  • Air Flow from A/C vents

    How much force does the blower motor put out? All 3 speeds work and when on high and I put my hand in front of the center vents I can't feel any flow after about 1.5 feet. The left and right vents have 1/2 that flow if not less. I may take a look in the ducts to see if something had made a home in them, since it was sitting behind a chicken coop for a year before I got it.

    The center vents only work when the heat/defrost lever is set to the far left closest to the steering wheel. The system is not designed to throw heat out of those vents, only fresh or airconditioned air. If the lever is in the right spot and you have reduced flow then my guess is that a duct has come loose or there's something blocking them.

      Since it was 85* today, I wasn't using the heat.
