Air Conditioning Gremlin
 

OK, so this one is weird...

I get in my 2003 X5 yesterday, and crank up the fan and there is no change in airflow.

The LED is showing the fan power increasing, but there is no accompanying increase in actual air movement - I can hear the blower running and I can hear the absence of said blower when I turn the system off by hitting the minus symbol next to the fan until it powers down.

I also can't seem to get the air to come out of various vents even though the light comes on the respective button when I point it, for example, to the floor, straight at me or at the windshield.

If anybody has any advice on how to fix this, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks again,
Tim
