A/C turns on but won't blow any air!

My a/c will turn on but it won't blow air nor would it blow heated air. Any ideas? Thanks! Is there a ground wire to the A/C? Like on the pass. side next to the fuse box? There is a ground there but the bolt won't tighten like the other ground bolts.

When I turn it on, I only hear the motorized flap thing that goes up and down.

I never touched the A/C but the only thing I touched was the ground bolt next to the fuse box but like I said, it won't go as tight at it was before I messed with it. But I'm not too sure if that goes to the a/c

Thanks

I have an 08 F150 STX

Doesn't much matter where it goes to, if it's a ground wire, it has to be tight!!! Can you REMOVE it and find out why it won't tighten like it was before? There are NO grounds that you can leave loose. Why did you remove it in the 1st place?

If i were you i would take it somewhere to get diagnosed before you start messin with it too much.

might be a blower motor, but you wouldnt think an 08 would have this issue. check all fuses/relays?

I took it off because I was going to ground my cb to that nut (closest one) and then I when I tighted it, I guess the actual slot where the bolt goes stripped so now it won't tighten and I can't get the bolt out

I got the bolt out with a screwdriver to pry it as I loosen it.


This is the ground that I'm trying to ground. I put in a tad bit bigger bolt but it did the same thing. Everytime I tighten it, I tend to over tighten so I keeps stripping inside. I'm pretty sure these ground wires are linke to the a/c motor
