Mechanical Problems & Technical Chat - civic hx 1996...heater/AC problem

hi everyone
New here. couldn't find a solution for my problem...i thought ask you guys.
I've 1996 civic hx 187XXX miles. I had to jump the car 2 weeks ago cause the battery was dead. After i started the car....the heater/AC stoped blowing the Air from the front middle panel....the air is coming out from the left and right hand side little panel, and also from the feet area.
its just not coming out from the front middle panel. I've checked all the fuses....all r good
Any Idea....What could possibily wrong:confused:

Thank you guys

Does the mode control motor operate at all? For example, does it switch properly to defrost or other modes?

you know what ive foumnd out...that is working with the windshield defrost mode:confused:...not with its actual mode.

Sounds like the mode control motor is not working. Here's how to check:

I too had to jump my 96 civic (battery died). New battery installed and now like the guy said, my mode control has been reversed. The motor is fine, it steps thru all five positions as the buttons are pushed, it just is backwards now. If I want defrost air, I push upper vent. If I want upper vent, I push defrost. The floor vent is correct, being in the center, but on both sides the positions are reversed, i.e. the motor goes the wrong way. How can I reset or is the motor hosed from the jumpstart. I don't know if the good samaritan hooked the cables up backward momentarily or not, I was just grateful he had cables and the kindness to help me out. Anyway, I can live with this, I just have to remember if I want the function of the rightmost button, I push the leftmost button. If I want the function of the second button on the left, I push the second button on the right. At least the center button is correct with the vent door position.

Strange problem!! I would try to disconnect the battery for a minute or two to see if that will clear the problem.

I highly doubt that he reverse the polarity from the jumpstart. You would have a bigger problem than the one you have now.
