It snowed here on Friday and my car was outside all day. The next morning I went to warm up my car (all the snow had melted off) and I notice my heater isnt blowing any air, at any speed. My blower motor has made noises in the past so I immedatly think that the motor is on the fritz. I immediatly scan my car and find code 01273 Fresh Air Blower Defective. I decided to take it out and see if theres anything I could fix and I immedatly notice on the foam cover in the passengers side footwell theres ice...
Well crap.
As I get to taking things apart (trim pieces, glove box ect) theres snow & ice packed in weird places. I noticed that some cover/trim piece is half on and the foam thing behind it seems to be swelled up (the thing I was looking at was my pollen filter, it was only half on.) So I take the pollen filter off and theres ice in it. The dealer was the last person to replace this so I cant wait to see how this goes over...
So my question to you folks is, if the pollen filter is only half on, can water/snow get in there? I would assume that when its properly seated it seals itself up... right?
Everything is working now that Ive taking everything apart, I just hope it stays that way...
TL;DR - pollen filter wasnt installed correctly, water/snow got into the cabin and now my heater/ac isnt blowing any air.
