    something similar to WebMD but for cars

    My AC is cold but all of a sudden it stopped blowing air. I would like to have a clue of what it might be before going to a mechanic.

    May be as simple as a fuse for the blower. Does the blower sound like it is trying to turn, or is it not moving at all?

    Probably blower motor relay, fuse or the motor itself.

    Scotty kilmer helped me with my car trouble. Just e-mail him with a detail description of your problem. He use to have a morning show on Khou for any car questions but I don't think he does that anymore.

    What kind of car? Is there NO airflow, or is the air just warm now?

    A couple months back I had to replace the compressor because the air wasn't cold, but the fan still worked.

    Now I can feel cold air when I put my hand on the vent, but it's not blowing at all, if that makes any sense.

    Probably a blower resistor, or blower motor. Can you hear the fan running? Some cars have vacuum controlled vent flaps, and if they lose vacuum, the flaps won't open-you'd still hear the motor in this case.
