How to fix a Noisy Blower Motor AC Heat Fan

- Quiet a loud blower motor. If your interior AC/ Heat fan (blower motor) is making noise like a card in a bicycle spoke, then you probably just need to clean out the blower motor which is easy and free. Leaves and debris gets in the blower motor and make a clicking noise when the fan hits the leaves. I will also show you how to clean the Evaporator to get cooler AC and get rid of any smells you might have coming from your fan. This video will also show you how to replace a blower motor.

Dude! Seriously thank you so much for creating this channel, you have helped me and my wife save so much money while we're putting ourselves through school. Keep it up man, you're helping tons of people!
Awesome! That’s exactly why I made the channel!
Agreed. Thanks so much! not only have you saved me $, but I also learned a lot more following and doing your steps in your video.
Indeed!!!
Agreed
Yes he is
***** I was thinking about cleaning the condenser. Do you think it is worth it?
As for the blower motor. I filmed this video first then the blower motor resistor video. I just happened to edit the other video first because with this video I had to retake some audio and video I messed up on.
this is similar to what happened to me. i wish you made this a month ago. i had a piece of carpet dampening in the blower fan.
Aw, dang. Well at least you know now and it is fixed now!
го
Yeah fix the condensor too
ChrisFix hey chrisfix I wanted to know why my a/c isn't blowing cold out of all my vents only the passenger side vent blows colder I replaced Compressor ,condenser expansion valve ,dryer and evaporator it's a 1998 honda civic
I just watched your video. My blower was making a nose after I changed the filter. I was able to stick my hand in the fan and I pulled out 2 small leaves. After I did that I turned air on an noise was gone!! Thanks you save me money!! Can't believe that 2 small leaves could make so much noise!!
I did this to my brothers car and it WORKED!!! I was so happy because before it wasn't even blowing any air and making so much noises! This video fixed the entire problem. When I showed my brother he was so happy!
Thanks dude, this was the best blower Motor video on RUclips. No fluff, straight to the point, well explained and well captured.
Thanks a lot!
Dude u literally have the answers to all the car troubles I've been having so far lol. This is literally the 3rd time u've saved me from expensive repairs. Thanks!
Musicizmyremedy Haha, awesome man! I am glad my videos are helpful!
Thank you sir! I've learned a lot from you over the years. Who needs a dad when you got RUclips. Cheers to you Chris Fix. You da mann!!
I'm a single mom who does NOT work on cars, I've just barely been learning to put some small pieces of furniture together. my Ford Explorer Sport has just recently began making that noise and I can't afford to take it to a shop. with this video "in my tool belt" I'm going to take a shot at fixing this issue myself. Chris, THANK YOU! I'm praying that with this video and others you have I can save a lot of money by becoming a do it myself kind of mom.
+Tanya Doyle Awesome Tanya! I am glad the videos are helpful!
I do have one question, how can I find out where mine is at? I have a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport. It just began making this noise a couple of weeks ago which is funny because my daughter and I just moved to a home almost a year ago that has an ungodly amount of leaves in the driveway. Lol so I'm pretty sure it just needs cleaned out. I pray that's all it needs
+Luis Payan, I cannot reply to your comment for some reason, so hopefully you see this. I would check your cruise control fuse because that is easy to do, but I would check your vacuum lines going to the cruise control. They might have fallen off or be cracked.
ChrisFix nice video like always Chris...if u ever have the time can you do a video on changing out the cabin air filter on a pt cruiser.. if not thanks anyways for all your awesome videos!
I might be able to do that one. Right now I am parting out my PT cruiser but the cabin is still in tact. In a month or two, remind me if I havent made the video!
Cool I'll be sure to give u a reminder.. thanks!

