Drivers side air vent does not appear to work , passenger side works fine . I've checked under the dash & everythings connected .Does anyone know how the hose connects to the heater system.

Mine don’t blow any air either nor did my last Chim ! Tbf I never investigated why but without looking must only be the tube not attached at either end or split ! Be interesting to know where To find blower ?

On my 95 model there is a big 3 inch pipe running from the passenger side to the drivers side left knee, the blower motor is located in the left side wing area, the drivers side also should have a separate vent on the right knee

I have a 95 , they did an option for a cold fan for the right hand vent, mine has a fan switch under the dash that is the same as the one on the dash facia ..it is below the vent similar location to the dash light switch but on the right hand side of the column .. it only sends out cold air and the passenger side vent does the hot/less hot air ..

I’m talking about this vent facing you right side mine does not blow any air ? Now there’s talk of a vent with separate switch ? Confused ? I’ve only owned two and don’t know anything about it ? Lol....

I've only had one chimaera, and owned it for 20 of the 25 yrs since it was built .. and it's been there the whole time .. The cold air vent was an option when new ... I only have 2 air vents.. one each end of the dash .. no central vents .. I've never understood why they did it but TVR did many things that were difficult to understand .. biggrin

Fitted many of those second fans into the drivers side footwell at the dealers .. bit of a pain working in that area. Was a way of getting some extra cold air to the driver .. there was a feed to the right hand dash vent, and also an eyeball vent in the right hand kick panel.

My drivers side dash vent has a tube which goes.. nowhere.. just ends a few inches under the dash and doesn't connect to anything at all. Can't even see where it might link up to the blower or exit out of sidewall to get fresh cool air as no gaps for it to go through.. Weird. I have a round vent on central tunnel drivers footwell , the 2 central lower dash vents and passenger side vent and footwell vent. All of them work fine and blow hot or cool air depending on control.
