You know what I love about this video - you actually *show* all the pain in the ass challenges involved in a simple replacement i.e. slicing out the motor with a knife. Instead of other who use a jump cut edit to make themselves look better. "her her, look how easy that was" ppfft liars. Respect man.
Thank you very much
This was so very helpful. Professional, but done in a very homestyle way that a common man like me can understand. Thank you so much. And I am following you!
Thank you very much that was the goal to help people that have no experience working on cars help you save money by doing it yourself I am glad it helped
2-1/2 years later you are still saving us money. 2006 HHR blower just died one night. No squeak, no noise, just quit. Watched your video. Checked resistor and Fuse (both) and they were all good. I accessed the wiring harness from lowering the glovebox door and the electricity was flowing. Only thing left was the blower. Went to Advance Auto, in stock for $92. Went online and found a coupon for 20% off. $78 out the door. 40 minutes later I have full A/C. Used a small paring knife to do the job. Water leak was obvious and will do that next. $520 at the dealer. Saved a couple of paychecks. Thank you is not enough to say to you, sir.
I can't begin to thank you enough for the mention of the B3 fuse. Like you , I replaced the resistor and 3 days later nothing. I was watching your video on how to replace the blower motor when I saw that part. Had I NOT seen it, I would have invested in the new motor, gone through all the grief of replacing it , & still had nothing. I would have never looked for that fuse and have had no idea about looking for it. I can't imagine what I would have had to go through for a fix. If there was a Hall Of Fame for RUclips advice, I would nominate you. THANKS SO MUCH !!!!!!!!
sorry for the delay the channel was deleted just restored thank you very much for the great comment I am glad to hear it helped
Just had to replace this myself (thanks for the video!) and when you are putting it back in, very funny how it cuts from the 2nd screw to "ok, so that back screw is the worst" LOL. F that screw, I only did 2 also - and I learned i need a drill. Thanks again for the video!
Glad the video helped and thank you for letting me know I did all the screws lol I just cut it out for the sake of time no need to watch me fight it but I did get it in
I watched a lot of these on RUclips, yours was the best, most detailed and most informative, thank you for the trouble of documenting this!
Thank you for the tip on the fuse location. It all makes sense. The water leaked into the motor causing the bearings to begin to fail. The motor got harder to turn. The motor drew more current to run. The increased current failed the resistor. (The resistor is inserted in the path to the motor windings so as to provide the different speeds). Finally the current increased to the point that it exceeded the fuse rating and the fuse blew. My advice would be if you only have high speed on the blower, you have a failed resistor. Replace the resistor and the motor at the same time. If you don't, you will eventually be under the dash a second time. I admire your determination!
I had already ordered a blower motor online, and planned on having a friend do the installation when the part came in. After watching this video, I bought a blower locally and did the install with my Leatherman Tool and a nut driver. Thank you for the detailed information. Much Appreciated!
Awesome glad the video helped and thank you for letting me know it worked for you its always good to hear when a video helped out
Hey man, Thanks so much for posting these tutorial videos! I just replaced the fuse, as well as the resistor and the motor(both of which were badly water damaged!) in my 2010 HHR. Now I'll investigate the water leakage thing too. I wouldn't have imagined doing it myself, but then I saw your videos and changed my mind. Keep it up. All the best to you and yours!
That was a very good job and nice filming. The fuse being burnt or blown makes sense as when the bearing finally locked up, the system did some little arc welding (the smell in the motor ) and finally blew the fuse, saving the wiring harness.
Identifying it as #4 in the panel is a big help. Viewers, if you just replace the fuse and the blower works but blows it again.... Don't just keep replacing the fuse if it blows again. You'll eventually overheat the wires and have a bigger problem.
GM engineers are a "special" bunch! Thanks for the video.
Lol yes they are. Thank you for watching and the comment hope it helped
Спасибо тебе мужик за подробное видео! У тебя руки ростут из правильного места😁.Привет из России✌️🇷🇺
Nice to find an intelligent guide thank you
Thank you my friend. I just replaced the blower on my 2011 hhr. I bought the part from O'riley. What a nightmare. First kit was missing the 6 screws. The second one had 2 screws that wouldn't allow the cap to go down enough on the blower to reconnect the power. The third one was a charm. I saved roughly $425 because of your video. Thank you!!