ChrisFix could you do a expansion valve replacement
Hi Chris. I just wanted to say thank you for the incredibly helpful DIY videos. A couple years back, I bought an '08 Pontiac G6 with some minor quirks. An AC vent was broken, the passenger-side windshield squirter wasn't working. Also anytime the AC or heater turned on, it made an obnoxious chirping sound. All these things sounded like complicated and expensive things to fix. So I recently started to watch a majority of your vids and I realized that working on cars is a lot easier than it looks. I've replaced the AC vent(it wasn't connected to anything, just pops out simple). And the windshield squirter nozzle was clogged, so I just replaced it with a new OEM nozzle and its working like a champ. Now I'm going to attempt to tackle the chirping sound that my blower motor makes very soon. Now I'm not saying that I'm a hotshot mechanic but Chrisfix, you've made working on cars simple to understand and saved me a lump sum. Thank you!
Awesome! I took my car to the dealership (while under warranty) to fix my blower motor that sounded like a baseball card in bicycle spokes and they couldn't find an issue. After the dealership trip, there was a new squeaking noise coming from under the glove box. I found the blower motor secured with only 2 of the 3 screws! I just watched this and found out it was due to fan wobble. Missing screw replaced, fan tightened, all good! Thanks, Chris! You rock! Definitely subscribed!
This guy is a PRO great teacher. EXCELLENTA!!!!
Michelle Taddeo Thanks a lot Michelle!
Hi
Chrisfix come to repairmy dads old sold in garage car(AUDI A3!!!!)
Awesome video!!
I think I can do this!
You explained the steps so clearly and easy!
Your a Great Teacher as Michelle Taddeo said
Chrisfix is a wizard. He makes it look so easy. I pretty much had to do a magic trick to get my blower motor out and in without removing the reservoir.
I'm kinda surprised I was able to.
Thanks for making these videos! I went from knowing next to nothing about cars to doing many major repairs myself from watching your videos. Saved me thousands!
I had the same issue with mine! The last reservoir bolt was inaccessible underneath the lower air filter box. Ended up breaking my fan when pulling it out, thankfully crazy glue and zip ties work as a temporary fix!
Another great video. Had no idea some a/c noises were as simple as this. Also, no idea about the evaporator getting so dirty.
+John Edwards Thanks John!
Years later and this video is finally needed for me! Thanks ChrisFix!
Another great video. I've learned so much from your videos, and you make it really easy to understand.
i have the same problem, i thought i need it to drop the dash! you save me a lot of money . thank you very much.
Another great vid to watch and learn, thank you for taking the time Chris!
***** Thanks Jose! Glad you liked it!
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you Chris for such an awesome video! This is probably the best instructional video I have ever found on anything and I just wanted you to know that. 😊 so thank you again!!!
YOU ROCK! Perfect camera work, clear easily understood instruction, and no wasting time. Perfection THANK YOU!!
Great video Chris!! I love the detailed step by step instructions you give that are so simple & easy to understand. Many videos I've watched neglect the fact that not all of us are mechanically inclined & they tend to leave out 'the little steps' that they figure are assumed, but your video completely helped me understand this fix from start to finish !! Thanks for your assistance 👍😁
Great video Chris! Another reason to clean leaves and debris off your windshield air intake area. I see so many car repair videos where people just ignore the pile of leaves on their car.
Chris
God bless you, your explanations are second to none.
The videos are simple to follow, direct to the point,.
You have a gift son....A thousand 🙏
You are the Fixit angel 😇
Your teaching skills are second to none. Great work!!
Im doing this tomorrow on my swift. Thanks for the tutorial!👍
Awesome! Glad the video was helpful!
I’m an hvac service tech, while that cleaner should be fine, they do make a dedicated no rinse evaporator coil cleaner. It foams up and as you run your ac the condensate will rinse the cleaner off. Plus it has a good smell to it.
Thanks so much for this video. My motor was making noises 2 days ago, but today it ran fine. Now, I know I just need to get in there and clean out some debris. What's even better, my wiper reservoir has a giant crack, so I am going to replace that and have easy access to the motor debris at the same time. You have saved me about $1, 000 over the last 2 years. Maybe more. Love your stuff. From: 2005 ford ranger edge owner.
