Default AC Problems continued...

I told you guys about my AC breaking on me, well I determined it is the interior fans not working, but now I am just confused. When the system is off completly I feel a cool breeze (not strong) coming from the vents. As soon as i turn the system ON it stops blowing... Does this mean the fans are ok and its something else? I am lost... Should I just bring it by somewhere or is there ANYTHING else I can check? (already checked fuses)

Thanks

You need to clarify your issue, is it the A/C, not blowing cold or is it an interior blower motor not working.
Being more exact makes it easier to figure out what is going on.

There is always a given amount of non fan related air flow even with the fan off.
Have you checked the fuses as asked before, have you checked for power to the blower motor, if not do this then get back to us.

As stated in the first post I already checked the fuses. The AC is not blowing any air at all when it is on. I think I have explained everything I can, I dont know enough about AC to tell you anymore. I think I will just bring it by the shop. Thanks anyways.

Turn the A/C off, turn the blower to HIGH, does the fan blow air in your face? If so then your fan is working.
Turn the A/C on, does it not blow cold BUT it still blows air? Then it is your A/C and NOT the HVAC blower.
Re-charge the A/C.

As soon as I turn the A/C on there is no air flow period, same when I turn it to high. On a DII there is no way to control the fan speed when the A/C is off because it turns the entire system off, even when I swtich it to econ mode it doesnt blow on the highest setting. But here is another test I did, I tured the defrosters on, nothing. I can hear them trying to start but wont come on. Thats as much as I can clarify my issue with my knowledge. I hope that helps, but if not I think I just need to bring it in. Thank you for trying spike, I think I can find the issue if I keep looking.

Sounds like your HVAC blower isint getting enough power once the A/C is turned on. I would take it in.

seen several shorts in that circuit, generally will blow the fuse, but ivee seen it just burn up the connector to the blower motor, located under dash on rh side, clearish 3 pin connector with decently think wires goin into it, but it very well could be any number of things. take it in.
