You jump in your car on a 100-degree day. You quickly reach
for your A/C controls, and to your dismay no air comes through the vents once
you turn them on!
The scenario above can be applied during the wintertime as
well, when it comes to heating, but either way, there is nothing worse than the
HVAC vents of your car not operating properly. So naturally, your first
question is what could be causing this issue?
With that in mind, here are a few ways to determine what is
causing your vehicle’s vents to not produce any air.
Does the Blower Fan Engage?
In the event that your Fan does not engage, then the fuse
location portion of your owner’s manual will help you find the fuse for
HVAC/Climate Control or Fan. Most Fuses today are clear, which can make determining
a Blown HVAC Fuse easy due to its visibility.
The Fan Controller/Switch/Motor
In addition to a Blown Fuse, a Faulty Fan Controller, Fan
Switch, or Fan Motor could cause the sudden lack of air coming through your vehicle’s
vents. This could be a good possible cause if your fan is not operating, but
the fuses are in good condition.
If this is the case, it is best to bring your vehicle to a Service
Center such as Pugh’s Service for a proper diagnosis. The above parts can be
costly and it’s best to have the proper tests performed so that the correct
parts can be replaced.
A Clogged Cabin Air Filter
If your fan is working but limited air is coming out of your
vents, then you may be looking at a Clogged Cabin Air Filter.
Most cars today have a Cabin Air Filter, which can be found
by visiting your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual. Due to the old adage, ‘out of sight,
out of mind’, these filters oftentimes experience a lot of neglect.
At Pugh’s Service we provide you with a copy of your
vehicle’s maintenance, or K plan/schedule. These plans have intervals of when
to replace or clean many items on your vehicle, including a Cabin Air Filter.
Neglecting your Cabin Air Filter is a common cause when issues arise within your
vehicle’s Vent System.
Check for Critters & Debris
Critters love to make their homes in our cars and trucks.
Rodents, in particular, are huge fans of our vehicles, setting up shop in many different
areas, vents included.
In the case where you have provided a home to a less than desirable
occupant, don’t hesitate to reach out to a qualified Automotive Repair Center
like Pugh’s Service Automotive to completely clean your vents and ducts. Rodents
love to eat portions of your vehicle while also leaving their nests and
droppings behind. Cleaning up after them is never a simple job, due to the
simple fact that you are dealing with a “rat’s nest” of a mess.
Ductwork Mechanisms
Air flow is directed through directional mechanisms which
place the air flow in different sections of the vehicle’s interior. These parts
are plastic and break for various reasons. Sometimes the reason can be critter
nests, but more often than not, old parts that simply go bad are the culprit.
Hopefully this aids you in your quest for ample Air Flow, be
it hot or cold. Pugh’s Service has Repaired Venting Systems for many years.
