The slight flow from the AC feels cool, so the AC is probably not the problem; the defrost took nearly an hour (no scraping) to remove Minnesota frost from the front windshield. I'll know more on August 13 when the service tech gets back to me. The BIG question then will be whether it's fixable at a reasonable cost for a 13-year-old vehicle. | |

What we can help you with is the technical part - is it reasonable to say that the blower needs replacement, could something else be the reason for low air flow, etc. | |

| Aug 12, 2015 at 20:03 | comment | added | Zaid | Is it a constant, low speed regardless of what fan setting you try? | |
| Aug 12, 2015 at 19:27 | comment | added | S. Cross | I'd like an idea of what exactly would have to be done if it's just a blower issue. A dealer currently has the vehicle and will come back to me tomorrow with some kind of diagnosis/estimate. Can an independent mechanic work with blowers? How do I know any estimate will not be ripping me off? | |
