Is there anyway to tell if recirc door is blocking vent b4 purchasing one?

2005 dodge ram 1500 4.7 V-8. 106000 miles. A/C does blow but doesn't seem to blow as fast as it should. New problem that just started is that A/C blows warm when idling. Is this a fan issue? Works fine when going down road. Thanks

Sounds like either the air condition pump or the belt on the pump is going out

99% chance it is the blower resister located behind glove box. Squeeze glove box in and pull out.
The resistor is right behind it, dealer part cost less then $20.
Dodge has had this problem for over ten years and until recently did nothing. Now they combine fuse with resistor, suppose that will correct it?

SOURCE: Heater on driver-side blows barely warm air other vents blow cold

the most probabale cause of this would be a disfunctional hear core if you replace your heater your heater will more than likley work the the way it's supposed to

SOURCE: air only blows on floor with very little coming out the defrost or regular vents.

Hope you have the same set up, sure you do. You may have either crossed your vaccum lines or when you were putting your heater/ac box back together or you may of pinched the vents somewhat closed. Cycle through the different zones to ensure the vents are moving as your are selecting (defrost, floor, ect...) If you think the vaccum lines are correct then you may have a reassembly issue with the Heater/ac box. I had the same problem with my 2000 Dodge Ram 4x4. Use the KISS rule "keep it simple stupid" start with the vaccum lines and all your wiring to the motors, make sure everything is plugged in. Hopefully you'll find it there before going back into the box again.

It sounds like your electronic vent actuator has gone bad, it's common to go bad and may need to be replaced. There are tinny gears that wear out and the vent actuator stops working. You can try this, turn the radio off first so you don't have to enter the reset code to activate your radio. Disconnect the battery for 30 seconds and reconnect it, if the actuator has lost it's base line and stuck in the open heat position, this will reset it, just make sure the setting is to cold and off before disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. If this does not work, then it's a bad actuator and Auto Zone should have the part you need and will have the step by step instructions for you to the job you self, I believe the dealer is a $415,00 repair cost for this. Good luck and keep me posted.

There is a actuator on the right side of your leg while sitting in the drivers seat under the dash. It has a plastic rod for actuation manually actuate this diverter and should be the problem.

An air flow obstruction seems to be keeping the air from the fan, from reaching any of of the vents. Is there a main air flow door that could be jammed, keeping the air from diverting to wherever the...

There is a vent door that switches the intake air from outside air to inside air. (fresh vs recirculating). The vent door in some dodges break and fall down over the vent air intake, just above the fan. You can take the three fan motor screws out and reach up inside. You should be able to feel the broken vent door laying, covering the intake hole. You can try to tape it up, screw it up, or some other way of fastening it in place. I tried tape, but here in az, the heat got to it and it fell back over the intake hole. I removed it entirely. Now I cannot select fresh or recirc, but it blows hard again. The alternative is paying the dealer 700-900 to repair it. Good luck.

2004 dodge ram AC clicking

There is what is called a "blend door" that controls the flow of air to either the heater core for heat or the evaporator core for cold. It switches back and forth via the temp you request. The servo motor that controls this may eithere have gone bad or the the door could be in a bind. This involves getting to the top or sides of the plenum which air flows through. Removing the glove box door and compartment will assist in accessing this. I hope this helps

2005 Toyota Corolla air conditioner is cold but

The air flow does not 'increase' with the recirc button pressed. The fan motor blows at specific speeds, no matter whether fresh or recirc is selected. The recirc feature is there so that you do NOT admit 'fresh/hot' air from the outside into the AC box. In short, the recirc feature is to re-use, or, recirculate the existing air in the car. When it is properly working, on a hot day, the recirc selection should drop the internal temperature at the center air vent about 6 degrees lower than with the fresh selected.

2003 Dodge Ram 4.7, AC barely blows except for floor vents that blow hard. Am told there are four vent actuators? Fuses all good in panel.

Could be a bad recirc door housing, or a bad mode door actuator. There are not four vent actuators. I do see alot of recirc door housings break, and cause the problem you describe.

Air blows out dash vents but not with the force it blows out the floor can watch acctuator motor move door to all positions

Either the flap that switches positions from floor/defrost/vents is stuck, or a vacuum line has came off, or there is a nest or other clog either in the fan's squirel cage or in the vent itself
