Rear ventilation switch

[Markt63]

This is probably a pretty simple question but I haven't been able to figure it out from the manual or any other web sources... How do you remove the rear ventilation control switch from the center console? Do you have to remove the console, or should it just pop out? Have a loud hissing noise when in the "open" position so either the hoses are switched or I have a vac leak (had a ton of those with the old cracked hoses already...). THANKS!

Take off the console side cover on the passenger side and you should have access. Maybe just trim old ends of hoses and reattach. There is also I think on that line an in-line adjust valve for air flow to adj speed of vent opening, could be leaking there also. Usually trimming the hose ends gets rid of the cracks.

I've always found that valve on the driver's side...

Quick update and a new question. Turns out six screws hold down the center console top that holds the power window switches, door lock switch and rear vent switch. Have to remove the radio dials and face plate first. Got to the switches and found out someone has already tried to "fix" it. I got the door locks working but only seem to have one supply line to the switches. Should the supply line have a T in it and supply both the lock and rear vent switches? Or are these two separate systems with their own supplies and I need to find the other supply someplace? None of the drawings show both of these systems together so not sure of the plumbing.
