Hi,
I've regularly visted this site, but not posted as had little to really contribute, I've recently bought a 97 Prelude 2.2 Vti - great car,
however its got a couple of problems:
1) The passenger electric window won't work, dosent seem to be internal fuse - any idea's?
2) The ventilation system won't switch modes, the air will come out the footwell and side vents but not the central vents???
Any ideas for possible solutions?
Thanks in advance for any help.

the window problem may be simple;make sure you have the rocker switch on the drivers door switch pack to "on".This isolates the use of the n/s window.The heating/vent fault may be a fault with the electric servo motor that controls distribution flaps on the heater box.

When you say the window wont work, do you mean that you can't even hear the motor whirring?
Is it actually connected (remove door card to see)?
Ditto the vent. system. Can you hear the motor trying to do something, or just hear nothing when you push buttons?

Hi,
First of all thanks to elekie&a/c doctor for an immediate correct diagnosis to the window problem - Still can't belive I overlooked this, but in my defence the previous owner said the window had failed about 2 months ago and he was waiting for the next service to fix it?!
Sprice - The ventilation system is working but seems to be stuck in one mode were the central vents won't work - Any idea's for either resetting the system or alternatively a tempory non techincal work around to manually redistribute the air flow?
Thanks again for your help

Maybe the actual trunking that directs the airflow to the relevent vent (central in your case) is missing?

Hi Again,
Just a quick note to say that alls well with the Prelude now.
Thanks for the idea Sprice, I managed to nudge the trunking for the central vents and it seems to have sorted the problem, so was probably just to do with a lack air pressure getting to them and nothing at all with the electrics!
Cheers
DC
