vent blower motor?

Not sure if this is possible or not I've searched all the internet looking for this topic couldn't find much.. anyway.
The vent fan inside the car blows really slow (low) even on high I know how different cars have different speeds and such. Is there anyway to change a fuse or the AMPs or even a new blower motor to give it more power?

On high you have to be about 2inches away from the vents to feel any air (its always been like that pretty much)

Thanks!

Is there a noticeable difference between low and high? Or does it feel the same all the way through? Could not quite understand your statement.

If there is no difference, then check into the resistor unit next to the fan. Should be a 4 or 5 wire harness plugging into it. See if there is power to all the contacts at different times.

yah there was some junk in there cleaned it out.. still blows low though.

blows really low, on low setting(can't hardly feel anything even on the vent).

medium its a lil higher.

highest is higher, but is like the lowest setting on most normal cars

so each thing works it just has very little power

sorry if this sounds confusing trying to make it understandable


should i just buy a new motor maybe?
or is there a way to make each 'setting' on the switch give more power to the blower?

thanks for replying!

>>Is there a noticeable difference between low and high?
yes but doesn't make much difference... (basicly no air or tiny air)

Also check the voltage applied to the motor on high, should be 12v. If you have 12v I would suspect the motor as the problem.