Thanks for taking the time to share your HVAC FAN replacement video......VERY helpful........especially since I have the same multi tool!
You saved my life with this video!!!! Thank you.
omg tytyty my a/c works again and I did this all by my self and I watched your vid you should be a teacher.
Great video and extremely helpful! Thank you for showing these shortcuts and how to cut the old blower motor out with a knife. I would''ve never, ever figured that one out. Thank you so much. You made me look like superman to my daughter-in-law for fixing her blower. Woohoo!
L2theW It really, really did!
Thank you. Finished the job very quickly thanks to you. Bravo!
I bought my 2006 HHR in 2008.Since then I've had to fix or replace so many things on this car I have lost count. In Dec. 2015 my wife came home with the HHR and called me on our land line while she sat in the car in our driveway. The door handle had snapped off in her hand. I went out to open the door for her. I gave her the Honda to drive to work the next day while I drove the HHR until I fixed the handle 2 weeks later. During that time the blower was only working on off or full blast. Your video showed me it was probably the resistor card. I ordered the part and just 2 days before the part came in the blower stopped altogether. It was running fine just the day before (albeit only on high) so it never occurred to me that it was the fan cage itself. I had that console apart several times checking things out (the fuses, the switch etc) and nothing worked. I drove that car for over a year with not heat or A/C. I saw your video on the fan just this summer. I ordered the part but because of vacation and the weather (I have to work on it outside) or other chores I wasn't able to work on it until today. It took me about 2 1/2 hours but I now have working A/C and heat in this HHR. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for this video! It means a lot to my family to have saved hundreds of dollars to do this ourselves! God bless.
Thank u so much for this video. People like u have saved me so much money. It's pretty much always a pain in the ass to work on cars but having a video tutorial makes it so much easier. Good work sir. Btw, first thing i checked was the fuse lol. Start with the cheapest/easiest solution first. Took a very long time to find the right fuse tho. U are def correct about it being an odd fuse... and mine was fine... so that sucked, anyway, great video, keep working hard, and thank u. Can't wait to have AC with 3 kids in 100° weather.
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife i never take my car to a dealer anyways. Always cost so much more than a regular mechanic for some reason. I try to dyi if i can. And videos like yours always save me tons of money. And they make it easier. Thank u for the video.
Thank you sir. Mine just went out today so I'll be changing it this weekend. Now I got a general idea on how to go about this.
thank you this made it way easier
Thanks for the tip on the blower motor resistor. It saved me a lot of time in diagnostics. Got'er done in about 15 minutes.
Dude, you are my new hero! Thanks a lot for this video!
Thx! It looks like it's going to help me out next weekend when I take care of my car.
SO.... This IS the way to do it. I watched the entire video and the multi-tool knife is the way to go. I tried some heavy duty x-acto knives and they're just not heavy enough. I found the fuse issue as well and thank you for he heads up on that. I also ended up replacing the Resistor as well. BUT now it works great. I found my blower at NAPA and their unit had the connector on a wire instead of hard in the casing. The casing also had the bracket built in so no moving of parts needed. Motor $98 and Resistor about $45 in the Dallas area.
Thank you again for the excellent information!
Thank you for the video.I have a 2006 HHR looks like water got in there also. My blower motor just went out used to only work on high so now going to try changing it. Thank you.
You lost the resistor that controls the lower speeds too. That is how it starts water leaks on the resistor ruins it then rusts out the blower bearings. I have a video on that its easy and fairly inexpensive for the resistor and I have a video on how to fix the water leak check out the how to playlist. Glad the video helped.
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife thank you
Thanks for putting it out there . YOU SAVED ME TIME AND MONEY ! Mahalo (THANKS)
Thanks for the tutorial. I replaced my butyl patch on my '07, I was getting more rain inside my car than outside. Now I'm replacing the blower motor and resistor today, I have the cabin air filter on order and I'll replace that when I get it. Thanks again for the videos. Makes this easier and a lot less expensive.
