Thanks guys! I am not feeling air blow out of the vents. The damper is not in it but feels like it is. I cant seem to figure out what could be wrong but have an AC guy coming tommorow. It going to be an expensive service call but I just dont know what else to do.
The air isnt blowing out, even on high. On low it does nothing at all. Previously, it has blown out hard enough to feel it when you put your hand close, what could be causing it do to do this???? Everything seems to be working fine, squirrel cage is going, pads are getting wet etc.... I dont know how to get to the inside of the damper or where the vents are. We checked all the breakers, and reset the electric....
I have windows cracked in every room in the house. The toilet paper does stick against the window however.... not sure how open the window should be?
If anyone can help me figure this out on my own and thus save an $85 service calll I would be so happy

Your blower motor has a fan belt, it may have come off.
Your blower motor may have failed.
You sure you were using the correct switch, sometimes they are not labeled? But typically they have three switches:
- Fan ON/OFF
- Fan Speed HIGH/LOW
- Water Pump ON/OFF
If you have "Fan ON/OF" turned off, then "Fan Speed HIGH/LOW" will have no effect, because the motor is off.
Dampers: Usually a slide in damper which shuts off air flow, and the usually rotating dampers above the furnace which rotate from "Summer" to Winter positions.
But if you had air flowing it should not be a damper issue.

Rich, you forgot to mention the other possibility:
Sometimes, the NM giant desert centipede can sometimes go into cool, moist places and build a huge nest. After having a litter of babies, the huge pile of squirming insects can have a tendency to block the airflow.
Don't worry, as soon as the little centipedes are weaned and about 3" long, they will start to disperse and airflow should resume in the system.
The only problem after that is finding the "little lovlies" all over the house, in your shoes, in your bed, etc.
One of those geckos discussed in a different thread should solve that ( new ) problem.

On a different subject, I was just reviewing the posts and found that I missed this one:

Strange you should mention that. Had a 6" Centipede on the ceiling in my office yesterdy. Had a 4" Centipede in the bathroom about two weeks ago. That makes four centipedes in this house in 10 years.
but seriously, the belt is on and all appears to be fine. I have to have the guy come out, it just isnt working. Just got a check to reimburse me for my recent car break in, theft. I was looking forward to replacing my stolen nice leather purse but guess thats going to get the swamp cooler fixed....
