03 Jeep, Blend door have been replaced last year and work fine, blower motor resistor just replaced and now works fine, but now there is very little air flow form any of the vents, is there another co

Every thing sounds and seems fine , the blower will go from low to high speed but even at high speed it seems like afetr the resistor change I have only 40-50% air flow from any vents, floor or defrost.

Does your model have a cabin air filter ?
Is it possible the blower is not running on the right circuit in the resistor ?

SOURCE: 1998 Mustang - AC blows only through Defrost vents

You probably have a vacuum leak on the passenger side. its a small plastic hose some times they come unpluged from the engine. or brake.

SOURCE: No air flow from defrost vent on my van.

Could be a vaccum line leaking not changing the vent flap to defrost

SOURCE: Blower motor vent selection switch not working

the hvac selector switch in the dash may be the problem.You need to remove the switch and look at the connector on the back of switch,see if there are any burnt wires at the connector or switch.It's all electronic and the switches have been known to burn out on this and other model.

SOURCE: blower works on all speeds but minimal air comes out

you have the blower motor and blower motor resitor that controls the speed of the blower motor and it is good to replace them as a pair. sounds like your resistor is going south

Why would my blower, vent, defrost, ac and heater just quit blowing air?

There are several possible reasons why your blower, vent, defrost, AC, and heater might stop blowing air:

1. Blower Motor Failure: The blower motor is responsible for blowing the air through the vents. If the blower motor fails, you will not get any airflow from the vents.
2. Blower Motor Resistor Failure: The blower motor resistor controls the speed of the blower motor. If the resistor fails, the blower motor may stop working or only work at one speed.
3. Fuse or Relay Failure: A blown fuse or faulty relay in the blower motor circuit can prevent the blower motor from working.
4. Control Module Failure: The HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) control module is responsible for controlling the blower motor and other components. If the control module fails, it can prevent the blower motor from working.
5. Vacuum Leak: If your vehicle uses a vacuum system to control the vents, a vacuum leak can prevent the system from working properly.
6. Broken Blend Door: The blend door controls the direction of the airflow. If the blend door breaks or gets stuck, the air may not flow through the correct vents.
7. Wiring or Connector Issues: Faulty wiring or connectors in the blower motor circuit can prevent the blower motor from working.

Blower fan not working

The resistor bank is bad for slow speeds, the switch is bad for high speed. In your test, you have voltage, but the switch wont carry the amps, to run high speed. Open circuits will not blow fuses. Replace both switch and resistor bank for all speeds. Make sure to clean leaves and trash from fan housing and see if fan spins freely.

How to fix the air conditioning

Hi there:
First I suggest to check is to be sure that the blower motor has power to it, it should have power directly to the blower motor. The ground is controlled by the resistor and the a/c switch assembly, if there's no power, then you need to check all the fuses. If there is power, then you can ground the black wire from the blower motor directly to a good ground and see if the blower works at high speed, if it doesn't operate, then the blower motor is bad and needs to be replaced, if it does, then you need to chase the ground wire through the resistor and to the switch.


You may still find the resistor blown, if so, replace it, be sure to replace the motor also, many times, a motor that is drawing too much current will cause a resistor to fail. If the resistor is ok then either the switch is bad or the ground is bad, you may have to manually follow the wires to find the ground point.

I have a 2000 jeep wrangler sahara. The heater fan switch turns the fan on only when turned to the highest position. Speed 1,2,3 do not work. Also the mode change does not work when turned all the way to...

thats is two different problems. the blower motor resistor is bad causing it not to work on the lower setting just high. now on the defrost not working could be the blend door actuator but to figure it out you will need to be diagnosed by a professional. it is a little more involved. but the blower resistor is fairly easy

let me know if you have any ore question

1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee the heat is not working or blowing?

2 problems?
No blower motor: Blower motor resistor very common or motor itself or heater controls.
No heat: Start simple with check antifreeze level after vehicle has sat for a few hours. If that's OK then it could be thermostat, heater controls, blend doors, water pump, restriction in cooling system

1999 town car blower motor resistor.....maybe?

The Blower Motor Resistor is a common problem in your car but not for the problem you describe. When the Heat/AC won't blow on all speeds, the blower motor resistor is at fault. When air won't blow out of vents, bi-level, or floor the problem is the blend door actuator. This is vacuum driven and diverts the air to where you select. When air will only blow from one place (usually the defrost) then the blend door actuator is the problem. This can sometimes be corrected if there's a vacuum leak (usually under the hood in front of the passenger you'll find the vacuum line and can trace it backward to find a leak). If no leak can be found, the blend door actuator itself is defective and needs replacement.

My blower motor only works on high speed its a 2005 jeep liberty it worked fine last night when i got home i started it early this morning and it would only work on 4

Your blower motor resistor has gone bad. Everytime these go out (definitely happens a lot on Jeep) you will lose every speed except for the highest one. Replace your resistor and you will be back to new. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks for using FixYa!

Heater/ a/c blower

There is a 30 amp fuse for the blower. The blower motor resistor could be bad.
