Honda Stream AC Blower Dying? Quick Diagnosis Guide

I had a similar issue with my 2008 Honda Civic (gas engine). The symptoms were exactly the same, weak airflow through the vents, particularly in the rear. When I took it to the garage, they diagnosed it as a faulty servo motor controlling the air distribution flap. It's a common wear-and-tear issue in these Honda models. In my case, they had to replace the servomotor and recalibrate the system. It wasn't a major repair, but it did require specific diagnostic equipment to properly fix it. The whole job took about 2-3 hours. Since then, the AC system has been working perfectly. If your Stream is showing these symptoms, it's likely the same issue. Make sure you find a mechanic who's familiar with Honda ventilation systems, that's crucial for this kind of repair.

Hey, thanks for sharing your experience! Really helpful to hear about your Civic's AC fix. The servo motor issue sounds exactly like what I'm dealing with in my Stream. Curious though, would you mind sharing what the repair ended up costing you? Also, has everything been running smoothly since then, or have you noticed any other quirks pop up? Always good to know what to watch out for!

Hey there! Just wanted to follow up about the cost question. After seeing my mechanic last week, they confirmed it was indeed the servo motor issue I mentioned before. The repair set me back 170€, mainly for fixing that pesky cable to the servomotor. And I've got good news! The AC's been working like a charm since the fix. The rear ventilation flap is now functioning perfectly, and the airflow is back to normal throughout the car. No more weak air in the back seats! Haven't noticed any other issues popping up either, so I'd say it was money well spent. If you're still dealing with similar symptoms, I'd definitely recommend getting it checked out. The repair wasn't nearly as complicated or expensive as I initially feared. Just make sure you find a mechanic who knows their way around Honda ventilation systems, it makes a huge difference! Let me know if you need any other info about the repair. Happy to help a fellow Honda owner out!

Thanks so much for all the detailed info! I bit the bullet and took my Stream to a mechanic yesterday. You were spot on, it was the servo motor! Total bill came to about 200 bucks, which honestly wasn't as painful as I expected. They actually showed me the old motor and explained everything, which was pretty cool. The best part? My AC is now blasting like it's brand new! Such a relief, especially with the back vents working properly again. I was honestly preparing for much worse news, so this was a pleasant surprise. The mechanic I found was actually really decent, straightforward, no unnecessary upselling, and got the job done in just a couple of hours. Thanks again for sharing your experience, it really helped me make the decision to get it fixed rather than putting it off. And hey, at least now I know what to look out for if it ever happens again! Really appreciate all the help!
