Cabin air flow direction not working???

[Djhouse]

Help I'm not able to change the direction of air in the cabin, it's blowing in the foot well but even though the direction knob works the direction won't change, it's a nightmare as winter in the uk means can't heat the windscreen any ideas???

You'll need to remove the fascia and check the connection to the knob.

Here are some ideas from the UK Ford Transit Forum web site......

if you take off the heater direction blower knob you can put it direct on the side of the heater box and turn the direction from there, set it to what you want then replace the knob back in the dash, this will only work if its the cables that are at fault mine has a problem with the heater box the flaps dont move even whe all is disconnected

on the side of the heater box (drivers foot well ) you will see 2 blocks a white one and a black one each has 2 cables on it the white one is the one that moves the air direction the black one does the hot - cold setting. The air direction knob can be removed from the dash and placed direct on the heater box, is this dont work remove the white plastic block with the 2 cables going to it its held on with 3 clips now place the know on the side of the heater box and try to move again if that dont work you will have to unscrew the plate on the side of the heater box and find out which of the 2 levers is stuck
hope this helps
