Cool AC not working right

Hey guys, since you helped me so much with the front end issue, I was wondering if somebody could help me with this. My Jeeps air conditioning is not working right. The air that is coming out is nice and cold but there is not much air coming out at all. Even in high, where normally it would feel like a hurricane inside, now barely nothing. What do you think it could be? I am going to get my husband to look at it this weekend, be nice if I could tell him where to start. Thanks guys!

Would that be the noise I hear on the passenger side, under the dash...very loud, used not to be.

it might sound weird, but have you tried to kick under the passenger dash. sometimes it'll help jar it back to work. but it dose sound like a blower motor going into self destruct mode.

check to make sure that your getting your full 12 volts on high. High setting bypasses the speed resistors. and then worry about getting that new motor.

a buddy of mine kind of had the same problem , but his blower fan was good, it just happened that ducts needed to be cleaned out. He just used one of those static dusters, it was small egnough to fit into the ducts and every where else. Pulled out alot of dust, dirt and a crayon. it would be a good idea to clean out the ducts with the motor removed IMO.

I can't hear the noise, but you might check for blockage. Mice and other little critters can sometimes think your ductwork is a nice place to build a nest. Pull the fan motor and check everything out

Cool FIXED!

Hey Guys. My husband fixed the AC this weekend. The little recirculation door was broken off, was blocking all the air from coming inside. Thanks for all the help!
