asked by on September 12, 2016

Very little air is coming through air vent, even thought it's turn up all the way.

Hello, thanks for writing in. Either your blower motor is bad or the blower resistor is bad. You should also check the cabin air filter to make sure it is not clogged. If you would like to have this done, a certified technician from YourMechanic can inspect your AC system and follow through with the correct repairs.
