Q: 2000 Ford Explorer. Check engine light is on. Issues with the heat. Replaced fan blower. Now no air coming out of vents or defrost

asked by on January 03, 2017

My blower fan started some mornings and some it did not. Replaced motor and working fine but no air flow from vents and defrost when on high. Still get plenty of air from the vents on back of console in back seat. Check engine light is on. Found the meter gave a reading on bank 2 for check eng light. Would vacuum lines have any thing to do with this?

My car has 216000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
