My A/C used to work great. Then it quit and the way I found to get it turned back on was to flip the inside/outside air vent lever back and forth and then it would pop on again.
Then the fan started to get slower and slower and would suddenly get fast air coming out.
I did notice that when I went over a speed bump the air would increase for about a second and then go back down
Now it comes back on when it wants to but the fan is very slow. Still has very very cold air though.
Just went out and drove and the AC came back on. More like a medium high air flow. It's almost as if something is clogging it all up like a vacuum hose?

Hi firefox60,
Thank you for the donation.
Symptoms indicates the fan motor is failing. The carbon brushes are running out and it is intermittently not working correctly.
Give the blower housing some banging with your hands to see if the motor works better. If yes, it is time to get the motor replaced.
