I have a 2001 750iL and the blower quit a few weeks ago. I viewed your video before replacing the blower assy and I tested it before I put it all back together. Yep it was rubbing on the driver side. I jammed a blade between the blower cage on the driver side and loosened and then re-tightened the screws. Did the trick. It's all back together and is very quiet. I watched your entire vid and it led me to test it before putting it all back together. You helped me allot with my cherished 2001 750iL. Thanks
This is one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen. Got my car all ripped apart and ready for the new resistor and motor to come in. Thank you so much!!!!
Oh man you showing the reality, stuff like that happening to me all the time. Finally somebody is showing how it really is. Not the short and beautiful stories with happy ending, now this is a man’s world. Thanks so much for the video. I got a bit harder because it’s on the street, got no garage big enough. My e38 losing the current somehow. There’s have to be some wire damaged battery is empty after one night. Think maybe I will sell it but it’s junk my one is junk everything have to be done. Shiiiit. Thanks for the video man very helpful cheers and wish you. All the best!
Firstly, vid has a super chill athmosphere, love it. And secondly, thanks for the detailed tutorial! The left blower died on my e38 as well as pretty much all the sensors controlling the climate control. Need to check those but dreaded disassembly. This made it a bit less daunting, thanks mate.
Thanks! I appreciate it. I wanted to make the video detailed and not really like a super entertainment video but detailed enough that anybody that needs this video will have it. I’m glad I could help!
This a nice videos very smooth and great detail . As I mention I have done this on a 2001 740 which I had it new . The fan didn’t last 4 years and 80k miles . The noise is the fan rubbing on the housing . You have to make sure the fan is align perfectly in its housing on the dash or the top cover will rub .
Thanks for posting. I used this video to replace my blower motor. I ran into the issue where the fan was rubbing like yours is. I was able to fix it by loosening the 3 torx mounting screws a bit then adjusting the fans position. I left the screws just about hand tight and have no rubbing. Hope that helps anyone dealing with the same issue.
@@0239666 the noise is the fan rubbing against the inside of the housing where it is mounted. You’ll just have to adjust the fan assembly’s position slightly.
Thanks for this. Its exactly what i needed. I was just wondering, if i did want to test it before i but the dash back in, what precautions should I take?
I replaced the final stage resistor a few weeks ago, due to a mysterious battery drain. I forgot to test before putting dash back and now the AC blower doesn't turn off when I plugged battery back in, even when they key is out of ignition. Now it drains the battery even faster. . So I could understand the frustration lol

I'm getting that abrasive noise too. Where does it rub against?

I did this 20 years ago with no direction

Haha yeah it’s unfortunate. Didn’t even think about testing it prior to reassembling it.
I’m actually having the same problem where when i turn off the car the fan blower don’t turn off! Can you help?
Did you eventually source the battery drain? I'm pretty sure I got the same problem.
