Started my car tonight after jumping it since battery went dead while sitting. It idled a good long time. It's getting very chilly here at night now & I wanted to defrost the windshield. Hit defrost button & plenty of hot air blowing from door vents, no air at all at base of windshield. I cycled thru the various air ducting settings & it blows, but not from base of windshield on any settings. Any ideas where to start & please tell me this doesn't involve removing the dashboard. I spent almost all day ripping out headliner & moonroof on my Subaru to replace defective caulk that lets lots of water in. I'm beat.

I am guessing you will get a mode control motor error and one other. I beleive you are due for a CCU repair.

I will run it tmrw. It's cold & dark here now. Do I need to warm the car up 1st, or just do it? Am I paying more attention to the second procedure or the 1st one?
Is the motor likely to be bad & circuit board is bad or motor ok but not getting signal due to circuit board acting up? If it is the motor, is it accessible to human hands or will I be ripping stuff apart again? Is the motor repairable? (good cleaning or replace a broken contact or something?) I'm really getting sick of cars. Have to wait for it to rain this wknd (3 more days of rain, ca-ca!) :frown: to see if I got the Subaru leak fixed or not. Thank you for helping.

You don't even need to run the car just turn the ignition to the on position it's most likely its the control board the motors seldom fail.
