Do your center vents work?

That area on my car gets warm from running the heat over a long period, but my center vents are completely dead.

Curious as to the answer to your question. I'm having problems with the blower on my 79sd. Replaced the amp but still having problems. There was evidence that the original amp was getting hot but I don't know if it was normal. When I get mine working I can shoot the amp with a non-contact thermometer to see what I get.
My intuition is that the amp generally runs warm.
