Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools and parts.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface with the engine off.
Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shock.

2. Replace Cabin Air Filter

Locate the cabin air filter housing (usually behind the glove box).
Remove the glove box by unscrewing or unclipping it.
Take out the old cabin air filter and inspect it for dirt and debris.
Install a new cabin air filter, ensuring it is oriented correctly (check for airflow direction).
Reassemble the glove box.

3. Inspect and Test Blower Motor

Access the blower motor located under the dashboard.
Disconnect the electrical connector and remove the blower motor assembly.
Use a multimeter to test the blower motor for continuity.
If faulty, replace the blower motor with a new one.
Reinstall the blower motor and reconnect the electrical connector.

4. Check AC Compressor

Start the engine and turn on the AC to the maximum setting.
Listen for the compressor engaging (a clicking sound).
If the compressor does not engage, check the electrical connection and fuses.
If the compressor is malfunctioning, replace it with a new unit.

5. Inspect AC Condenser

Visually inspect the AC condenser for any obstructions, such as leaves or debris.
Clear any debris blocking airflow.
If the condenser is damaged, replace it.