I've been subbed for a while and you've helped me figure out SO MANY problems THEN my AC started squeaking! and here you are with a video right here for me! now my blower has no noise!
Hi Chris fix i am from Pakistan i love to watch your tutorial videos i recently fixed my AC blower motor by watching your video.
Thanks for the support from Pakistan!
Ay this video helped me out. There was a bunch of leaves and even a dead cockroach in mine
Great video you are about the only one on RUclips that actually explains how to fix somethin in detail I've been a shade tree mechanic for 50 years can usually figure it out but I always worked on the 60 n 70s some 80s 90s stuff but all this electronic crap just ticks me off. So you my friend teaches old dog new tricks lol thanks for sharing be safe have fun
August 26, 2019. Great videos Chris keep up the good work. I had to do this to a 2013 1500 Chevy Silverado in early spring the motor stopped and I couldn't defrost the windshield anymore. So the next nice day I did the job same as you. The only thing I did different was cleaning the evaporator with water after vacuuming out the drain hole from under the truck first. This insured the drain hole was clear and all was good for the air-conditioner. Installed a new air filter and fan control module, then buttoned her up and she was good to go.
5 Years Ago - hey guys chris fix here !😐
Now - HEY GUYS CHRIS FIX HERE 😇❤️
THANKYOU SO MUCH MAN
No problem. Glad the video was helpful!
Thank you for making this approachable! My '98 Taurus had great heat and AC but stopped blowing out last summer. I was in the car when it gurgled and stop running for the last time and my (ex) mechanic was no help in providing a resolution.
I just changed the blower motor and blower motor resistor as well, thank you so much Chris your channel is amazing, it has saved
me a lot of money on labor
have fun doing this on a 2014 european car...
+DESCENT in old european car you need only a screwdriver and hands, and at the new one you need 100 tool to get this out.
+Juntti 2012 and 3 Hands + 1 Foot.
Yeah forget it.
DESCENT tells their well made
@@BmwMe-uh9sy Just means suckers will pay more fix it. Its nothing to do with quality, only snobbery, for those who never turned a wrench in their life and have more money than sense.
Ah, thanks for the info. I was hoping it was just this and not having to take the whole dash apart. The blower on mine's been sounding like a hibernating bear snoring and flatulating. Barely _any_ air was being pushed through the vents. >.<
Car in question was a complete rebuild, bought from someone who let it sit and apparently some mice made it their home. I know this because I found 2 dead on the passenger footwell after a while and first time I turned the heater on I heard a click/thunk and **poof** some gray mouse fluff. O_o
Gross lol
Once again, a perfect video! Thank you for not only taking the time to make the video, but to edit it. Thanks!
Thank you Chris! Just fixed my sons AC blower on his 1999 Toyota Solara. He had more than a couple leaves, he actually had the whole blower as full as it could get with the leaves! You do a great job teaching, a really great job! Stay humble!!
The blower on mine was located behind the glove box under the dash
Great video, but I would’ve replaced that seal where the blower motor bolts back on.
There's no chance I don't lose every one of those bolts
At least you’re honest with yourself . I tell myself I won’t lose them and even take precautions and I still lose them.
Get a magnetic bowl it’s clutch
Just came from the other blower motor video. My sisters Yaris has a motor problem. These videos have given me knowledge on how to tackle the problem and a solution.
So glad I found your channel. My heat went out and I thought it was going to need to go to the shop to fix. Glad I can fix it myself.
Have fun doing this on an E39 5-series.
+Samniss Arandeen haha, what is it buried in the dash? I heard it is really bad on Volkswagen too!
When you say "it's buried in the dash", you mean it's buried further in the dash than Egyptian pharaohs were buried in their pyramids.
Samniss Arandeen lol. I just did this on my 15 Impreza, and it’s even easier than this video. Literally directly below the glove box. Just take out 3 screws and it drops down.
