A/C not blowing

Got in my truck this morning and everything worked fine, no problems. Arrived at my destination and parked. Come out about two hours later start the truck and my A/C wont blow air, My truck is an 05 lariat so it has the climate control A/C. Everything was working fine it just wont blow air, When i turned the A/C on and off i could hear/feel the small thump of the clutch engaging on the compressor.
Im thinking the blower fan just went south? or maybe something stupid that controls the blower fan? Any help is much appreciated because summer is in full swing here in central florida, temps are 95+ not including the humidity

It could be any one of the following:

Fuse F2 under the hood, blower relay in underhood fusebox, the blower motor, the blower speed controller, EATC module, or any of the wiring between components or to power or ground.

With the EATC, it's not a simple circuit and wil require some real troubleshooting to get it right the first time.

Start with checking the fuse, then see if there's a relay in the same box with t he same specs you can swap for the blower relay. After that, anything will require a meter at a minimum.

An intermittent connection, one of the most frustrating of problems to pin down since it will usually work when you're looking for it but fail when you want to use it.

Blower Motor

I have a 2005 F250 and had a similar problem. Does it blow out of the defrost? If so it has to do with the vacum lines and vacum pump. I had to check the pump on the passenger side on the wheel well. It worked fime. I then checked all of the vacum lines, even the ones that run to the front automatic hubs. I was told to cut a half of an inch off of them. I haven't tried that yet. I can get mine to work again by switching into 4 wheel drive and then back to 2 wheel drive. I was amazed it worked. Haaven't had a problem since. I don't know how long this will last.

Its not blowing out of the defrost, so im thinking loose connection(someone above said it) or a chaffed wire. It worked fine all day today ill just have to wait and see if it does it again

It is necessary to distinguish whether you have a blower that isn't running at all vs. a blower that runs but does not push the air out the correct ducts.

Different problems, different causes, different solutions.
