The front air vents in my 2004 trailblazer quit working after I installed a new battery. My front air vents will no longer work. After researching this on the internet it appears that this is a common problem with the chevy trailblazer. It will require the purchase and installation of a new control module to regulate the air flow so the vents will work. This is a component/design problem that GM needs to fix not the consumer.