Try it on a Mitsubishi outlander
When using general-purpose cleaners on evaporator coils, one should be sure that they don't contain chemicals that can damage the copper and/or aluminum coil materials. These would include chlorine and ammonia. Plain detergent and warm water might be best. Obviously, special purpose coil cleaners are also made.
wholeNwon Thanks for the tips!
Man chris, what a difference 9yrs makes on videos. Great work sticking to it bud.
Just did this after work today. No more noise. Thanks Chris.
my whole dash clunks and smells like squirrels.. lol....
Turns out they were living in the blower!! LOL
+JakeWardell 19 😂😂😂😂
+Robin1Titan Smells so bad.... lol
+JakeWardell 19 Poor bastards got a good workout when you turned that blower on XD
OMG I just had the same thing in a free Maxima that was living under a tree for a year! acorns were jammed in the fins! worked like a champ after. and yeah car still stinks
I have a question about my 2003 Dodge neon, my cruise control keeps going out and idk if its a fuse in my box that is bad or something else? Do you know what the problem might be?
Luis Payan. Could be the break light switch at the top of the pedal. it is link to cruise control for safety.
Luis Payan well if u hit your brake after you put on cruise control it will go off for safety so the car will slow down before u come to a stop
I'm pretty sure that Luis asked ChrisFix this question.
Bye far the best teacher yet even better than my instructor at school. Thank you so much i watch ALL of what you do no matter if i have that problem or not . good on you mate
thanks Chris.
I fixed it on my wagon R.
the steps were very identical. but the fan was near glove box.
please make more videos, good job!
I would recommend spraying WD-40 or Lithium Grease around the bearings, motor, or joint areas before re-installing as well as re-conditioning the rubber parts with Armor All. I always use a wire brush on any rusty bolts and then spray with Lithium Grease or regular grease to keep them from rusting and being hard to remove.
Thanks for sharing.
Those leaves were planted like OJ's glove...
Hell nah😂
ChrisFix you’re the man bro! I honestly can’t thank you enough for making excellent how to videos! I definitely appreciate how you articulate and explain what you need to do the job and how to do it right the first time! You’re a excellent teacher bro 🙌🏽💪🏽💯🍻🍻
Liked, Subscribed, and I tell all my friends about you! Best of luck to all future endeavors! 🙌🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I have to leave a comment and a thumbs up since this video saved me time and few bucks. Passenger side dashboard suddenly vibrates violently with the fan on max. The next day, the foul smell comes out of the ac. After following this video, I was able to pull out the blower motor and turns out a small mouse ended up in the blower compartment causing vibration and when it decomposes caused the foul smell.
Replace dirty filter, too.
Two weeks after I replaced my blower motor, it suddenly got so bad, the dash was shaking. I was mad, but after taking it apart, it was a field mouse that ran into it. The mouse was in the fan cage and threw it off balance like a washing machine with a pair of shoes.
Bloody mice... I hate them
Dont let that happen again.
You did a super job explaining exactly what you were doing. Great video.
Great! Chris Fix always gets the job done. A rat got stuck in my blower motor. Thank you Chris. 👍
Now my cabin smells like wd-40
Razvan Alexandru lmao
WD-40 kinda smells good.
I mean I know this is late but you could use a areaoseoul disinfectant
Why though? I didn't see him using wd 40 in this video for the purpose of cleaning the blower?!
@@amjathkhan2004 he used a degreaser and he said use something that smells good
I am now a full blown mechanic, operating out of my garage
Is this the same method used to fix a PS4 Jet Engine when its getting ready for take off at 3am? 😂😂 I remember watching this video when it first came out and still watching to this day. Love this channel. 💕🎉👍🏻
THE BEST MOTOR CAR TECHNICIAN ON RUclips. SO MUCH OF LOVE ALL THE WAY FROM SRI LANKA!!!!
Get coil cleaner for AC condenser, you'll have super cold air flowing then.
ff5gus can you link me to this?
