126 Rear A/C Vent Inop
1985 380SE - this is the rear vent behind the center console (under the armrest) that blows at the rear seat passengers. I can't get any air to blow out of mine. I think it would really help circulate A/C through the passenger compartment if it was working.
I've done a search but the info is vague. It appears the vent lever *might* control some sort of A/C flap behind the radio that controls airflow to the vent. How do I trace this cable, and where is the flap that it controls? Can I just wedge the flap open so the rear passengers get A/C? Also, some posts seem to indicate that the vent only blows heated air. Other posts say fresh (vent) air only. I need A/C air to blow out of there. Is this possible? TIA!!!

Heated air comes from under the front seats. You should only get cool air or outside air from the center vent.
Are you sure the lever controls a cable? Maybe it controls a flap right behind the vent. Sixto

Lever controls a cable that runs up to a flap right below the radio. Remove ashray, shifter wood, coin tray and you can see it. Cable typically becomes unclipped at this front flap.

Thanks - I will check it out tomorrow after work. Do you know if the flap provides "vent" air or is it "A/C" air?

If the compressor is on it provides chilled air. If not, it provides outside air. IIRC it will not provide heated air. Mark
