Default ack! it's 108 and my A/C is on the fritz!

i've had this happen twice on me in the last week and am not sure what's causing it and if it's one issue or two seperate issues. after startup the a/c does not blow at all, no air movement through any of the settings with a/c engaged or disengaged. after driving for a few minutes it will come to life and start blowing but the a/c will then be warm. after a few more minutes the a/c will finally get back to blowing ice cold air. the two times i've experienced this in the past week have been the exact same. over the winter there were a couple of instances in which it would not blow anything at startup (obviously this was with heat though so no idea on a/c at that time) and after a brief minute everything would kick in.

is the warm a/c a direct result of the blower not functioning? why is the blower acting so funny?

thanks for the help. just wanted to check here before taking it to a shop.

cheers

EDIT: no DTC code either

If the bower motor doesn't work properly the AC won't function correctly either.

Most likely cause for the blower motor not working is a faulty blower transistor, or a the blower motor itself.

With the blower on and not blowing air out of the vents, smack the bottom of the blower motor to see if the motor speeds up. If it does, you need another blower motor.

If the motor doesn't speed up you'll need a transistor.
