Dashboard vents

Didn't get a reply the first time so... thought I'd try again....



On my 1993 outback wagon - when I move the ventilation control from floor vents to bilevel, very little air comes out of the center dash vents. If I move the control from floor, past bilevel to dash only, and back to bilevel, significantly more air comes out of the center. Is this normal?


I have seen this in other vehicles. Seems there may be backlash in the control, or in the position of the damper.

I wouldn't say normal... it wouldn't bother me so I'd just ignore it. The missus on the other hand would probably complain about it enough for me to pull the cable out and reseat it (I'm sure that's all it needs) Did you by chance have an aftermarket stereo installed or have anyone in that part of the console doing any kind of maintenance? It's possible that they may have knocked something off when they were in there.
