Your vent controller is not working. Is the air coming out the defrost vents? If yes, this is the default when there is no vacuum to the switch. In this case, check the small plastic vacuum line that is connected to the engine intake manifold and going into the firewall. Make sure this line is connected to the manifold and the hose is not cracked. If this is good, go inside the car and see if you can trace that line to the control switch. If the line is good to the switch, see if you can pull the vacuum connector from the switch for troubleshooting. with the engine on, check for vacuum on the line from the engine with your finger. If the vacuum is there, your switch is probably leaking and needs to be replace. Any other questions, please reply.

Air only blows out defrost vents VERY LITTLE
There is a cabin air filter in the unit. The filter is behind the glove box. It slides out.

Heat makes a screaming sound - only comes on when on high, air does not come on at all - A little advice and help needed. THANKS
The screaming sound is the blower motor bearing. the fan speed switch controls the grounding side of fan motor once on high it grounds the high speed fan relay. so lower speeds goes through blower motor resistor. this may be burnt out do to bearing is screaming tight to shaft creating a larger ampere draw that burnt it out.

Blower Motor or Resistor or Switch???
Remove the trim panel from under the passenger side of the dash. You should be able to see the lower motor and the connector. With the key on and the switch set to high wiggle the connector. If the blower motor starts to run faster and/or act abnormal when you wiggle the connector, replace the blower motor. This is a fairly common symptom and problem with these year full size gm's. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com! I have a tip on how to diagnose blower motors that don't work. It doesn't really apply to this situation but it may help you in the future. http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6571076-blower_motor_not_work

2000 jeep grand cherokee, only blow out a little air even when the blower on hi,,you have to put your hand next to the vent to feel the air
you may have had something fall down into the defrost vent and it has worked its way down and is blocking the air flow thats trying to come out the vents,near the blower motor.also does it sound like the blower motor is spinning on high speed or at a lower speed,you could have a slow turning blower motor.

Replaced blower motor and resistor on my 1998 oldsmobilehardly no
If the blower motor is capable of working on all the speeds but you only get wisp of air out of the vents then the fan side of the evaporator core for the a/c may be coated with crud and debris which is restricting most of the air that the blower is moving. Usually this problem comes on fairly slowly until one day it is realized that hardly any air is coming out of any of the vents even with the blower on high speed. The blower may even sound like it is working harder than it should to create this little bit of airflow. The fix for this is to remove the blower motor and look into the plastic air plenum with a mirror or flexible borescope and check the a/c evaporator for a thin coating of gray crud. If it's present then I use compressed air and a long blow nozzle [bent to get close to the core] and blow the crud loose. You may not get it all but usually you can blow out enough of it to get back 90% of your airflow. If however your blower doesn't work on every speed then you may have other electrical issues that are preventing the blower from reaching full speed.

Aircondition fan motor changed running ok but little air through vents
Does it still sound like its on high? If so you could have your vents blocked/restricted or your blower is not blowing on high speed. Usually a blower resistor if not blowing at max or not blowing at all speeds

Blower works on all speeds but minimal air comes out
youve got a bad blower motor resister. buy a haynes manual and the resistor and have a windy day again.
