2008 explorer with manual climate controls. I started hearing a hissing sound coming from what sounds like behind the far right climate control knob that controls what vents the air comes out of. When I turn the knob to the floor position, the air comes out of the defrost vents and I still hear the hissing sound. However when i turn the knob to the dash vents or defrost vents, the hiss sound goes away and air comes out of the correct vents.
Are there vacuum lines that are connected to the rear of the climate control knobs that would be causing this? Or is it the vacuum components behind the glove compartment or the actual climate control knob mechanism broken?
I plan on trying to fix it this weekend. Is there an easy way to remove the trim around the climate control/radio? I have not removed it and don't want to break it!
