The vacuum element for the floor vents must PULL the floor vent door open.

MOST of the time the problem is the door itself, they break.

IF they are broken replacements are available BUT a total pain to install.

You could use a wooden dow rod to PUSH the door open.


IF the front doesn't get heat then neither will the rear.
