Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to ensure safety.
2. Cabin Air Filter Replacement
  • Locate the cabin air filter housing, usually beneath the dashboard or behind the glove box.
  • Remove the cover and take out the old cabin air filter.
  • Insert a new cabin air filter (ensure it is the correct type for your model).
  • Reattach the cover securely.
3. Fuse Inspection and Replacement
  • Locate the fuse box and identify the AC fuse using the diagram on the cover.
  • Remove the AC fuse and inspect for damage; replace if blown.
  • Reinstall the fuse and close the fuse box.
4. Blower Motor Inspection
  • Locate the blower motor, typically found under the dashboard on the passenger side.
  • Disconnect the wiring harness from the blower motor.
  • Use a multimeter to test for voltage at the blower motor connector while the AC is on.
  • If no voltage is present, trace back for wiring issues; if voltage is present, replace the blower motor.
5. Refrigerant Check
  • Connect a refrigerant gauge to the low-pressure service port.
  • Check the refrigerant level; if low, identify and fix leaks before recharging.
  • Recharge the AC system with the correct type of refrigerant as specified by the manufacturer.
