The AC/Heat direction flow (I call them flappers) are not working. I can feel the air/heat in the dash, but the air doesn't blow as hard on the driver's side as it is on the passenger side.
The switch was replaced w/o resolution. The dealer says they have to call the tech center.
This is going to be a dangerous situation once I need defrost this winter!

Front air is not blowing. It is cold at the vent but not blowing. Back works fine. Took to local mechanic and he says the flow door flap is broken or won't open/close. He says he'll have to replace the whole part which he calls the "central distributing housing". The part alone costs $185, according to him. Wondering if he's giving me the run around?

The AC blower went on the car and it had only 35K miles. Should this be included under Warranty (over 3 years old)?

On a hot summer day, I got into the car and tried to turn the AC on and the rear was working fine, but the front wouldn't blow at all. Van was purchased passed off as a demo, though I've found out since then it couldn't have been with $25,000 miles on it. Needless to say there was no warranty, and dealership wanted far to much $$$ just to look at it. After driving for a year with no front AC, my husband finally investigated and found the problem with the switch. We replaced it and it worked for a couple months before going out again. Bought new switch at dealership, which was designed a bit differently than the previous one. We suspect they realized it was a design flaw and changed it. It has worked fine since then. I suppose two $30 switches isn't too terribly bad to have to pay for a working AC, but still a pain to have to change out twice on what I would consider a reasonably new car.

Checked the relays and fuses. Checked the fan motor and it is getting power. The control panel is okay. The only thing I can think of is maybe a resistor. Not sure where they are. Looking for a manual on line and saw a complaint about the electric lock. Mine only works for about two weeks. When it quits I undo the battery cable and put it back on and it works again. Not sure why.
