Default Rx300 rear vents

Hi, recently purchased a 2003 RX. All heating and AC functions work as they should in the driver/passenger area. The rear passenger vents (yes they are in the open position) do not blow any air. Any ideas? Thanks.

They have a common blower. To test .. change the Mode to face level vent and set the fan to lowest speed. Open back seat vents and close the front by flipping the adjustment at each vent to close. Now slowly turn up the fan speed and see if the volume of air changes at the back.

The air flow in the back seats is not the best in RX. One has to wait for the cabin to react the desired temperature.

I wanted to ask you a separate question, can you please take a look at my recent posting on the “maintenance sect forum here” I have a post titled “2000 Rx300 timing belt job/ wont start”
me and Nad have been trying to solve it for 3 days now, and I would appreciate your insight bc you seem knowledgeable on these motors-“

I've never noticed that forum. I only use this one for 1st gen RX300 issues.
