Weak Airflow From Vents

The AC or heat is on but very little air comes out of the vents, even on high fan. Usually a blockage or a failing blower, not the cooling system.

Frequently asked questions

What's the easiest thing to check first?

A clogged cabin air filter is the most common and cheapest cause — replacing it often restores airflow immediately.

Why is airflow weak only on low settings?

If only some fan speeds work, the blower resistor or speed module is usually the culprit.
