    So, within the last 30 days I noticed the temps on my a.c. getting warmer and warmer. This isn't so concerning because I can take it to my mechanic and test for leaks, faulty check valves, etc.....BUT what I've also noticed the blower fan isn't blowing as strong also. It's blowing at all the different speeds but is just very reduced. Is the temp issue related to the blower strength? Anyone experience this or know what it's about? Thanks in advance!

    Check your cabin air filter and the fan housing. It's behind the bottom glove compartment

    Forgot to ask......can a dirty filter effect the temp of the a.c.? Meaning, will my air blow colder besides blowing stronger?

    Dirty filter affects airflow.
