2001 Dodge Ram
It is not the recirculate door, which is a normal issue with these trucks. Mine works fine. Blower motor works and is not clogged with anything. Blend doors all seem to be doing what they should.
AC doesn't blow like it used to. Blows through the 2 outer vents by the doors decently (though not like before), but the inner vents (2 over radio and 1 near glovebox) hardly blow at all. The floor vents seem to blow pretty strong. The defroster vents barely blow at all.
I also cut a hole in interior dash to access the evaporator as well which I saw on another post (genius, btw). Often people get leaves and stuff in there and it decreases air flow. It appeared really clean in there.
The air will only work on highest setting, which I know is the blower motor resistor. I read that low air flow can cause the motor to work harder and blow the resistor (think I said that right). Wanna know what caused it to blow before I replace that, and don't read where that could increase air flow at all if it is replaced.
Thought it may be an evap leak. Built a home-made smoke machine to test evap system, but have been unable to find one. I haven't found any post anywhere on what this could be. If it can be answered, I'm sure it will be here. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
