Post A/C not blowing and cannot figure out the issue

A few weeks ago I started hearing gurgling noises behind my dash like there was water somewhere, and then noticed a pool of water on the floor next to my passenger seat leaking from under the dash and turned off my A/C. The next time i turned it on there was no air coming out of the vents but i can hear the compressor kick on every time i hit the a/c button and the lines under the dash are cold, so that leads me to believe its something inside my car.

I did some research on the forum and found a few possible issues. The first was a clogged drain pipe, a little pipe sticking out from the firewall in the engine compartment. So i grabbed a clothes hanger and tried to free any blockage. Nothing came out. Second was that the blower motor resistor was broken. I purchased a new one and that didn't fix it. Next i took out the blower motor, hooked it up to my battery and it spun up just fine, so i figured that wasn't the problem, and purchased a new relay for the fuse box thinking that was the last of the problem but it still refuses to work.

If i tap the blower motor under the dash, i can feel cold air start to pump out of the vents, and i can hear the motor clicking like it wants to turn on but it tested just fine.

Does anyone have any ideas on where to go from here?

Hmm, I'd like info as well. My AC & heat doesn't blow out of the front vents but come out of the defrost and lower vents just fine.

Air & AC when on just whistles. I have yet to try the resistor.

Have you looked into the flap that moves when you switch from the vent to defrost? seems to be another issue with it sticking

Solved

Turns out it was the blower motor. Got a new one on eBay for under $50 and problem solved
