Slow blowing Heater

My heater doesn't seem to work to its max....Like it doesn't blow that hard on high, and doesn't blow much at all on low. It doesn't seem like it gets hot enough either. I just figured I would ask. Thanks guys

Are you referring to the air not coming out of the vents when you have it turned to heater. If so, all your heat is being diverted to the vents at the base of the center console. To get the max amount of heat from the upper vents, turn the selector lever to"VENT". It will make you nice and toasty.

yeah thats what I mean. I turn it to Vent and it comes out slowly. It doesn't blow very hard, and doesn't get hot hot. it works, just not like I think it should. I don't really know.

Just a quick question here Snowman89, does it do this only in the heater and vent mode or in all modes (A/C, bi-level, and such)? I have the troubleshooting chart.

Yeah everything works, just slow. I'm beggining to think the fan motor is weak or something. Cuz the a/c doesn't really blow that hard either.

Make sure the ground wire to the motor is clean/good connection.

Hello Snowman89,

I just tried to e-mail you that information and your mailbox just is not big enough. Do you have another address that I can send it to. If so, PM me with it so I can get this stuff to you.
