Problem since new but now I am in cold climate. Seems like there is minimal air flow from vents even if I will set fan to max.. . Dealer does not believe. On the parking flow is present but during driving 70-80 just minimal. I hear the rumble of the fan but air does not come out. Temp setting may be set to 85 but temp inside the car is not above high 60's. I can only survive using heated seats.
View 2 RepliesJust started happening this weekend, I can hear air moving and it changes speeds, however I get no flow out of the vents.
I'm at 42k so I'm hoping it isn't a major issue, also tried searching but couldn't find a similar issue. I am pressed for time because I'm leaving for a 2500 mile round trip Wednesday.
I'll add a photo of the controls where I get zero air flow, minus some cold air.
Noticed this, do I have a flaw? When I turn the AC or heater fan off and I'm driving I have constant air flow coming out the vents, super annoying....
View 10 RepliesI have a 2003 Forester that has low air flow thru the vents if you try to use the AC or heater.
If you turn the speed from 1-4 you can hear the blower fan turning faster but the air coming out of the vents is very low. YOu can hardly feel it. I checked to see if there was a cabin filter and there was none.
Even though you can barely feel the air coming out, when on AC the air feels cold and when on heat it feels hot.
I took my Prius Two to its first car wash today, afterwards, the air flow from the vents became minimal, almost non-existent. How could this be? The car is barely two months old. Prior to the car wash, I had the AC and air blasting to the highest, I didn't change any fan settings, and now there's barely any air coming out. I can hear the fans churning and running, but there's no air!!! Do I take it to the dealer?
View 2 RepliesHave a 02 with climatronic. You put it on vent and it blows out the vent. You press floor and it goes ape and the fan goes to max and nothing comes out the vents and nothing comes out the floor. IF you put it on floor only there is flow like normal. You can not have it on floor and vent. I drove 2 other passats and they both allow floor and vent. Havent been able to check codes because car has been at dealer for a week.
View 8 RepliesI have a 2005 F250 with an intermittent AC problem. I had noticed over the past year that I only had high or low fan when adjusting my AC. Recently my AC has intermittently just not started blowing any air when I turn it on. When this occurs, I can put the fan on high and hear the clutch engage, however no air flow comes from the vents. I did some searching around and didn't find an answer. I was curious, where I might be best to start troubleshooting.

View 14 RepliesI have a 1996 Ford Aerostar 3L. The Air Vents in the cabin are not flowing any air, whether on cold/hot/vent/defrost etc. I can hear it click on but no air flow. I used to have the same problems as some previous posts where the air would only flow in the dash or in the floor but now no air at all. Fuses are all good.
View 5 RepliesI have a grand prix and am having problems with the air flow. I think that the diverter is stuck/broke as air flow blows through all vents (defroster, 4 dash vents and floor). When I turn the switch that tells where the air to blow out, nothing happens. In the summer, the A/C works but since it comes out the floor vent my toes get cold. Does this sound like the diverter is stuck? Is there a way I could make the diverter only come out the dash vents? The car has 180K miles and I don't want to invest much money to fix this (i.e. taking to dealer).
View 3 RepliesToday the flow rate of the air out of the vents on my Prius has noticeably dropped.
It makes no different which vents I select (front, feet, or windscreen).
The blower seems fine - it's still making its normal noise.
The air still blows out nice and cold, there just isn't much of it coming out, even on full blast.
I've pulled the cabin air filter and checked it's not clogged, so it seems like there must be a blockage downstream of the blower.
I have a 1997 Toyota Camry and recently the air flow from the heater has become stuck on the front vents. Regardless of what setting I turn the switch to (defrost, floor, etc.) it doesn't switch from the vents. It seemed to happen about the same time the thermostat died, which I had to replace (successfully I think).
I looked under the hood for a vacuum hose that might be disconnected (guessing) and under the dash for a wire that might have come loose or disconnected, but to no avail. I am guessing that some part on the heater has stopped working and needs replaced, but I haven't a clue as to which one...hopefully one that won't require pulling the dash off.
When the A/C is on in this car, the air flow is split between the defrost vents and the dash vents. I have read it may be a vacuum leak but don't know specifically where to look for it. Is there any way to manually redirect the air flow? Where to look for a vacuum leak? The air is cool but just misdirected.
View 11 RepliesYesterday the temp was at 97F and the air conditioning shut down (air flow remained constant except temp from all vents went tropical). The car was moving at 70mph on level ground in light traffic and not in a city. Stopped and ran a few 'reboot cycles' (turning ignition on and off in three minute intervals with the key out of range) with no luck. The next day the air worked OK - not great - but it was working and the problem returned after one hour of operation. Am I describing a refrigerant level problem or are the electron gods just angry at me for driving in a heat wave?
View 13 RepliesMy 02 Mountaineer doesn't have any air flow volume out of the heat, defrost, or a/c vents. The temp will change from hot to cold and the air direction will also change from floor, dash, windshield, etc. The a/c recirculation door also seems to be working. The fan sounds as it is running very fast, just not putting out any volume. What should I look for?
View 3 RepliesI can hear and see the blower motor running great. I just have very little air flow through the vents, defroster etc... is there a blower motor door between motor and vents. 2011 F750 xl superduty ....
View 2 RepliesOk, took the sub for a spin around the block yesterday. Turbo was singing a tune when I left. white smoke and minimal boost on the way back. It is spinning, just not boosting very well. Stuck? Electrical problem? any pointers, or easy stuff yo check, before pulling the pump?
View 10 RepliesOn the B-pillars (at least I think they are the B-pillars) there are air vents right about the height of the rear door window. I have never felt any air come out of them no matter what settings I choose I Heat/AC controls. 2004 V8 .....
View 10 RepliesMy friends and family think I'm crazy, since three weeks ago, we went out and bought an '11 CC Sport for my wife . . . but I digress.
I've got a 2004 V6 Touareg. Frankly, it's been doing very well for the last 30K miles (I'm at 93K right now) -- knock on wood. However, just today, I noticed and confirmed that there is NO air coming from the lower vents. I've got a two zone system and when I change the settings to force air to come just out of those vents nothing. You can feel air coming from both the windshield vent and dash vents -- and what I think is that I have a damper that's not moving anymore.
The whole reason I even tried to do this, is over the last couple of months, I've noticed two things coming from the dash -- one, a cricket sound (kinda like a bearing squeaking), and two, a light clicking sound that can best be described as a damper seeking a setting. It occurred to me a damper isn't working right.
While driving with a friend today he noticed no air coming out of the rear vents(the ones between the front and back door windows). We played around with all the controls and read the manual but nothing. Air was coming out the rear middle console.
Are these vents part of the four-zone option which I don't have or am I missing something
Snap, crackle and pop sound coming from the vents in the front and rear when the heat is on. It sounds like rice krispies with milk.
