Non-ecoboost A/C issues???

My wife's 2009 escape is having A/C issues. Nothing is blowing out of the vents when set on 1 or 2. Only 3 and 4 work. Any thoughts? It's a V6 AWD XLT. Thanks.

Sounds like a blower motor resistor. I had a similar problem in our 4runner.
Here's a video.

x2 on above. Also check cabin filter if you have one. Very neglected maintenance item.

I tried replacing the cabin air filter at one point, but it proved to be too much of a PITA to get at. I will keep that in mind though. Thanks.

Awesome video. My dad said it might be the resistor. Thanks. I'll update if that was the fix.

Thanks for the vid. Makes it look so easy. I don't remember what hung me up on changing the cabin air filter cause I tried a few years ago. I'll try again.

Replaced the blower resistor today. Works perfect now. The 2 8mm bolts are a PITA to get on/off, but other that that an easy fix. Thanks again for the video.

Glad to hear it was an easy fix.

Nice to have that A/C back on line! Enjoy
