The wind is bad: why the windshield fan is not working properly

Summer is coming to an end, the autumn “weather” is already starting and the windshield is fogged up from time to time. With an ordinary gesture, we turn on the air conditioner, and there – breathe a little, as if afraid to frighten others, a light breeze. Ate at duet. But the blower motor works! While the glass sweats for a long time, there is time to think about the causes and consequences of the identified malfunction.
A fogged windshield is not a problem if there is air conditioning. However, the “refreshing breeze” sometimes goes way in the wrong volume and way in the wrong direction where it is needed. The AvtoVzglyad portal has repeatedly written about the reasons for the failure of the “cooler” itself, but there was no reason to figure out the issue of the direction of air flows and the regulation of those very flows. Well, there is now.
The direction in which the air will flow from the interior ventilation system can be selected using a special climate control unit. However, over time, the “remote control” itself begins to get weird, and sometimes for completely different reasons: somewhere the mechanism wears out, and somewhere water gets in and the terminals oxidize. The first is difficult and often expensive, the second is easier and faster. But repairing and restoring the climate unit does not always give the desired result.
An important element of the air conditioning system is the blower motor. It stands at the feet of the front passenger and directly controls the force of the airflow. Natural wear and tear, the lack of a cabin filter and just time do irreparable things: the “breeze” first starts to creak, then turns on every other time and one day it just calms down. Repair or change is a personal choice, but in the event that the stove has stopped responding to offers to work, understand and disassemble it.
If the control unit works and the motor is very noisy, who is responsible for the weak airflow? As a rule, the air ducts themselves. As a rule, this is a construction made of plastic, which is connected by seals. Over the years they wear out and begin to miss, and artisanal dash disassembly assembly completes what has been started. The first to “leave the chat” is the air duct on the windshield, which simply stops supplying the necessary amount of air to the “plywood”. Maybe we’ll start with him.
Remove the center console, access all the “splendor”. A quick look is enough to see a huge amount of fabric and foam inserts sticking out in all directions. We disassemble, clean, install, not forgetting to use a sealant: there are probably professional sharp special ones, but an ordinary one from a hardware store is also suitable for this task. Load knows what, and overpaying is not our way. After carefully assembling the whole structure in place, we test it. To work! And cases for an hour, and cost – a minimum, and the effect is worth it. But the main thing – with your own hands!
