I have an 05 and had the AC issue I have seen others post about where it only functioned on 1 level. I changed the blower motor resistor about a year ago and everything worked out great. Then a few moms ago, I get no air coming out of the vents at all. Sometimes there is a high pitched squeaking noise and it will come on temporarily but always goes back out. If you kick under the glove box it starts running but not be powerful. There is a constant rattling noise and it feels like the blower motor. If I change out the blower motor will this solve the problem or could it be something else?

Kicking or "malletizing" something to get it to work can often mean there is a wiring problem. The resistor controls blower speed by grounding out the motor through different resistors, so if that goes out the blower won't work. However, since you say it sounds like there is a rattling noise it could mean that the blower motor is shot. Either that or you have some sort of obstruction in the fan.

Remove the blower and see how it looks. If the shaft is wobbly or the motor smells, then replace it. Check for loose wiring while down there.
