I own a 300TE. The automatic A/C control does not seem to be sucking air through the overhead console inlet.

I did the usual test, put a piece of tissue paper to see if it was sucked up. The tissue paper fell down.

I then opened up the glove compartment to check the aspirator fan. The aspirator fan is working well. It has suction.

I checked the rubber hoses in the glove compartment area and they are all in good shape and the fit is tight.

So, why is there no suction at the overhead console inlet?

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
