No airflow from vents

Set fan to high, no air comes out of any vent.

R107 has a single blower motor under the cowl, controlled by the ACC system. The blower regulator (a power transistor) is a known weak point.

  2. Reach in under the dash — does the blower wheel spin freely by hand?

Possible causes it points to

  • Blower regulator (transistor)
  • No power to blower motor
  • Blower motor seized
