    Hi
    I have a strange problem with the air circulation in my 2010 prius.
    The vents are stuck in one position.
    When I try to go to different mode (windshield, floor, etc) it doesn't do anything.
    This happened when I was alternating between windshield and other modes to get small parts of glass from the vents (car had a windshield damage due to a "meeting" with a deer).
    Anyway, I don't know what could be wrong.
    Is there a motor that overheated (due to constant switching of modes)?
    Is there a piece of glass blocking the system from switching?
    I'd appreciate any feedback.
    Thanks

    Is A/C display working (can you read vent modes)? Can you hear vent? If not, check the fuse blocks.
