good video thanks. Note I got into the fan casing and tried to spin it around and was stiff, however I got it moving and spent a bit of time loosening it, and I also gave it a good dw40'ing. Tried turning back on and seemed to have unblocked it. I continued DW40 and leaving it on, changing settings, turning on and off etc. It seemed perfectly fine now. I'll reply here if this doesn't last long. May have been as over summer and don't do long journeys in car, that had ceased up. Now over winter will use loads more.
I replaced blower motor. Couple of years ago and it's still working. But recently only works on fourth setting so I went to replace resistor and it works but I smelt burning lol
Exactly the same situation for me. Maybe the newer cabin fan motors begin to sieze up after a while, just like the original, and require a higher current than the resistor can handle? Just guessing really
Hey! Thanks for the informative video!I have a question about how you checked the power wires comming from the resitor: Do I need to take out the battery when working there ? Will I be hurt if I touch the wires ? Is any potential danger in working with the battery powering the whole system ? I am no electrician, just asking being my first time fixing someting at my AC.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks Maris!
Not 4 bolts but 6. Couldn't get the last two out. Thanks anyway and couldn't get resister out either.
Excellent explanation and best video on this.
It is 6 not 4 bolts ! in the fan mount!! Only 4 if someone was working with it and didn't bother to put 2 extra on both sides of this fan.

And it's red hot

@@Jamman88888 it's been working fine with new resistor on all settings
@@Jamman88888 I think it's supposed to get very hot lol

Ik krijg alleen koude lucht geblazen helaas geen warme lucht wat zou het kunnen zijn.?
Can someone please explain how to get to the wire plugs from the fan as they are so high up in the dash and then plug in a downward way
