Hello,

when i turn on my air, doesnt matter if it is AC or Heat, it makes the sound like it is blowing air, but nothing comes out of ANY of the front vents - only the back seat vent (on the center console) would anyone know what could cause this? could there be a blockage in my vents somewhere and how would i check that?

It was 93 today and only gonna get hotter - please help puzzled

what is the temperature of the air out of the rear vents?

How long have you had the car, and of that time how long has it done this?

Have you checked the fuses yet?

have not checked the fuses - it makes the noise like there should be air coming out the fronts - the air from the back vent is hot but i think it just needs to be recharged - i have had my car since 2005, engine died in 11/2006 and i just got it running earlier this month - it started not blowing air about 2 months or so before the engine died.

Sounds like it could be a blend door actuator motor. What happens when you manually change the airflow position on the climate control?

could be a linkage then. You'll have to look under the dash to see. Most of the works is above the passenger's feet.
