Hello everyone, this has been going on for a while now, I just have not been to concerned about it until my move to Florida. Having air conditioner in my car would be wonderful. The heat/air conditioner does not work. The display unit works, but no matter what setting I put it on nothing will blow from the front vents, defrost, or floor vents. I get free flow heat/air conditioner when moving down the road. I checked and got no ACM codes. The rear/arm rest vent blows when I turn it on. Which seems odd to me. I am not the most skilled when it comes to working on vehicles, so be descriptive in your replies so I may do everything right please. I tried asking on a forum and was not getting any return replies.

Check your fuse first if no blower function at all.

Hi Cody,

Do you hear the blower motor working? If so you probably have an vent blend door actuator that has gone bad, here is a guide to help you.

I do not hear it. And replying to an earlier message, I do not see a fuse or relay for the blower motor. Not in the trunk or under the hood.

It is going to be one of the big fuses 50 AMP. It is called the indvert fuse located on the engine compartment on the passenger side.
