Thank you your video was awesome exact problem with a solution you saved me and the family money really appreciate it 👍🙏🏻 God bless you and your family thanks again 😍
YEARS AGO, I had to replace the blower on a GM POS. It was an 80's or 90's Olds or Buick as I recollect. Well, those GM SOB's designed that miserable POS so that to access the blower, I had to remove the pass front fender. Are You Kidding Me?!?! I couldnt believe how many bolts held the GD fender on! I learned more new words beating that car into submission. All these years later I'm STILL pissed at the changes that job put me through! !
if it is the resistor that's bad, you can get some 8 gauge wire and 2 alligator clips to make a jumper wire. strip a little insulation off the lower of the 2 wires going into the fan motor and clip it to a ground. like a bolt. i clipped it to a valve cover bolt. it will blow on high til you get the resister replaced.
@Heartland Mechanic I thought the blower circuit bypassed the resister when the fan was set to high, so if the resister is the problem you should have the fan on high but not on lower speeds. I have a blower problem with a 2004 GM, I have the factory repair manual on a DVD which won't open the wiring diagrams without a viewer (Which only works on Windows XP), so tomorrow I'm going to dust off an XP computer. I've been leaning towards a ground problem as the cause, having already checked the blower. I like your video the tips you give are the kind of help that can keep a repair from becoming an ordeal.
My blower motor was fine after pulling and bench testing, no ground at plug, when resisters go , nothing . Great place to put the resistor Ford . This is my second one in 5 years. The blend door actuator is a piece of work too. Being in Florida, I yanked it and it’s in permanent ac😂👍
@@captojppg I did that on a 1992 GM which is very scruffy and has 387,000 miles on it, but since the 2004 has low miles and is in good shape, I'm trying to do my repairs correctly.
My ac just quit blowing, so I figured it was the blower motor, I didn't know there was a resistor, thanks for showing we're its at and how to fix it.
My blower clicked and just stopped working as well. Not intermittent, not at any level. Did changing the ballast resistor make the difference?
Thanks for the tips keep up the good work
Great video! Very detailed, step to step, great advice/ tricks to the trade. This should have a ton of more views and likes
