Default Fan doesn't blow

So I decide to use the EG today and since it was raining, I decided to use the A/C to defrost the windows. When I turned on the fan to #2, nothing would happen. No air would flow through the vents. When changing the settings on the vents for the different airflow positions, it worked because I could hear the motor changing the position. However, when I turn on the A/C button, it illuminates green and I can hear the A/C turn on, but since no air flows through the vents, it won't cool anyways. What problem do I have with the air not flowing through the vents? How do I fix this?

is it only on setting #2? Which settings did you change, just the placement settings, or did you change the ammount settings as well? If it works only 4 only, it could be the resistor (which usually don't go bad), if not, your vent pipes could be stuck (inside)

It doesn't blow on all settings 1-4. It was just blowing fine like a few minutes. I turned it back off because I had to open the window for something. Then I tried to turn in back on an it wouldn't blow any air.

I don't remember if the fans have their own fuse or not. So check the fuses. It's also possible the fan is dead and will need replacing. PM Outrun, I think he replaced his fan recently.

I'm pretty sure they're over $100.

Yeah, with new information, sounds like your fan motor crapped out...

Not sure replacement cost, but I'm sure u can find one at a junkyard, that'd be ur best bet anyways..

sorry to bump an old post but my fan only works when the engine is off.

Anybody have any ideas why it is doing this?
