Gotta be a hose loose (or plugged) between aspirator motor and sensor. Motor definately has suction? Not a loose impeller on the motor shaft? My hose in the "A" pillar is fairly stout rubber, but maybe with the heat here recently, yours has collapsed?
I checked the aspirator fan...I even tried a new one...it has good suction at the tip of the fan.

When I removed the overhead console I cleared some dust from the sensor and checked the hose.

What I think mya have happened is that when I had a cell phone kit, the installer ran the wire from the cell phone kit unit under the front passenger carpet area, up the right hand A pillar and then to a point right under the rearview mirror, where the mike for the cellphone was installed.

I have a sneaking suspicion that int he process the hose was either pinched or "poked" or something.

Do you know how to remove the A pillar cover to check the hose?

I think that's where the problem may be...

Enjoy the nice beach weather.
