Ryan_V Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 My old ford is giving me a little trouble. Every once in a while, with the heat or A/C on, air stops coming from the vents. The fan is still blowing, I can hear that, but air flow stops. then after a while, it will pick up again..... any ideas??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy airjer W Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 frozen evap core. If it happens in defrost or a/c than that would be my first thought. If it happens on the other heat settings with the a/c off than Hmmmmmmm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy airjer W Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Is it moving to a different position. For example you have it set on vent your driving along and it changes by itself and starts blowing out of the defrost or floor. If that's the case than there is an issue with vacuum supply (pretty sure these are vacuum controlled, somebody correct me if I am wrong). Typically when there is no vacuum manufacturers will default the air flow to the defrost position to keep the windshield clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
