Can getting brakes done cause air not to blow out of the vents any longer?
I just had my rear calipers, brake pads and rotors replaced on my 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid at a local Firestone. As soon as I turned on my car and went to turn on the heat no air blew out of the vents. Even on high nothing comes out. The heat and AC were working perfectly for the past 13 years that I've owned this car. I was literally using the heat on my way to the shop and all was well. It was supposed to be a 90-minute to no more than two-hour job, I was told. The job took four hours to complete. They are saying that there's no way that they could have done anything that would affect the air coming out. I find it hard to believe that after 13 years the four hours it was in the shop was when something went wrong. They took it back in and are saying they think it's the blower motor, though that are not certain. They said they did an electrical diagnostic, which I would imagine involves checking the fuses. Any ideas on what could have caused this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They could've accidentally disconnected a vacuum line or wiring for the heater/mode control or blower while checking the brake fluid level.
Could be a loose ground wire.
It's possible but unlikely. If you can't even hear the fan running then check all the fuses, it would probably be the cause.
It is theoretically possible, that the mechanic is GROSSLY incompetent or unethical and created a problem with the airflow, but it is EXTREMELY unlikely.
Trow the junk out
Not unlikely. The only thing they need to open the hood for is to service the brake reservoir when bleeding the brakes. OurAnd you need to understand some maintenance actions do not proceed by the book. Something can go wrong or they had a new hire work on your car.
See another garage to troubleshoot the problem. The blower might need replacement or it could be a stuck blend door or bad blend door motor.
No but a wound't be getting the heat fixed there sounds like a scam
Check for any loose wires disconnected from the blower motor assembly. Unfortunately, some shops rely on repeat business and will create problems just so they can fix them. It took me years to find an honest car mechanic after finding things broken in my engine that weren't broken when I brought it in. Taking auto shop in HS really paid off, if nothing else but to know what they're talking about.
- 1982 cm250 slipping gears, and not getting the right speed out of each gear? I have a 1982 honda cm250 bike. I recently had the motor rebuilt with new shift forks, etc. I got the bike back and it's doing this issue ( the same issue as when I took it into the shop). I was told that these are common issues with that year motor. I'm having a hard time believing this, as people say it is a great beginner bike.
- What can be the cause for my air to just stop working in my car? I have a 2007 Honda Civic… I have never had any type of problems with my car for the 6 years I have had it all i really had to do was a oil change and get my tires change… Now my A/C has went out.It was fine and blowing out cold air until this afternoon it has never done this before. What can be the reason for this happen.
- Car AC vents in front not working but sides are? I have a 1998 honda civic with 126k miles. In the front there's 4 vents where air comes out from and the two in the middle don't blow air out but the two on the driver and passenger side do blow out air. AC does work fine it cools but just doesn't blow out from front vents. Anyone know what might be causing this?
- Can a bad map sensor cause my car to not run? I have a 1990 honda civic with a b18a1 swap. My car idles fine when it wants to start but whenever I press the gas it sputters and putts it doesn't put out enough power to move the car. I have recently changed the fiac and fitv so that's hopefully not the problem. I smogged my car and I failed in the CO ratings so I'm running really rich with the occasional backfire. I'm just wondering if I have a bad map sensor.
