Best instructions I've seen so far. Others leave out important things.
I'll be doing this tomorrow. Nice job. Hopefully I can do it one handed as well lol
The only guy on the net who thought it worth while not just telling you that the pain in the ass floor heating duct can come out but how to make it happen. Thanks for that dude. I was about to take a fret saw to it.
It's all about the duct! Can't believe no other videos show this!
Great video. No extra words and confusion just right to the point like you've done a million of these. One handed mostly too! Thanks
Radiant Watertech thank you. I have done quite a few of them. Thank you for watching!
By far this is the most detailed video on about replacing this unit! Thanks for sharing. I am about to do this next. I just replaced my blower fan motor but it is still not turning on. I should have replaced this FSU resistor first, I could have saved a lot of time and money. My old blower fan motor might actually still be working but unfortunately I broke the blades on the old unit.
TheNogibear sucks that you broke the old one. Good with this project. Thank you for watching!
Great video, only one that was exactly like my 2002 M3. The job had several sticking points; getting the rod out of the white clip was difficult, getting the duct in/out was tough, and my new FSU didn't want to go in easily. After some cursing and about 2 hours, I got it done and all is well with the blower! Referred to this video throughout the process. Thanks a ton!
Harold Ross glad the video helped. That rod is A pain. Thank you for watching!
Hey Brian, awesome got this done myself went and did all work replace it my A/C is doing well. thanks again Dude
This video is awesome! I watched at least 10 different ones and this one is definitely the best. Just replaced the FSU on my '02 325ci. I couldn't get the rod out of the white clip but was able to work around it. This instructional video helped me so much! Appreciate it!
Carley glad the video helped. Thank you for watching and writing!!
how did you pop the rod out? I still couldn't pop it. And if I'm not mistaken you can't see the rod or the yellow thing right? cause it's at the top
Thank you! Had some battery drain and blower motor turned on and off when car was shut off so I decided to replace the final stage resistor. The problem is now gone thanks to this detailed video!
Max Cojahmetov glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!
The best video out there for this job! Thank you for your help. Got the old one out in 20 minutes. Going to pick up new one now.
MrClownfart glad to help. Thank you for watching and writing!
Just finished putting in new resistor. Total job was less than 1 hour. Blower works perfect now. Thanks again!
MrClownfart awesome you saved at least 120 bucks. Thank you for sharing!!
July 2018, my blower stopped working, this video sowed how to replace resistor, under 2 hrs I had it done, 1 worklight, 3 screwdrivers, and it is done. I am a big guy, 6 ft 2 240, so it was a little tight to get in there but doable, do not disassemble glove box, just undo 6ish screws and two electric connections and then remove it, thanks for info and confidence. Blower was intermittent in operation, finally stopped working altogether....no ac repairs needed....
Doug Waller glad the video helped. Thank you for watching and the tips!!
Thanks for the video , it took me 30 minutes to replace it and saved my self some money too , the generic part that I got from ebay worked perfect.
Alex Ledezma glad to help. Thank you for watching!
On a right hand drive bmw 320d O2 plate is the fsu on the drivers or passenger side? Thanks
Hi, thanks for the video....
I replaced the new resistor of 2001 bmw 330i but the intermittent operation of fan is not corrected, may i know what will be the prob? Tnx ang Godbless.
Great help Thank you... Nice to have a heater and defroster again. It gets cold here in Utah.
Great how to video. Just what I needed. Thanks a bunch.
Rick Buch glad to help. Thank you for watching!!
Thank you! You're awesome and very helpful! I have a 2000 328ci and am about to replace the blower motor and the resistor.
Camille Clark Thank you And thank you for watching. Hope everything goes smooth👍🏻
By far the best video thank you for making it it was a lot of help
this is such a great video.. covered everything perfectly in great detail. makes tackling this job less scary than reading the how to. Thanks
i guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Mohammad Liam instablaster =)
@Luis Zain Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Luis Zain it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account !
@Mohammad Liam No problem :D
What do I do if my car does not stop blowing air out of the vents even when car is off??
You awesome men this is the best video I do not know how the space is too small and detail every step by step, you are the best !!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Gigant thank you!!
What would cause the blower motor to constantly blow?
Vary good how to video. Great sept by sept guidance.
Yindé iroll thank you!
Any way of testing these resistors to know for sure they have failed...?...trying to avoid shot gunning parts if I can help it. Also, if the resistor is not the issue re a "no-fan/no blower" (on a 2000 328i)... where should I look next?
WJK to test it you would need a voltmeter and a wiring diagram to determine which wires are leading in from the controller and out to the blower motor itself. A simple test would be to put power and ground straight to the blower motor and see if the blower motor runs. A great tool to perform that is called a power probe. This would be very difficult to explain the process of doing this.
How to Automotive - Appreciate the reply. Working on a friend's BMW and have a fair amount of experience with automotive repairs over past 30 years. Powering up the fan/blower with a 12 volt battery connection (prior to pulling/investing in a new diode) sounds like a good place to start. Would hate to try a new diode only to find out the blowers bad. Thanks again!
WJK glad to help. Thank you for watching!
Thank you very much for the consistent and detailed video. Really helped to make it independently. *
Great explanation.
Awesome!! Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Very helpful thanks
shakurah marshall thank you for watching!
do I need to disconnect battery?
seamus kelly no.
Thank you!
Good demo , but...…. remember to disconnect the battery first , second, once you have fitted the
new part make sure it works before screwing everything back together , saves lots of time.
The hardest part of the job is getting the rod out of the white clip and no one shows you how to do it!! Wtf someone show all the actual steps to a job one day. Other than that a good video.
You dont have to replace it, you can fix it easly ;)
Thank u ❤️😊❤️
Thank you for watching!
Sir Iam new AC tech.if resistor block is defect what happen?
