EA82T, RX, stupid buttons for the defrost, heater and blower wont work. The OFF works, but then i cant get anything to work. When i got into the car this morning and turned the blower fan on, it works but blows through the vent as if the A/C button is pressed. The Defroster is pressed, but no matter what I do i cannot get air to come out of the defroster. Sucks cause I gotta drive over the pass tonight and I cant really see through foggy windows.

 

Is there a way to manually force air to go through the defroster?

check your lines, those different functions are vacume controlled

 

yep, check the vacuum line from the intake manifold to the vacuum canister on the rear pass. side of the engine compartment.

your lucky All I have in mine is Cold/Hot No warm.. and Floor only no defrost or nothing.

Why would you need defrost in California?

:D

if it's not the vacuum canister then it might be the vacuum valve behind the glove box... I spent a lot of time on my vent-only issue, changing out the vacuum lines, canister, and dash control unit... only to find out that the defrost part was controlled by a vacuum valve behind the glove box... then while scavenging the junk yard for a new one I found that it only seemed to be on turbo models... *shrug*

 

after I replaced that my defrost worked great...