Thanks for the video, it was very helpful, especially the tip about checking the bcm fuse.
I just bought a used 2006 hhr and it has this same exact problem. Thank you so much for this video as i will be doing this most likely this weekend. I live in las vegas and the upcoming forecast calls for very high temps lol. As of now it works on the high setting but only if im going a consistent speed on the highway. In town it cuts out all the time and doesnt get the chance to actually cool me off.
thanks you saved me a lot of headaches
excellent video! everything you said has happened to my 2006 hhr .
same exact problem for me and thank you for the tip on the fuse
Great video thanks for taking the time to make this video
Thank you Sr...for this truly informative video....
Great tutorial! Keep going, thank you!
You earned your self a subscriber buddy thanks
First the blower only worked on high, then not at all, then the passenger side carpet was soaked. It ended up the cover on the access hole on the compartment side had come completely unsealed over time. The water went right to the motor and resistor, then eventually the floor. I have to replace everything, and yes, that screw in the back of the motor mount is a real pain!
The fuse was the problem with mine also, Saved me some hassle. But now the resistor I replaced a few months ago is now bad again.
Tks man! Helped me a lot
Awsome! Glad it helped and thank you for letting me know
Great video and information thank you. On the Back screw you can use a 90 degree driver on your drill with the socket attachment works like a charm
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife also was going to mention one other thing i found on mine was the water caused my plugs to corrode so i took my chances and used a wire bristle tooth brush and seems to be holding for now until i get new connectors
Doing this tomorrow! Thanks!
I will look like Scotty working on a warp coil!
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife I will keep you updated! My first look will be tonight, and I will try the fuse first..
Dude! You rock! It cut out nice and easy went back in just as easy. I used my Gerber too! Thanks for the video. My friend now has air in his car! Reno in no place for an oven!
Thanks again!
I duct taped the seal under the plastic shield under the hood as well, the plastic had warped up to let water in... The motor was burned up, water damage...I also used silicone caulking to seal motor back it, as well as the retaining circle.
I really like the name of your channel. When I turned it on I expected a person with a Russian accent. So you a Ruski? You don't sound like a Ruski!!
I am the Vet (veteran) my wife is Russian (Ruski) she is in plenty of videos she has the accent 🙂
great video than you so much for the tips good job.
Thank you for this
Have this same scenario with new resistor, works for a week or 2 then nothing. Waiting for daughter to get home and going to check that expensive fuse. Thx
L2theW
Just checked all the fuses and they are good. She said driving home warmer temperature, it worked. Cold this morning it did not work. Where is the relay for this blower?
Is it the large relay in passenger floor area left foot kick plate on transmission hump?
I looked this up and they all said
A/C relay but fuse cover said HVAC. Going to test this but sounds like a cold hot issue.
I watched your video about the resistor and my wife's car had the same problem, my big trouble was getting down there so I could see what I was doing. I better stick with my Subaru.. lol
thanks for the video.
great job thank you
My 2010 just needed a blower motor replacement the resistor was fine but mine is dedicated from the fuse for HVAC the BCM fuse Does not exist within the fuse box its located in a different spot on my HHR
Thank you
thanks for very informative video. I just done the water leak repair now blower motor is making noise so I'm sure it'll be next.
Great video, made fixing the girlfriends car so much easier
Awesome Video ! What motor do you recommend buying ? $? With Attachment Ring ?
Any other advice after you have done this ?
I really appreciate you posting this and Thanks for your Help !
THANKS BRA !!
Good video ! On that back screw , could you install a plastic screw/ machine screw stud, before putting fan in ?
Just replaced the one in our car. The hardest part of fixing it, is just squeezing into the tight space between the seat and glove box.
Great vid. Did I miss it? What size screws? Thx
Well I did a good job thank to your video in replacing my blower motor. The resistor threw me off but glad to know it’s an easy replace if come down to it. But I’m upset on my end because I still have to turn the a/c on high just to use it and it clicks when I turn on the car. Friends said it could be the “blend door motor/actuator
L2theW it only works when I turn it on high but when I start the car up it does a clicking/tapping sound.
