I cannot explain my excitement after I fixed it myself. Thank you soo much for this video! I went to ask for a price in the nearest service they asked for 500 USD. Fixed it for 30. A big thank you from Southern Europe 😅 By the way I didn’t have any other experience rather than changing my car battery
Thanks for the how to, in my case, I just removed the blower motor, sprayed some "elektro kleen" (yes, it's an actual South African product), spun the motor by hand a couple of times, and the tested it. Ot works perfectly fine now
Great tip! Might be something for others to try depending on what is bad. I had mine apart a few time before this for squeaks, I don't think it was coming back to life. :)
I don't remember, but I looked at my old footage and didn't see anything else. A good flashlight or work light is a must in addition to the screwdriver, it is hard to see under the dash.
Hard to tell without seeing it. Could be the plug isn't seated, a bad fuse, bad regulator/resistor, or something deeper. A volt meter would be required to diagnose deeper.
You would still want the motor locked in (there would be a fair bit of torque when it spins up), but you could test before putting the cover/trim back on. I wasn't worried about it not working since it was a complete replacement. If I had done just the motor or the heater resistor, testing before assembly would be a good idea.
I haven't seen that before! Check that the plug to the blower unit is seated correctly, if so, I would then get a volt meter and check to see if voltage is getting to the plug. That will tell you if it is the blower motor/resistor or if the problem is deeper in the car.
@@reileymckerracher9181 thank you! I will check. A second question. For this is a single fuse? In my case is number 88 and it is like 40A. I saw that there are two fuse for AC like 06 and 77. Should i check also those two fuse?
@@bogdanpopescu9725 Sorry, not sure how it is fused. I would expect one for the blower/resistor, but the controls would be separate. Just another though, have you had any battery warnings? With a low battery car will shut off non essential items.

Great job! It always feels great to do it yourself and save that kind of money!

Great video
Thanks!
Thanks so much 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Glad it helped! Thanks!
Did you also replace the gasket?
I don't recall there being one that was serviceable.
What part did you go with? I know there’s a lot of manufacturers out there that make them.
I went with the Valeo. I ordered from fcpeuro.
@@reileymckerracher9181 thank you!
I know the exact part numbers reply if you still need them
@@kristopherlopez5583 oh nice! Yeah that’d be helpful!
Is the T-20 screwdriver the only tool I need for this project?
I don't remember, but I looked at my old footage and didn't see anything else. A good flashlight or work light is a must in addition to the screwdriver, it is hard to see under the dash.
Mine doesnt turn when i put it in, what could be the problem? The motors are the same

@ its fine i got it in, the allignment was off in one spot all the time just needed to press on all sides
@@RoastedOnion17 Glad you got it, thanks for the update!
Whould you not test it first before putting it back together

Where did you find the blower motor all in one piece?
I ordered it from FCPEuro online.
I have one question. If the fuse is okay and a new motor and resistor are in place, what could be the problem then?

@@reileymckerracher9181 @bogdanpopescu9725 I have the same issue. Voltage is fine. Can't figure out where the issue is.
@@CharlesDalrymple-wl3yj did u find out the issue?
What caused it motor or resistor
I expected it was the resistor, but since the motor was squeaking, I replaced the whole assembly and never confirmed.
