Default Sedona windshield fogging problem , dashboard removal help.

I have a nasty windshield fogging problem on my 2002 Sedona and I noticed that when I set the fans on windshield there is barely any air coming from the ventilation slots , even at full blast, which prompted me to think that there might be a problem with the ducting for those air nozzles. There is some air on the right
I wonder what would be the easiest way to gain access to the front ventilation ducting without disassembling the whole vehicle .

Any diagram of the ventilation circuit and for the dashboard removal ?

Please help.

before you remove anything check if you have the same flow. I mean check if there is the same issue when you change flow direction.
Another thing - do you hear speed change of the blower?

First, I would inspect blower compartment - probably under or nearby glove compartment.
Could you have cabin filter?

I will say that its almost impossible to have clogged air ducts. I suspect either the blower or heater/AC core clogged.

Check location of all of them using link from my signature (KIA tech info).

BTW - where do you live? Add details to your profile.

Thank you for your reply.

When I switch to cabin vents, up+down, there is a good amount of air coming through the vents , not as much as my other cars I ever owned but enough.

I can hear/feel/ the change in speeds on the blower and regrading the cabin filter I don't think It has one as I have the LX model not the "luxury" package.

I signed up for the website in your sig but could not find any diagram for the ventilation system, can you help me locate one ?
