I recently purchased a 89 EA Falcon 3sp auto a neccesity considering I just disslocated my right arm (41 yo in a skateboarding accident) and am unable to drive my manual geared van.
Anyway I have a question with regards to the vent controll slider on the dash, the slider moves, but does not change to the different vents. It remains on the windscreen vent. Is their an easy way to fix this or do I have to pull half the dash out?
Please tell me there is an easy fix.
Cheers

The vents are controlled by vacumn operated solenoids (dont know the proper name) Can you hear any hissing nois from inside the dash at all? In the engine bay theres 3 thin pipes that come out of the fire wall on the passengerside of the vehicle. 2 black and one green. The green should go to the heater tap to operate it, and the 2 other blck ones should be hooked to ruber pipes which go to the manifold where they get the vacumn from.
