Mini Vent
Hey boys im sorry if this is in the wrong area I was wondering I have a what looks like a mini vent lol on the dash but no air comes out of it does anyone know what it is the ranger is 2008 sport 4x4
any help would be apprisated |
You talking about a defroster vent?
|
since the dash in the explorers and the rangers are the same that is the hole that on the explorer it pulls in air for the automatic temperature control.
|
its a tiny little vent hole on the dash beside the passenger air bag
|
I have no automatic temperature control on my ranger its all manuel

it also hides a bolt that has to be removed to get the dash out.
|
my truck doesnt have it
|
Could be the air bag vent also.
|
if it's the one between the radio bezel and airbag like the one here:

I have never had to take that out to remove a ranger dash. i've removed several over the past 5 years or so.

odd his 08 has it, my 07 doesnt, and your 08 doesnt lol. |
my 08 doesn't have that. i thought he was referring to the ones at the end of the dash near the side windows. i'm guessing those are for defrosting the door windows.

my 08 doesnt have it either, i always thought that the vents were in the older rangers?
|
my 99 has it they just pop out with a screwdriver... but idk if u need to take it out to take out the dash
|
always wondered this but never remembered to ask.
|
can one of you 07-08 guys posts a pic? i would love to see one without it.
|
I have an 04... mine has it too. I figure it lets my radio breath, and we all know how important that is, lol.
|
|
both of my 04's have it.
|
i wonder why they would have made such a minor change like that? i guess the explorer no longer shares anything with the ranger, but hasn't for years.
|
Thats how ford redesigns the ranger with small changes like the airbag for example
|
at first i was like wtf!? at the radio in the 09. then i realized it's a xl and probably just has am/fm.
