents.

I would have to say there is a problem with the cable or linkage going to the vent mode door. My advice is to look up under the dash, while attempting to move the selector, and find the cable. Make sure it is moving fully in both directions.

I have seen this problem before. It was the clamp that holds the cable. The cable came out of the clamp and would only partially work. Get under the dash on the passenger side and work the selector knob. Once you find the cable follow it to where it clamps onto the dash. See if it came loose, if so connect it back up. If it's not that I'm not sure what it is.

Do you have some sort of Automatic Air Conditioning? Im not familiar with the Surf model. If you have an electronic (Push Button Type) Heater Control Panel Assembly, then you wont have cables.

In that case it might be vacuum driven. Listen under the dash for a hissing noise. there might be a leak in a line causing it to loose pressure thus not allowing the vent to close all the way or change modes. If you find a leak try replacing the hose or sealing it somehow.
Just a thought.
