Blower Motor
The blower motor pushes air through your vents, whether you're using the A/C or the heater. When it fails you get little or no airflow even if the system is working, and your mechanic will test it and replace it if needed.

Frequently asked questions
What does a bad blower motor feel like?
Usually weak or no airflow from the vents, or the fan only working on certain speeds. Sometimes you'll hear a whirring or rattling noise.
Does the blower motor affect both A/C and heat?
Yes. It moves the air for both cooling and heating, so a failed blower motor means weak airflow no matter the setting.
How long does a blower motor replacement take?
It often takes one to two hours depending on where the motor is located in your vehicle. Your mechanic can give you a precise estimate.
