Air around the door seals

[bhardy5005]

I've posted about this before and if it's on another thread please let me know. My 2019 Big Horn hasn't alway been this way but now whenever I'm running the ac or heat and pulling in outside air, I hear air around the door seals. I'm not sure if it's air escaping or coming in. The pressure in my ears change as well when I shift between recirculate or fresh air so I feel like there should be a vent inside the cab that releases air once I pull in outside air to equalize the pressure. When running in "air recirculation" mode, everything is fine. I can put my fingertips against the door seals at the top and when I switch to "outside air", the doors actually push out just a little. I've had others in my truck and all four doors do the same thing. Any help would be appreciated.

If you search the threads, I believe there is a known issue with the air recirc. I just noticed the same thing this week, except the air noise sounds like it's coming from the passenger side near the windshield.

Their is a vent inside the cab behind the back seat . Maybe something is blocking it ?

In addition to checking under the backseat, also check between the bed and cab to make sure the vents aren't blocked with leaves or something

I did check that vent and didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

Thanks for the response. I'll try to find it.

It's clear on the outside as well.

To verify the vents can open, look between the cab and bed while closing the rear door quickly (make sure all windows are up). If the vents aren't blocked you'll see and hear the vents flap open. More invasive would be to pull the rear seat and trim, then you'll have direct access.

I'll do that. I would think that if these vents are operating properly, I shouldn't be having the issue I'm having now.
