No air blowing through AC vents

[RATED_M]

Something weird is going on with the AC system in my F86. I'm not getting any air flow through any vents (from what I can tell) but when I adjust the fan speed I can hear the fans. It just sounds like the air is stuck in the dashboard.

The only thing I did recently was install CarPlay MMI - I have a 2016. I had to disconnect both batteries and unplug everything in the console. Could I have done something wrong here?

Yep. Did the same thing. Need to pull dash apart again and reconnect all the wires. You missed one.

Weird it started working again? Perhaps the mechanism that opens/closes the vents was having a moment

If it stops again, you probably have a loose connection you didn’t quite tighten…hopefully it’s good to go!

Did you just install the mmi? Sometimes a deep sleep resets the modules.

I did install the MMI. Whatever this issue is is intermittent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

I can hear the fans blowing at full speed, but its as if the flaps in the vents aren’t opening.

I don’t see how installing the MMI would have done anything. The head unit doesn’t control the AC
