Intermittent problem. 2005 Toyota Sequoia SRS with dual front/rear AC.

Sometimes, the rear AC will blow, but the front does not. The Rear AC has never failed to work.

Many times, rapidly driving over a bump or dip in the road will cause the front to start blowing again - perhaps suggesting a stuck valve or something?

More likely a failing blower motor.

When blower fan does not work, try banging the blower motor housing under the glove box and if it starts, the motor is due for replacement.

Thanks for the quick reply. I live in Phoenix and the forecast calls for a high of around 117 degrees tomorrow.

You're welcom.

Hope my guess is the correct one.

Have a nice day.
