Q: Air conditioner works but not fan

asked by on February 05, 2016

The air conditioner works, but the fan does not. I can feel the cold air very little, but when I turn the switch on any position, the fan does not operate. The air conditioner works under the hood, but the fan that blows into the car does not.