L2theW awesome thank you
You do no it's simple to fix the old motor.. You should use your old one and give it a try.. Just pull it apart clean the brushes up with fine sand paper. Lightly grease and put it back together.. Brushes can be a little tricky sometimes to put back in but not to bad.. I do it all the time.. Doint get me wrong tho you did a excellent job.. Great video..
Thank you soooooo much i didn't by my self i am 54 years old
You saved me a ton $. The dealer wanted 800 to do that. I had the fuse problem too. Where can I send you a six pack?
where did you buy the replacement blower? great video.
I should have went with an OEM blower motor like you did. I took a chance and bought one on Amazon and when I went to put the cover on it the back of the new blower motor popped off. It obviously wasn't crimped on correctly from the factory. I tried to put it back together but I don't trust it. I have a replacement coming tomorrow but I'm not hopeful. As someone who sells car parts for a living I can tell you the aftermarket blower motors are usually crap. I would definitely spend the extra $ and go OEM. Now my car is all torn apart and I can't fix it because of junk quality parts. Plus this listing had no reviews. If this one is the same way I'm going to get a refund and buy an AC Delco from work....
That sucks at least Amazon has a good return policy. I mostly use Rockauto for my parts they usually have the best prices even with shipping and you can go to retailmenot look up rockauto get a 5 percent coupon they always have it available good luck with the next one I hope it works
RUclips turns you into a mechanic easily? HA! HA! Thanks man, not going to the mechanic on this one.
Very helpful, thanks! I replaced the blower motor today, but it is still not working (is not getting any power). The relay was weak, so I replaced that as well. Tested the switch, it's good. Checked all the fuses, including the BCM3, and they are also good. What the heck am I missing? Mine is a 2010.
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife I will check that next! And I will check out the forum! Thank you!
Thanks for the video, it was really helpful! I kind of wished that you would have left the camera rolling the whole time you're cutting it out so we could preview exactly how much of a hassle it is and how long it took you to do it! I'm taking a break right now, I'm halfway through cutting the back side saving the front side for last because it will be easiest. I hope!
I cut, then took a break and then cut. Probably took me accumulatively 5-7 minutes to complete it. Reinstallation was pretty tricky...I put a bead of silicone to prevent airflow loss from leaks...then reaaplied it thicker to help sorta hold it up while starting the first screw. In hindsight I probably should have threaded the screws in first so I could have hand threaded them. I used a long pry bar to hold it in place.
I also pulled that plastic underhood cover and found where the leak you mentioned would be. The glue had failed right where it met the windshield. I blew it out with air, dried it with paper towel, and put a generous amount of 100% silicone all around and made extra efforts to get it in possible leak zones
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife BTW I understand totally about why you shortened the video. Maybe to appease both person types, when the cutting got monotonous insert subtitles that say "jump to 7:30 to skip this boring part or keep watching to see how long it takes in real time"
Just an idea...don't shoot please!
Instead of using a knife to cut out the old motor, take a hacksaw blade, tape up half of it to hold onto, make an initial cut with a knife, and then use the hacksaw blade to finish it. Goes real fast, and easy. And if your prone to cutting yourself, well..... make sure to position the blade so the cutting stroke is on the pull, not push. Easy Peasy!
When your 67 years old, it's not so easy to get under there. :-) Also Gap didn't matter to me, put a bead of silicone sealer around it for a seal. No leaks, no noise. Thanks for your video though, as I was stumped as to how to remove it in the first place! What they won't do to save a dime!
Thank you for posting this video. My ac works as long as I'm moving or on high fan! But, it doesn't blow while the car is stopped!
Is this still a faulty motor please and thank you!
Sounds like a bad resistor
I have replaced my blower motor and also my ac controls and my blower motor resistor and still am not getting anything coming out of the vents even the heater is not working and i checked all the fuses what am i missing?
Hello it keeps burning the fuse..
What did you think is the problem??
Thanks am going through this issue myself. Need to get the parts. My thoughts as well about the search, being a big guy too.
Can the replacement motor be oriented for easier access to screws from what you went though?
This can occur on newer models, apparently, when the drain hose clogs up and is not easy to access without lifting the car on on side to get at it on the firewall.
