    I've been having trouble with the AC in my 2010 Prius. The mode setting on the control panel doesn't correspond with the air coming out of the vents. The setting with the air coming out of the top vents, is actually the setting after, with air coming out of top and bottom vents. I can't seem to get air to come out of the center vents with sufficient pressure, no matter what setting it's on.

    I took it to a mechanic and he said the diagnostic tool read to replace the air outlet damper control servomotor. Ironically after taking it to the mechanic, the air works fine through the top vents.

    Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem is or where I can buy a replacement motor?
