AC Vent sometimes not opening

[lobsenza]

My genesis has an intermittant problem of the vent to the right of the driver sometimes is not opening when all other dash vents are open. The only fix I have found is to shut off the car and restart and the problem is temporarily fixed. Anyone else have this problem? What was the fix?

Mine does it too on occasion (my driver's vents usually try to roast me - hot air instead of cold). Most of the time I can cycle through the vent positions and it'll right itself. Restart is my last resort.

Could be the blend door or the climate control head unit. You need a Tech Tool to diagnose. If you still have warranty hit up the dealer. If not, take Skipgen's advice and cycle through the settings.

On a side note - I've lately been getting so many random electrical "hiccups", I wish I could reboot the whole car!

If you remove the battery connectors and let the car sit and discharge that'll do it.
But, NEVER cross the + ans - terminals. It'll likely blow out the electrical system. As for discharging, it'll wipe out settings and may render the power windows inoperable.
