So out of the blue today, my A/C and Heat stopped blowing from the vents unless the "recirculate" button is turned off. None of the modes work in "circulation" mode...defrost, feet only, middle only, etc.

When the recirculate button is turned off, I only get A/C & heat while moving and I am able to adjust the temperature to my liking. As soon as I come to a stop, nothing blows out of the vents.

Any ideas?

your HVAC intake is under the cowl just in front of the windshield. I'd pull that thing off and see if there's a bird nest or something in there. If you're moving then the air is getting forced in more than while stopped. just my thoughts

Just an update to this in case anyone searches in the future…it was the blower motor resistor. I changed it out today and everything is back to normal.

Super easy $30 fix. Didn’t even have to swap the connector.
