My 1997 180sx has this issue where hot air comes from the foot vents when the digital climate control is off. It also only seems to happen when I have my windows down. I believe this is because having the windows down is creating suction which ends up pulling air through those floor vents. So in order to fix this I thought turning on the recirculation button would stop air from getting sucked through, however it doesn't. My guess is that the vent isn't opening and closing, so I want to manually close it. Where is this vent located? Has anyone else experienced this and was able to fix it?

I have searched but it seems no one has had my exact issue. Usually turning on recirulation fixes it for them.

Thanks.
