so I was out chasing this afternoon/evening and on my way home after it got dark I noticed my ac quit blowing air. The overhead/rear hvac works just fine but no air blows from the front vents, floor or defrost whether the AC is on or not. I noticed a little water on the rubber mat under the glovebox. The highest water I drove thru was curb height and I’m pretty sure I have driven thru worse. I’m assuming it’s the fan motor but any other ideas?

I already planned to go get my oil changed either tomorrow or Thursday but b4 I ask them about this I wanted to see if there is anyone that has any suggestions to try??

I tried to look up where and how to locate the fan motor but couldn’t find details on my 2015 just older models then I got frustrated and quit lol

Thanks!!
 






If it was an issue with the blower motor I don't think that you'd get any air from the overhead vents. Do the same symptoms exist with heat mode? It almost sounds like an issue with the blend door actuators.

If OP has aux/rear hvac, it would have separate blower motor in back.

Thanks. Since I've never used the rear A/C I wasn't sure if it used the overhead vents. I know that with just the front unit ON it does blow air from the 2nd-row vents.
Perhaps the fuse for the front blower motor is blown. It wasn't stated if it was checked. I guess we'll have to wait and see what if anything the dealer found.
