All of a sudden a about a week ago my air conditioning fan doesnt come on until I start driving the car forward. It used to come on as soon as I turned the ignition key on and turned the ac knobs to the on position. Oh and it’s a 2006 Toyota Corolla. Anyone know what’s up? Thanks

The next time the blower stops working, turn the ignition switch on, turn the fan speed to high, and reach under the passenger side of the dash and with a screwdriver handle rap on the blower motor.

If the blower starts working, replace the blower motor.

Thanks! Wow, I swear I had my mechanic replace the blower motor a few years ago. Maybe 2-3 years at the most I think. I’ll get my screwdriver out
