    Hi we have 2 prius in the family :)
    i noticed that my 2007 prius fan blows weaker than the other 2005 prius.

    even with the ac on its weak in comparison to the other car. Any advise what the culprit could be?
    i opened the hood and check if there were any leaves blocking any holes and didnt see any.

    thanks in advance!

    Have you checked the cabin filter?

    It could be the blower fan located behind the glove box on the bottom. Since you have two Prii, you could remove the one from the 05 and put it in the 07 as a test. I had to replace mine after 6 years. Worked great after that... It is held in by four screws and a wire harness/clip. Not a difficult swap!
