Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Audio New head unit, now I have no vents

Hey everyone, I recently installed a new system into my 95 SE. Heres the list

Pioneer DEH-P5200 CD Deck
Pioneer TS6865 6x8s in the Doors
Pioneer 4 channel Amp
Rockford Fosgate punch 10, in a sealed box.

Sounds Wonderful!! The problem is when I have the heat on, and I select vent, nothing comes out. It goes to the floor and defrost. The head unit should fit fine according to crutchfields database. Any suggestions? Let me know, thanks

The HVAC selector is vacuum controlled. Sounds like you might have snagged a vacuum tube and pulled it from the connector when you slid the head unit in. Should be an easy fix.

I did the same thing when installing mine. I was able to reach around the drivers side and fix it without having to take out the unit out completly.

Can you give me more detail on how to do this or what to look for. Is this just a small hose or some thing. I'd appreciate it. Thanks

Theres a small cylinder back and to the left of the HU. There are 2 hoses connected to it. I believe the one on the right hand side controls the vents and is easy to reconnect. Try sliding out your HU half way and reach behind. If that is too hard (i have tiny hands). Take the entire HU and go through the opening. Once you take a look you should exactly what I'm talking about and which hose has come out. I hope this helps.
