This repair wasn't nearly as hard for me as people belly-ache about.. it was frustrating for sure.. working with the tools I had.. but I did it in an hour without even using a socket set, and without pulling back the underlay even. Here are the cheats: 1/4" hex 90 degree extension adapter 5/16 nut driver (8mm equivalent) I didn't have 8mm The rear screw is a little far up to just put the 5/16 driver on the 90 extension.. so I used a 1/4 but driver off the 90 adapter then stacked the 5/16 on that.. the frustrating part was getting those drivers up to the screw without everything flopping.. then I took a utility knife and just cut the underlay around the screw.. didn't have to cut much out.. nothing down further towards the carpet.. maybe 10 sq/in? That just let me get the nut drivers up there easier.. the 5/16 driver slips a lot on the 1/4 driver but you can use it like a pivot point and you'll grab enough to get the screw out. I didn't bother putting it back in after install.. it feels tight enough.. This video really streamlined my repair effort. I've watched a number of vids leading up to this repair and this was the best one I found.. meaning thorough, accurate, and without a bunch of blah blah

I just Lubricated it after I got it out, didn't need to buy a new fan...

Your the man ❤

6 years and it helped me find that damn screw in the back😂

I'm going to save all of you a lot of time. Before you go through all of this disconnect the power from the fan motor and hook up 12 volts to that lead power to the green negative to the ground. If it works I just saved you 2 hours of frustration. You're welcome

Any suggestions on how to get the insulation out I got the three screws out in the front but that insulation in the back is not budging

Thank you so much for this video, it will really help me for my assignment presentation

🎉🎉🎉 Thank you so much for making this. I was able to replace my fan motor in about 2.5 hours thanks to you. Most of that time is spent on removing the insulation. You have do it, or it blocks you from getting the hard one he mentioned. The hard one requires patience and some yoga with the right tools. Thank you again. This video is exactly what I needed. Everything was very easy except for the insulation and that hidden screw.

one of the simplest and clearest DIY how-to videos I've seen! Great work!

i like the way you explained everything just like a pro. good job.

Does this one have an air cabin filter?

Nice description of the job

I know this video is old, but it was a major time saver. Thank you for the clearly & slow spoken instructions with a perfectly lit video.

Good video, I didn't bother with the screw in back that is hard to get to. Since I have a 2007 year model, with 196k .I just carefully broke it clean. I will probably be the only owner until the car becomes too costly to repair.

I finally got around to installing a heater motor in my 2003 Dodge Caravan and your video was spot on. Biggest trouble I had was two of the three screws that hold the motor up broke off in the PLASTIC housing when removing them. The only thing I could was drill and install a new metal screw sideways and a new hole in the motor mount ring and plastic tie it in place over the top of the sheet metal screw. I had to leave the other one as it was in front of the motor. I could not drill along side the old broken ones as there is nothing for the screws to go into. I hate these newer fool infected vehicles as they are extremely hard to repair and will bite you trying to save money. Glad I didn't hire this done as a dealer and most others would have wanted to replace the whole plenum. The motor maybe drops down but this repair was crowded and a lot of it is one handed so starting screws and holding stuff up was an ordeal but is done and will not be buying any more Caravans and will be using my collector cars more. They don't strand me broken down and FAR easier to fix. Thanks for your great help.

It’s 2024 and this video really helped me a lot. Thanks so much!

I was able to get a 1/4” drive ratchet on that back screw! After that it was very straightforward, thank you for posting this all those years ago!

I do a lot of mechanical repairs and use youtube videos often. this one was the most accurate and descriptive I have found. That hard screw was a real pain. Thanks for the video.

Thank you!

Very informative and perfect step by step instructions! Thank you for this video 😀👍🏻

By far the most helpful video I found on the subject. Because of this the replacement went great

Going to need this video today 10/26/23

Gracias por enseñarlo todo. Yo pude sacarlo, lo limpié y le puse mucho limpia contactos y lo volví a montar y funciona perfectamente. Pero no puse el tornillo del infierno interior.

