  • This video demonstrates how to troubleshoot, remove and install the blower motor in a 2000 Dodge Caravan. The procedure is similar for other Chrysler Corporation minivans made from 1996 to 2002, such as the Plymouth Voyager and Chrysler Town and Country.

    This is the kind of automotive "how to" I like. Not to long and he isn't trying to show us how smart he is. Instructions by somebody who knows what they are doing to somebody who knows what they are doing but hasn't done this this particular task in this particular car. Took me less than 5 minutes to remove mine with this help. Walked up with all the right tools in hand opened the door and went at it. Thanks Original Mechanic!

    Thank you so much for the video. My husband was a mechanic and is now disabled so he showed me a lot of repairs, but he was unable to help me with this and because we are in a fixed income this truly helped. One thing i found was you don't have to disconnect the battery, once the switch is off you have no current running to it. Also before fully installing the blower you can connect it and see if it is in fact needing to be replaced. Thank you again this really helped.

      You're welcome. I disconnect the battery anytime I'm working near an airbag. Glad you found the video helpful and thanks for the comment!

    Great video. It gave me the courage to give it a try. Probably saved at least $75 labor. Took a little while to get things lined up for reassembly, but what the heck. I'm retired.

    This looks more like my fan blower housing than what I was looking at in the Chilton's repair manual for 96 to 02 Caravan/ Voyager/ Grand Caravan and Town and Country. Thank you!

    Many thanks for the video, great instructions! I'm gonna need to do that to my '01 Voyager soon and this video gave me a good insight, whether to do or not to do myself (I'm not a mechanic at all). I have tested the fuses and relays, but they seem to be fine, so that's the next one to try. It's pretty awful not to have working blower during the minusdegrees. :) I've done that same replace to several VW Passat's and Golf's, but it's a bit different with them. Seems to be a bit easier with VW's to be honest. Greetings from Finland! :)

    I was coming home today and the blower motor went. I hoped it was the resistor but no such luck. Thanks for the video... very nice job. Ps. This is a double job.... I have a Caravan and a Town and Country of the same year... putting the Caravan fan motor in the Town and Country since the Caravan is dying anyway.

    hey man I wrote to you before about my breaks you where abig help ok I have the med high speed out not working I replaced the blower resistor and had to splice in a new connector the same thing is happening dose that mean the blower motor is not working in that one spot when I turn on the switch to the med high? I also tried another heating assembly I got from the junkyard so I know it's not the speed switch can u help me figure this one out please?

    • @TheOriginalMechanic
      @TheOriginalMechanic  7 лет назад +1

      Hey. sounds like you covered everything I can think of. I don't think the blower motor has separate windings for the the various speeds. All that's left is wiring and that can be a nightmare. Toughie!

      The Original Mechanic just bought a 2000 voyager for my daughter. it has a few minor quirks. the fan only blue on high when we got it but now it does not blow it all. I figure I need a resistor and the fan motor. I put straight voltage to the motor and got nothing

    • @TheOriginalMechanic
      @TheOriginalMechanic  3 года назад

      The best way is to use a meter or at least an electrical test light to find out where the power is and isn't. Troubleshooting with parts is expensive and often disappointing.
