Why is Air Not Coming Out of My Vents?

Posted March 9, 2025 3:19 AM

You climb inside your vehicle, start the ignition, and reach for the fan control for the heating or air conditioning.  But when you try to crank it up, no air comes out of the vents. It can make for a very uncomfortable trip, whether it’s hot or cold outside.

It’s important for the comfort of you and your passengers to regulate the temperature in your vehicle’s cabin.  Not having air coming through the vents can also be a safety issue when you’re trying to defrost the windshield and front windows when they fog up and your visibility is affected.  

There can be many reasons why the air isn’t blowing through your vents.  The blower motor may have failed or the switch that controls it wore out.  It could be as simple as a blown fuse, or perhaps an electrical component that regulates the fan speed may have stopped working. One of the ducts that direct the air from the outside to the cabin may have broken.  Or the air intake where the outside air is collected may be clogged up with leaves or other debris.

If your vents aren’t blowing air, it’s time to bring in your vehicle to have one of our technicians diagnose and repair it.  They will examine the electrical and mechanical components to see where the problem is.  The remedy can be something simple, or it may involve a more extensive repair.  

Keeping the cabin temperature temperate and having good air flow are vital to your comfort, especially when the weather outside is extremely hot or cold.

Brought a Subaru to them to inspect before purchasing. CARFAX recommended them as the shop that saw the most Subarus in the area, aside from the stealerships. They were absolutely fantastic. Professional, inquisitive, and honest. The tech took the time to explain and show things I didn’t understand at first. The cost was very fair and the time spent was not wasted. Would highly recommend for such service. I also had them quote one of the repairs and that was also competitive.quotes-image
