Air blows sometimes, most times it doesn't
« on: September 07, 2023, 08:48:58 PM »
Hi; 1986 Silverado. This truck had AC but at some point it was removed.

If I try to use the Vent to blow air, nothing happens 75% of the time. Then sometimes after it's been "on" for a bit, it starts up and I get air blowing.

I can't seem to find a pattern. I don't understand enough of how it works.

Any ideas? Thank you.

I had a nest in my unit by the doors that prevented the doors from operating properly. I believe others have experienced the same. Pull the unit off and check inside would be one suggestion.

Your fan could also be going bad or you might have a bad wire connection. Check connector to fan, clean if needed.

I'll do that; where is the fan in this truck? Under the dash or under the hood? Wondering if it's part of the old AC leftover parts. Thanks
