How is the airflow when changing fan speeds with the accordion ductwork removed as I suggested? This ductwork connects the air flow from the center console to your driver side vent.

I would remove the cabin air filter to see if that's the cause if you didn't have this issue before.

I removed the ductwork, and did not feel any air coming out of the center console opening, no matter what speed or vent selection. I also did not feel any air coming out of the windshield vents either.


Thanks for your assistance!

I tried to post a response, not sure where it went.

But I pulled the ductwork you mentioned, and there was no change in the lack of airflow. The motor still increased as i went from low to high, but there was no change.

Any other thoughts?

Problem Update with link to video

I have checked both fuses (D6) and Relay #18, and both seem to be working as intended.

I shot a video to better demonstrate the issue, and since I wasn’t sure if I could post it here, Here’s a link.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

(FYI, I pm’d one of the moderators, as my posts seem to require approval, im just trying to get help.)

Thanks again
