No hot air from front vents

[Fred Johnson]

Hi

 

Got my first Alphard (2008 G 2.4) yesterday and love it. However, on the drive home the front vents stopped blowing hot air. While it's not freezing cold, it made it a chilly drive home. The rear vents still produced lovely warm air.

 

It may have started when I pushed the 'REAR' button, which did get stuck in when I pushed it. I was able to 'unpush' it by digging it out with my nail. But this may also be unrelated...


Any tips on what could have gone wrong to stop the warm air out of the front vents?

 

TIA

Hello Fred,

 

This topic is already covered in this Forum.

 

I respectfully suggest you search the Forum.

 

Just to start you off, could be an airlock, thermostat or a flap value actuator.

or may be a silly question have you pressed mode button whilst heating on to select front
