Help, no air out of vents!

We installed the auto up chip and now we can't figure out why there isn't any air coming out of the front vents!! I unplugged the air again, tried to rotate it, thinking that maybe it was in wrong and nothing. Anyone have a solution, or do I need to go into the garage?

Ok, where is that located...you have to excuse my noviceness of knowing about my car.
My husband doesn't think that is the problem, air comes out from up top (by the windshield) and in the footwells, but just not out of the front vents. Is that a fuse problem?

OK, try F31 30 amps Blower

and this is more tricky, its Fuse Panel #3 by the left strut tower. FL11 50 amps Heating & AC blower. BUT to get to it you need to remove, disconnect the battery negative terminal, the ECU module and airfilter housing and its on the BOTTOM I wouldnt bother.

An easier one to check is F07, top left of same fuse box, 30 amps, AC compressor.

Are you sure that they are in the open position?

Uninstall the auto up, and see if that fixes it.

If so, you'll know the cause, and finding a fix may be easier.

Yes, all the vents are open, that was the first thing I checked. Actually, I remember it happening before the auto up chip going home from the Dragon. It is strange, we have the auto A/C and there are selection buttons on the right for defroster, vents, and feet. The air, as of now, comes through the feet and defroster. If I select the feet, it stays the way it is. If I select defroster, it also stays the same. No matter which selection I choose, it stays the same. The buttons light up indicating activation, but no change. Checked all the fuses I could get to, but nothing.

Maybe you knocked a wire loose during install?

Don't mean to leave you with a cliff hanger, but if you still need help tomarrow I will give you instructions on how to re calibrate the flap motors.
