No air out of vents

[Eversdustin]

Hey everyone! I have a 99 ford explorer and I can't get any air to come out of the front vents. Not defrost or regular heat. The back blower works fine and is blowing air but the front ones won't! Anyone have any suggestions?

First I would turn on you front blower. Pop the hood and see if it is running. It is located on the passenger side. If it is not running the first thinks I would do is check fuses. If they are all fine I would then unplug the power wires going to the fan. Then hook the fan to the battery and see if it comes on. If it does not come on you need a new fan. If it does come on you might have a bad blower motor resistor.

could also be the blend door actuator a popular issue with the Explorers

So i seem to be having this problem... only thing that I'm experiencing that no one mentioned is that sometimes it works and then sometimes it doesn't... like if it doesn't come on, no matter how many times i turn it off and on, it doesn't come on... then later when i happened to try it, it worked...
Any answers as to what the problem turned out to be? Any suggestions on what i should do to see what it is? My assumption is the blower is having an issue, whether it's a fuse or whatever, but just wanted to check with others before i go get hands on...

My 1988 van had this intermittent issue years ago. The blower motor had to be replaced. Check the speed control resistor, and the plug on the blower motor.
