98 Corolla blower/heater

Shpongler

Hi lads,

I have a 1998 Corolla saloon, the blower isn't blowing out much air, only a very small amount, the fan is working away but not a lot is coming out of the vents. Any idea where to start?

Cabin filter blocked maybe?

cabin filter is definitely worth a look. ten minutes would change it, or at least take the heavy debris out :pac:

that said i think the blower unit itself is a weak spot in these cars, i've had one with an extremely weak blower and another where it has seized altogether.

Have you checked the coolant level?
The same was happening with my Celica when the coolant was low, so it could be a wider issue with Toyotas.

cabin filter would be the best place to look! but seing as its kind of the same topic i have a 1997 corolla its a g6 model with the A/C as standard but ever time i turn it on it makes a vibrating noise anyone no what that is ? not that bothered about it as im not a big on using it just curious ?

Does a 98 corolla even have a cabin filter. I had two 98's and none of them had a cabin filter even though the slot was there for it and one could be retrofitted.

Thanks for the replies lads, the cabin filter was completely clogged with straw and muck.. all sorted now - Cheers again!!

i had a 99 saloon with a no a/c that had a cabin filter and a 00 3 door hatch with a/c that had one also...

clearly the previous owners didn't know it had one as they were both pretty shocking.
