    2 years out of the TSB fix. Brilliant... Anyway, I really like your videos. They are precise and straight forward. I also appreciate that you give a tool rundown in the beginning. Your videos have really helped me out with my 04 Titan. Unfortunately I’m in the rust belt so the repairs don’t go so nice. Thank you!

    Than you for this video. It was one of many that helped me fix my HVAC motor problem. Turns out, my problem was the motor itself...
    My 2012 Canyon HVAC motor was intermittent, works one day, then not the next...one week just fine, next week dead. Finally, it just seemed to die. It's been doing this for a few months now.
    I went through all these online instructions with every possibility (harness, connectors, resistor, grounding, voltage, fuse, relay, etc.). But, I didn't find any burnouts or corrosion or grounding problems at all. I finally chose to check the voltage and ground continuity at the motor connector with a voltmeter. And, sure enough, it was also fine. (As I later figured out, I should have tested the voltage and ground at the motor connector FIRST, not last.)
    Well, the wiring tested just fine, so that meant my motor was the problem. Since it's too late on a Saturday to get to the dealership, I decided to crack open the motor myself. It's a bit tricky with the 3 plastic locking tabs (but, you can break these and the 3 screws will still hold it together just fine). Otherwise, just 5 screws and 2 nuts will get you into the motor housing. It turned out that my motor was filthy inside with a thick, sticky, brown dust! I blew it out then pulled the bushings aside and cleaned the armature contacts with alcohol. I reassembled the motor and plugged it in - WORKS PERFECTLY!
    So, the lesson is:
    1 - Check power at the motor FIRST!
    2 - If you have 12 volts (black lead) and ground continuity (orange lead) at the motor connector then you have a motor problem...Fix the motor.
    3 - If, on the other hand, you don't have 12 volts or ground continuity at the motor connector THEN check the harness, connectors, grounding, resistor, etc...
    and 4 - If you can clean out your motor and it works afterward, you just saved $60-100.

    God bless your brother I really appreciate you taking the time to put out this video you’ve not only save my truck you have saved my sanity. The diagram you illustrated was simply genius because I had no idea that those lines were alphabetize in a certain order .
    Again God bless and thank you for saving me large amounts of money doled out to an electrician to fix or repair this problem.

  • @ross9481
    @ross9481 5 лет назад +1

    Aaron Hines:
    I’ve also replaced one before. Seeing the wear on the resistor’s connector makes me wonder if applying an electrical paste to the connector pins would eliminate any arching to the pins from heating /cooling and preserve the contacts thus preventing further replacement in time?

    had a question. Is it necessary to bolt the resistor back into place? This was the hardest part to replace because of its location. If I have to replace again, it would seem easier to not bolt it down unless there is a reason that I am unaware. By the way the video was perfect. It showed me exactly what to do.

    • @bradlehman1537
      @bradlehman1537 2 года назад +1

      I did this in July and it looks like I have to do it again now (11-21) not even 6 month later! I wonder if the motor is over drawing it, I don't have an amp gauge that could read it but this seems to be happening to a lot of folks.

  • @maulerstradesecrets261
    @maulerstradesecrets261 2 года назад +2

    It's common issue due to the ground wire near the air filter is mounted on a painted surface and will continue to short the resistor if not fixed.

  • @allthingsunrelated2919

    Need some assistance! I have this same issue. Blower speed ‘4’ is the only one that works. However, I pulled out the cable and disconnected it from underneath the glove compartment. I did see it was burnt out a bit. I wanted to confirm this was the problem, so I turned the truck back on and turn the blower switch to ‘4’ and it still turned on. The rest of the speeds course didn’t. But why would the switch still work at ‘4’ if I disconnected the connector? I was going to replace the toggles themselves in the dashboard until I found this video. Now I don’t know what the problem is. Any help is great before I start tearing my truck apart!

      There’s a ground right next to the air filter and where its supposed to be grounded it’s painted so you have to take it off and I just scrapped away the paint with a knife so it grounds correctly
