Default AC Blower weak

Hiya. The heat/AC blower for the front passengers in our '02 D2 SE7 has been weak since we purchased it. Was it weak from the factory or should I plan on replacing it? Thanks.

It’s hard to know what you mean by weak. They’re not bad. My P38 blasts a lot more, but it’s got 2 fans.

I guess it is subjective, but weaker than my '08 xterra for sure...

there could be debris in the squirrel cage. it's pretty easy to pull the blower motor and clean it out.

or, it could just be an old, tired blower and need to be replaced.

Agree, clean out first.

Does it change speeds correctly? Mine really blasts on high speed. Could it be a problem with the resistor or control circuit?

it does seem to change correctly, it’s just weaker overall

nah man, everyone reading your post knew exactly what you were asking. You couldn’t have been more clear, there was nothing hard about it.

mine is weak too, anyone reading this NOT know what that means? Jesus. Pretty sure it just needs a clean out. I’ll do that to mine and update you.
