2011 AC blower motor issue

[ntsaint]

The blower motor in my 2011 is suddenly blowing at low speed, even when set to max and with the temp on LO.

Ang ideas? Have tried everything i can think of.

Just replace it. I can't upload the details right now for some reason (on my phone right now). But I've had this problem in the past and posted some responses on how to fix. I'll see if I can find the posts too.

Here it is. Not expensive either and pretty simple
Yet another lurker out of the shadows...

Does it do the same when "Auto" is off?

@TonyP is right. I've had a few cocktails. Check all the settings first. If it blows only at one speed, faintly, or not at all it's likely a bad blower motor.

If i turn auto off and control the fan speed manually, then when on medium it’s barely turning and i have little to no airflow.

At low speed no airflow. At high speed i get what i would consider medium.

I will order the replacement for sure.

I did just open up my cabin filter door and it looks like the Toyota techs broke the recirc damper door. So changing from outside to recirc has no effect. Guess i will be trying to repair that also.

I wonder if that has something to do with the fan speed?

I would start with the recirc door first.
There's a fair chance that'll fix your issue. It's been known to happen.

It wouldn't hurt to put in a new cabin air filter.

So. Update. It was the recirc door. Glued back to actuator and moved to proper position and all good.

Thanks guys.
