Q: Air and heat problem

asked by on June 09, 2016

My car died recently. So I swapped battery's. Afterward, I realized my heat and ac in the front won't blow hard. Even if I put it on the highest level it still won't blow hard. Is this a blower motor or a blower motor resister problem?
My car has an automatic transmission.
