Car AC Weak Airflow
Airflow from the car AC vents is weak even though the air is cold. The problem is with air volume, not temperature.
Possible Causes
Clogged Cabin Filter
High likelihoodA dirty cabin filter blocks airflow and significantly reduces air volume.
Weak Blower Motor
Medium likelihoodBlower motor has weakened due to worn brushes or internal failure.
Blocked Air Ducts
Low likelihoodAir ducts inside the dashboard partially blocked by leaves or foreign objects.
How to Diagnose?
- 1 Replace cabin filter and check if airflow improves
- 2 Run blower on all speeds and verify response
- 3 Listen for abnormal sounds from the blower
- 4 Check blower resistor (if fan only works on one speed)