I have a 2008. As researched no plastic piece under cowl. Must condensation run off from the a/c I guess. Mother stopped other day. With check the fuse box and move forward.
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife Water buildup on passenger floor, the condensation far as I can estimate.
Thanks for your input.
Hello sir, great help here. I got an '06 with no blower motor now. Going to check that fuse. Where did you get that replacement motor? Thanks.
Rockauto.com they have the best prices you can pick them up at any auto parts store
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife Thank you sir!
@@03redrubi you're welcome
Okay i know about the fuse and im trying to remove it but its not budging so what do i have to do in order to remove it without breaking it.
L2theW i used some pliers and it worked thank you so much i would have been lost if it wasnt for you and the video.
Quick question.
What is how much time did it take from cutting it out until you are finished bolting it back in.
I am hearing shops charging 3 hours labor. Is that correct? Your video makes me think under an hour.
OK thank you.
I guess when the rain quits here in Tennessee I will dive in.
Starting by sliding the seat as far back as it will go.
I went with the Carquest unit that has the flange made on. ($90 @ Advance Auto Parts) I pulled the seat and DANG that made it sooo much easier. Instead of knife cutting around I used it to make a hole and used a hacksaw blade with the side handle and it took about two minutes from punching the hole until the old one was laying on my chest. I had my son standing right there handing me parts and tools. (That was a life saver) From pulling the seat until I bolted it back down was 25 minutes at the most.
Local Chevy dealer quoted me $567 to do it. Saying the book calls for 3 hours labor. IF and I mean IF I ever swap one out again That will be the way to go.
Thanks for the video and replying. It made the job soo much easier.
I replaced the blower motor, resistor, and fuse under the hood with no luck. The front dash shows power and cool air comes out if I'm driving fast enough for air to circulate but the blower motor won't blow on any speed. Any suggestions?
Ace Ace did you ever figure out what was wrong? im having same issues
My issue is if you turn on the air and it doesn't matter what setting nothing happens and the previous owner has changed the blower but the blower doesn't kick on or anything.. I'm going to check for power in the wires to the blower but I'm little lost between of its the switches or blower or something else.. Also has anyone else have issue when you turn the car off and the motor still runs for 3 or 4 secs after the car is turned off and out the ignition?
Where did you buy the motor from with bracket
Rockauto.com
What type of screws for blower motor for my 06 HHR do I use.my replacement motor didn't come with any screws.plz help?
Just find some selt tapping screws that fit the hole snug there is nothing very specific about them if you dont have any take the plate to any hardware store find one that fits the hole doesn't need to be very long. Sorry I dont have an exact size giod thing is its just plastic and the screwa make the threads
Thank u
You are welcome
Hope someone sees this. My HHR the fan wont turn off. Every single setting from low to high it just blows high. I have replaced the resistor and the hvac relay. Could it be the actual climate control switch knob its self? Or what else?
Wow that is a mess. My guess would be the control panel itself. I have heard from a lot of owners if it going bad. Only other possible scenario I can think of is a relay is stuck open but generally it shouldn't bypass the resistor. It doea seem like the control panel failed if it wont adjust anything pull it out and see if when you unplug it the fan stops. As power always runs through there its not a definite it could help show there if there is a problem elsewhere if it works when its unplugged. I have a video on how to remove it as well its not hard at all. Check out my how to playlist
They did not fix the butyl patch for the 2007. I have one and it is very flimsy and need replacing. The fan only blows on high.
Why didn't you show the cutting most important part
I did show the cutting no difference cutting 1 inch v the whole thing make the video too long and boring
There was water in mine
Water leak is a common problem with these cars it takes out the blower and resistor I have a video on how to fix the leak :)
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife thanks I just got the new blower motor and I’m going to watch that video and how come the new blower motor is bigger and looks different then the old one?
It could be a design change that happens when they find faults with the design or they gave you the wrong one. Just as longbas it fits and seals the hole it should be good.
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife where’s your video how to fix the leak?
@@kcthabrat go to playlist and its under how to
Just further proof that GM makes throw-away cars. My motor has been whining lately, not looking forward to this job.