That was the evaporator
Pizza Pepperoni smell. ;)
Informative and explained in a way to make repeating the steps easy. Thank you, will be fixing my noisy motor this weekend.
Thank u am 65 yrs young and no man to do so have to do it myself or get screwed from mechanics who charge arm and leg for work and on fixed income to. Love you.
I like how you go the extra mile.... great video man
"Accessing the blower motor is easy" he sais.
And i have to take out thw whole dash to get to it
Back in the old days cars werent a pain in the ass to work on
Nothing like gratitude is there .

you should go to dollar general and buy LA Awesome ... shit takes off all the grease
I need to try that out! Thanks!
+ChrisFix car people come in all the time to buy it
they spray it on there clothes then straight in the wash
we used it on the old boat with hard rain, no problem
I like the way you narrate step by step instructions. You are clear and concise. I love to watch your videos.
Steven Degli Angeli Thanks a lot Steven! I am glad the videos are helpful!
Appreciate how well you explain things; thanks!
why does your car keep breaking down😂
Because that's what machines do over time.
Because it's a ford
Chronic Supreme sorry but mazda is ford
Edwin Dominguez so, i can say I know someone with a Ford rx8 r3?
Edward Polo nope but for and mazda are same. Like audi and vw or like chevy and gmc or chevy and buick
My next project a sunny day. Thank you for the ideas.
Fantastic! I've got this to do!!!! Thanks for the great step by step!!!!
Very professionally done video showing everything we need to do this repair. Thank you!
No problem Dave!
Thanks for the video! My blower motor has been making an annoying sound intermittently (goes away for a while if I turn it to high speed for a second), I didn't even consider it might just be old leaves rattling around. If only Ford had used cabin air filters back in 1993... I think they started to in 96 (for the Taurus), so I'm surprised your Ranger doesn't seem to have one.
Great thanks Chris fix for this vidio that i've looking for ages..
Thank you! We went through a car wash with an under carriage spray and my fan started making this horrible whirring noise! We had just come back from a week at the beach so I'm thinking there is sand in there! THank you!!!!
Great video. Thanks for mentioning the AC part, as well as air freshener. I did not know that. Will do this today.
Thank you Chris, you are very good with these videos...and very thorough in your explanations!! Excellent teaching.
Thanks a lot Tammy!
the more i grow the more i love your channel chris! thank you brother
Just noticed this problem today on my 2000 Ranger. Will attempt your procedure, hope it works. Will get back to you. Thanks again for your helpful vids.
Let me know how it goes!
Great video. I would also like to share that if a blower motor makes noise sometimes rodents may keep nuts on the blower or even die there. That's what happened in my own case. You're my biggest DIY motivator
I don't know why I find these videos relaxing
Thankyou for this video Chris . Another problem sorted
Thank you I like the way you showed from point a to pint b all the way through the video....
Penny Alexander No problem! I am glad the video was helpful!
I liked the video. you did a great job. it was especially nice that you say what tools are needed. it saves a lot of trips to the tool box. Thanks.
Yôur video teaching is awesome!. I feel I can do anything on my 2001 Ford Expedition .. I subscribe. Keep em coming Chris.
Very helpful step by step instructions
Thank you chris. Your videos are really helpful
Fantastic instructions/demonstration!!
Honestly thanks Chris, my truck outta no where had this problem. Going to fix it soon thanks to u
excellent tutorial! you are a natural teacher!
Thanks. What can I say. You are amazing. I though I needed to change out the motor. Saved tons of money. Thanks again
Great video, It's been a while since I've worked on a blower motor. I'll try this on my Chevy and see if that's making the noise. Thanks!
This helped me work on my own Car and fix the loud noise that I though would be very expensive to fix but mine was underneath the glove box and had to be a bit of a contortionist. To get to the 3 screws holding it in.
What a great job you did with this. Very informative
Yet another great lesson! Thanks!
You simply rock Chris when you fix.
Thanks!
