Q: My AC will not blow air.

asked by on February 08, 2017

My AC will not blow air through the vents, I can't hear the motor working either. The Climate control display does turn on and does display that the AC is on but it's just the air not flowing out of the vents. I replaced my AC system last summer, so it hasn't been that long since I've gotten it looked at. I tried running a diagnostic code with climate control by pressing auto and off buttons and the only thing I get is one under dash. I don't know if it is the blow motor or if it is the blow motor resistor or something else.

My car has 200400 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
