Hi guys. So I just got a 2005 Acura TL with only 44,000 mi. on it. I've noticed, the fan (even on high speed) doesn't seem to blow very hard. I've had Nissans, Toyotas, VWs, Chevys, more...and they've all performed MUCH better! So what would cause the fan to blow so weakly?

Mine seems to blow pretty hard (lol that doesnt sound good), maybe yours has issues? I never even turn mine to the max, usually like halfway is fine.

time to replace the cabin air filter--many are found plugged with leaves
Its supposed to be done every year but most people dont even know about it
Check the Garage section for the diy-

Is it weak on both cold and hot?

I have this problem only on hot. Apparently I have a bad mix motor, the problem is that there are 4 I have no idea on how to find which one it is.... I get no air pressure even when maxed out, it truly was a cold cold winter....

Can be any of these parts (#8-11)

Yeah I have the same problem and two dealers weren't able to figure anything out. I thought it was just a factory design but I haven't been in another one so I don't know if they're all like that. It blow so much softer than my old G20 though.

+1 on the cabin filter

+2 cabin air filter.. if it still doesn't blow then make sure it's not leaking through other vents.

i agree, change the filter. also, flip through the mode in order to just get air through one of the vents. if its on auto the system will choose which vents it uses and it may choose multiple vents there by decreasing the amount of air coming out of each individual vent.

I didn't even notice my blower wasn't working ('05 3G). I took the car in for an electrical problem and the Acura dealer fixed the blower.

Was there any circumstances when your blower would or wouldn't work?

On a recent long road trip, I noticed no air was coming out any of the vents in any combo of modes. I could hear the fan pushing the air and even adjusting to the fan speed I selected but, nothing coming out the vents. Turning car off and on or pulling AC fuse/resistors did nothing at gas stops. Next day, works like a champ.

Sumbich did on the drive back 2 weeks later! Next day, works fine. Now the climate control system is also triggering the VSA and (!) lights when I turn it on, but that's a whole other issue...

was thinking some kind of directional motor/mixer issue but why on the long trip?

^its fixed now, took it to Acura of Ramsey.

Had them run a diagnosis, and it turned out that the mix motor had bad codes and needed to be re-calibrated. They went and did that for no additional charge
