I appreciate this video. The pull tab was a great help. I found out that the connector cable connection had melted where it connects into the blower motor. Probably caused by the corrosion on the resistor if I had to guess.
Thank you so much for this information. Was spot-on exactly what I had to do. I did have to go out and buy a 7/32. Also mine had four screws in the cover. Again, thank you sir!
Great Video , right to the point , helped me out bigtime , especially with the tab part and reinstalling the plastic bracket. I took it out and didn’t remember how to reinstall it , but your video is very clear . I will definitely subscribe, thanks 🙏🏻 plus the resistor trouble shooting tips were great, hopefully i don’t have to replace the resistor , i so i ll reach out to you if there’s a video or instructions.Once again thank you for your video !!!
This is a great clip, I used this clip to changed my 2013 Silverado Blower motor. FYI I brought one from autozone didn’t like it. Went to pep boys brought and works great. Remember when installing the new blower motor. The exhaust is different on the new blower motors. You need to make sure you put a plug in the existing hole in the truck since the new blower motors have the exhaust built in. Also it’s best to replace the AC resistor at the same time since it’s located next to the blower motor.
Good time to cut out the cabin air filter opening & install a filter. That’s located next to the resistor too. GM was cheap on this generation, & just left the filter opening sealed from the factory.
Definitley an easy install. I noticed on the blower motor you put in that there was a spring/clip on one of the blades of the cage. Mine had the same thing. (GM part). It was loose so I took it off. Any idea what that was for?
Thanks for sharing this. However, my fan goes off and on with wire movement near the connector harness and when it’s working the wire get very hot to the touch. Could this be the wires or the fan? Is this a potential hazard? Thanks!
The piece with the 2 - 7/32 screws that comes off. How do u replace it with new motor? The new motor doesn’t have a hole on side that needs to be covered with that piece. Just leave it off?
Hi, my AC fan works well, but sometimes when I'm traveling, after three hours, the fan works very slow, I can barely feel the air, even in max level, should I replace first the resistor or the blower motor? Once I shut down the AC few minutes, it works again.
I have a 2012 Silverado and when I turn my fan on a setting higher than the second setting I start hearing some squeaking. It sounds like a belt but I’m assuming the only thing it can be is the blower motor. The noise is definitely coming from behind the dash and not the engine. The noise really seems to be coming from behind the radio but that may just be my ears playing tricks on me. Do u think that sounds like a blower motor or something else. Like a blend door or something. Any input will be much appreciated. Ty.
It's hard to tell without being there. You can pull out the blower motor and operate it to see if it is squeaky, make sure to hold it in your hand, don't just set it down and turn on lol, It won't hurt anything. Usually door's don't make any noises unless there moving, but to a selected position. Let me know what happens.
@@showmemechanics it was the blower motor. I’m not sure why it was squeaking but it definitely was. Changed it out and back to quiet as a mouse again. Thank u bud.
If you have a volt meter, set it to DC. Turn the blower on at any speed, and test the blower wire for 12v (red wire) to ground. If voltage is there it's your blower, if no power, you unplug the resistor, you can test each wire for 12v to ground for each speed you turn it to. You'll have one already hot, low will put 12v on a wire, medium will put 12v on a different wire and so on. Any more questions feel free to ask. If you need a diagram, just email me.
My 2012 Chevy Silverado looks different as well. Saw another video w a 2500 “work truck” that looked just like mine. I also have a Work Truck, 4 on the floor, bare bones.

Thank you for being an actual mechanic and not talking about bullshit for 10 min before you do the actual work 😂. Hope your subscribers increase
Thank you
This is the only video that showed me to pull the tab down at the twist out the fan.Thank you.
No problem, thanks for watching.
Yes, that was very useful!! Also just like other said very to the point! Helped me get er done!!
Nice video, no bullshit,
No wasted time! Thanks 😊
No problem, thanks for watching
What a great video. Got right to the chase without the bullshit. Will be coming back to you no doubt

Thanks for the video. Subscribed in case you’ve got more Silverado videos I might need in the future 👍
Cool. Thanks for watching
This video is great lol. Defrost wasn't working this AM, hot but not pushing air. I'll be swapping this out today.
Thank you for this! Just saved me a lot of money
Man you have no idea how much that helped me. I feel like an idiot now. I was undoing every screw I could see. Thank you. Subscribed.
No problem, thanks for watching
Think it's the same on a 2011 silverado?..mine just died..luckily it wasn't the middle of winter lol
Yes it'll be the same concept.
@ShowMeMechanics Hey thanks!
Awesome, perfect, thank you
Short and simple.. good video
Really helpful thanks a lot man
No prob bro, thanks for watching.

You rock, dude.
Thank for showing removing the 2 bolts on the cooling tube
Thanks!

How important is that little shoe? I couldn’t seem to find how to put it back on
@@CarlosMorales-se1um it needs to go back on, it helps the air flow to make it cold through the vents

It could be either one sad to say.
@@showmemechanics well, I will start with the cheaper LOL thanks a lot!

No problem, glad to hear, and thanks for watching. Have a great turkey Day.
how do you know which one is bad or goood

what if my blower doesn't work at all? is this a resister problem or the blower?
Might be both. The resistor is cheaper so maybe try that first, but they’re both super easy to replace.
Dont you mean counter-clockwise?
That's what it looked like to me..
Mine doesn’t look like this !!

Its the resistor that bad
