Why is air still blowing through the vents ?

I guess I should feel lucky that my blower isnt making any noise ... and I am going to RTFM tonight .. but Im wondering why I still get air blowing from the vents when "everything" is off.

Tks !!

 

Every car does. It's not a completely sealed system.

 

My tacoma does blow harder than any other car I've ever had...

 

yeah turn on recirculation, that should stop the air when the blower motor is off. I think that's right unless my brain cells aren't working

 

Most vehicles are like that for the future when your ac breaks you can still turn it to heat and itll passivly blow the geat in for you. And defrost your windsheild. Kinda like a backup system

 

.. not sure about that one FTMFW ...

Yeah ... neither the a/c or the recirc light is on ... fans off ... a/c - heat swithc top dead center ..

 

Hummm ..loop back ??

 

Both tacomas I've had has this. My moms old civic had it. It's normal. When yo drive fast-ish, and turn off recirculation, it should allow some air to pass. If you really don't like fresh air, just recirculate it and it'll stop.

 

Turn on "Recirc." It will stop the flow of air.

 

Ok fellas tks.... never had this on any of my cars or trucks .. been many . I fact just checked it out on my galant. No blow.

.....will try all suggestions and Rftm. If I can't "turn it off" I'll chalk it up to a "feature"

 

Interesting.

Every single car I've ever driven has air blowing through the vents, when the system is off - only while moving.

 

My first car didn't have ac. For fresh air w/out opening the windows, there was a vent down in the footwell that you opened manually.

Yes I am old.

 

Hey, thanks for the 5 second tip. Did that on the way home today. Now when I turn AC off Max it stop recirculating. Nice!
