Default No blowing, air speed matches outside air.

So I'm new here, and I've joined because my crossfire is having a pretty weird problem. First, my cars air conditioning and vent system filled up with water after a hard rain. I learned that this is because a ton of leaves fell and clogged up the drain holes under the windshield. I thought I fixed the issue with towels and a box full of rice to help my car dehumidify. Then, just a couple days ago, my car stopped blowing air from the air conditioning or heater. I can't hear the fan blowing when I turn it on, but if I leave the heat on while driving, air starts blowing in even without the fan. It blows harder the faster I go, so I'm assuming it's because the car draws in from outside air. The biggest issue is that I can't use my heat when at a stop or traveling slowly. Does anyone know how to access the blower motor or has anyone dealt with this problem before?

You got the junk out of the area under the wind shield by taking the wipers arms and the black plastic cover off I take it?
If not then you are in for a repeat performance of Niagara falls under the dash.
Here is a PDF showing the drains under the black plastic cowl. There are three drains, the heater/AC air intake is on the passenger side and will let water into the cabin if the water rises too much. The PDF is about something else but one drain is shown there is notheron the opposite side and one in the middle, clean them out with a piece of wire in case crap has gone down the hose.

I thought I cleared the debris but then the water came in the passenger side again, albeit lighter. I think I'm going to have to make sure I did a thorough cleaning. Any idea about the air blowing though?

Yes.
There are 2 phillips screws securing the plastic cover above the passenger footwell.
Remove them and the cover.
then there is another plastic cover for the fan assembly, as I recall you slide two catches to remove that.
Then you can get to the Torx screws that mount the fan assembly.

You will probably have to replace the resistor module, and possibly the fan motor.

Might as well replace the cabin filter while you are in there.

( be prepared to have a severe kink in the neck before you are done )

Look here, it shows where the filter is and the heater motor is behind the filter.
Look here it shows the heater in position.

Yes I’ve dealt with the water part... I’ll get 3-5 inches after a big storm.
Move cleaned out the holes under my windshield, yes they were clogged with Debris. It’s still happening...

my AC won’t work at all! Nothing comes on & I don’t here the blower motor engaging.??
so have you figured anything out??
