I think my fan isn't working.

my fan that blows air at me doesn't work sometimes. tonight when I just got in it it wouldn't work, but after driving for like a minute it kind of sounded like it was working but I didn't feel much air moving. Is it hard to replace it? What else could be wrong?

They're easy to change (under the hood, pass side, by the firewall), but are you sure that IS the problem? Could be the control switch on the A/C head, or a couple of other things. There was a post on here a few weeks ago about this same thing pretty much telling you everything about the system, what all to check, etc., so maybe someone'll jump back in here and go thru all that for you.

It sounds like your fan to me, easy part to replace and can find them at any junk yark cheap. you said it doesn't work but when your driving you feel a little air but not much. When you stop again it stops right? Thats normal. My fan works but when I shut it off and leave the control on heat it will blow a little air in when up to speed. This is because at speed air is still being forced in through the vent over your heater core and in the car. In the summer or when its warn out I make sure I leave it on vent and cold when I don't have the fan on to block off the heater core. So from this I still think its your fan motor. Hope this helps.
