Maybe try re-applying some more grease on it and working it a bit.

Vent mode selector knob not moving
Great post and video

My 2003 Lancer "vent mode selector knob" is impossible to turn and not moving. Does anyone else have this problem and
is there a simple fix or does it require a complete rebuild?
