No in-dash A/C. No flow from dash vents regardless of how the flipper is set: up or down. I never could figure out what the flipper was for. I wonder if the passenger side vent has air? Need a passenger. Mrs Squirrel is out of town until tomorrow. In the meantime, what's my easy way to inspect the hose? WAIT A MINUTE . . . I'm no auto mechanic but I bet that you're not supposed to see wires and the open end of a disconnected hose when you shine a flashlight into the driver's side dash end vent. I can probably get to that through the fuse panel opening. -- Rocky J Squirrel 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Westrailia: (Ladybug Trailer company, San Juan Capistrano, Calif.)