Thank you so much this was so straightforward and it absolutely worked! I live in Alaska and winter is creeping in! PS that back bolt was truly a b**** 😅

It took me 2hrs just to get the back screw off. After that it took me 10mins to put it all back together. I didn't bother putting the back screw on it was on tight enough

I just want to say thank you SO much for taking the time to make this video. I love my Chrysler Voyager, but she's getting old and I've head to spend a lot of money making repairs that I can't do on my own. Thanks to your video, this was one that I was able to do, and save a LOT of money. But honestly I wouldn't have had the courage to rip out that insulation without watching this video. Ha! Can't thank you enough!

Thank you for an excellent video. I appreciated the precise information and good camera work. You gave me the confidence to go for it.

5 years since you posted this and it helped me out today! My blower motor died and I ordered a new one off Amazon for 38 dollars and used my husband's tools to do this all myself. I could have waited for my husband to do it but I wanted to take something off his plate for him. He was incredibly surprised when he got home and I told him I replaced the motor while he was at work.

Great video, thanks so much.👍🤗

I don't way this often, but I have to commend you for this well put together video. Was easy to understand and straight forward.

Thank you very much for this video. I made a few adjustments that may also help others. (1) Since I did not want to empty and then restock the glove compartment - I put several pieces of wide painter's tape across the open end and then took the entife glove box out without greatly disturbing the contents. (2) Being a rather large fellow (I do play Santa) - I wanted to give myself more room to work. I removed the passenger front seat - from the inside - I didn't remove it from underneath since all I have is shallow ramps to elevate the van, and didn't want to try to crawl under to get the bolts there. There are a total of 5 - 15mm nuts under the frame of the seat. Slide the seat forward to get the back two, slide it back to get the front two, and then if you have a drawer under the seat, remove it to get to the 5th bolt which is under the rail on the inside (toward driver's seat) of the rail. Then just unhook the seat wiring and remove the seat. This allowed me to put a piece of foam on the seat frame and then lay down on my back facing up to get to all the screws around the blower housing and motor. In this way I was able to get both hands in the area and see almost all the screws. (3) That darned screw on the housing by the firewall!! Although this wouldn't work for an auto shop, for a "shade tree mechanic" like me, it worked just fine. I took off all the other screws and then wiggled the housing until the plastic holder on the back screw broke. The screw was then reasonably easy to remove. I thought about gluing the holder back on and replacing the screw, but decided that 4 of five screws were enough to hold the housing tight.

Excellent step by step instructions. You could give Chris Fix some competition. Kudos.

For the bolt in the back, I simply removed all the other bolts and ripped it out worked nicely

Don't attempt this without the FLEXIBLE extender. I spent about two hours trying to get on and unscrew the last fastener behind the blower housing using conventional extenders, sockets, and u-joints. This is a very tight location with difficult access. I then went and bought a six-inch long, 1/4" drive, flexible extender (like the one displayed in the video) and got that screw out on the next try.

Hey guys anyone can help me out ? I have a 01 dodge caravan and I recently replaced the resister but my wires keeping burning and the fan speed isn’t working at all , is it maybe the resister again or is it the heating fan ? My mechanic has already soldered news wires but more our burning now

Excellent! I do not know why your video is not first on the google search? It is the best by far!

thank you so much for this video.

Excellent you rock!

Is this for the front blower? My front blower went out, but the rear blower works just fine.

thank you for this ppt ...

Muy bueno

Thank you brother your help safe me time

Thanks so much. My lower power wire from the motor to the resistor (The black one) got so hot it melted the connector. I am assuming my blower motor is creating resistance and making the resistor too hot. Thus melting the wire.

I took out the 4 front screws and just pulled down on housing to break off last screw

Excellent video, thanks.

Thanks Jay! Saved a lot of time and trouble!

Rear screw is ridiculous. I’m still struggling to remove it on Day 2 into the job…

Thanks. Just replaced mine in a 2004. Your directions were spot on!

You get a gold star. I am a senior senior in a wheelchair - your superior posting gave me the courage to do this. Detailed instructions without being tedious.

Good job, thanks
