If you are putting in a new one, I suggest after you take it out look it up on ebay. Dodge had three different blower motors to choose from when I went to NAPA, so make sure you know which one you need before stopping there. New ones on eBay run about $50 - $60 delivered to your door, which is half the price of the $120+ I paid at NAPA. So imagine this you make $10 an hour and $80 a day which after taxes, Social Security and medicare are taken out is about $60, so wait 3-4 days for it to be delivered or work a whole day - No brainer to me if it was my car and I was paying for it.
This is behind the glovebox, so you have to remove the glove box and a few bolt and screw/bolts to get to it. You can also check to make sure it is not your resistor.
Thanks for no bs and lots of detail. Great video, even in Nov 2023.
Yeah I hate listening to 1 minute of BS before they get on with anything, so I leave it out.
@youcanfixit3721 exactly. Most videos don't even start the how to process until 15 mins in 😂
Thanks man did this today works amazing now is this summer heat 2023
I'm in Alaska and the -30 and -40 days seem to burn them out when it's so dang cold. Had to replace it on every one of my vehicles in the winter... Glad it helped and thanks for taking the time to post. We do get occasionally get into the 80's in the summer for a few months where I'm at, but the cold always seems to do them in.
Five years into the future I reach out to thank you for making this video.
Thanks for the Positive Feedback. It makes it feel worth my time when people let me know it helped. I love looking things up and fixing things and I love get positive feedback even 5 years after I posted. Thanks for taking the time to say thanks I appreciate it!
You can Fix It!!!! Yeah man thanks to your video I replaced my blower fan in just a few minutes. Now I have strong blowing AC. Take care
@@ShanerTheGrey Great! Glad it helped
Excellent video. Just got done replacing the blower motor on a 1996 and your video helped a lot. Orielly's had the motor unit by itself for $45. It took a lot longer to do because the old squirrel cage fan had to be transferred, the motor mount required drilling, and the old wire harness needed splicing but the savings was worth it. Thanks so much for sharing.
+Eric HandymanAuto I think on ebay the motors run about $50 and I think that is with the squirrel cage. Glad you got it fixed and thanks for the post. It's always nice to save a ton of money. Glad you got it working! Every post is appreciated and it's always nice to know I helped out! THANKS AGAIN!!!
Yes, any price much below 90 is going to be used, with OR without a cage - always check that. IF the cage has any damage, you might here a rhythmic thumping at all speeds - this means you might have to move the balancing clip around - do all that on a bench first, before putting the thing back in!
Thanks for this. I replaced my blower motor today and having a visual aid made a big difference.
This is always the first place I look when I'm fixing something too.
Glad to have helped.
Yo, thank you so much. It's still kinda winter where I live and my windshield was fogging up real bad. It's not as loud as yours, so I'll probably tap it till I can get the part. Thank you so much man!
We still have snow on the ground here. You live in Alaska or Northern MN, ND, or Wi. Or maybe up in the mountains somewhere? I live in AK and am actually going ice fishing tomorrow, probably for the last time of the season. Went Sunday and we had 2 feet of solid ice left, but it's leaving fast!
@@youcanfixit3721 Northern BC Canada. Its mostly gone now, but it keeps dumping every so often here.
@@totesmcpreesh7617 I totally spaced out Canada. I went Ice fishing the other day and will probably go again tomorrow and then that's about it. There was still 2 feet of ice on the lake... The small shallow lakes are starting to melt out though
Thanks for the video - I've got a 98 Plymouth Grand Voyager but it should be about the same. What a relief to see that it's easy to get to and a simple process!
It's not to bad, although there was a lot of twisting up and under and working on your side to get the job done, but all and all not to bad. Definitely one most anyone could do.
Very helpful, I got my 2000 grand caravan less than 100k original miles, is restored to it's full beauty in 2023 but blower motor has been sounding a little weird, it sounds muffled so im thinking either is going out or is has something in it, maybe trash or a piece of foam / insulation from the vents went down to it or something, great help knowing how to get to it now to check out what is going on, thanks 🙏
Thanks for posting hopefully you get it figured out
Great video. Sure helps when u know what tools are needed ahead of time. Thx.
Thanks, good video, usually it is a resistor, I just changed both of these into my friend's Plymouth Voyager/ basically same car, 1999. Working great now, Discount Auto Parts had that same motor for $76.00, new with the blade, had to change a plug though for the wires =) Working good now, thanks !!
+Eero Laukkanen Thanks for letting me know it helped. I appreciate the post - It's always nice to get feedback on my video's Makes me want to post more! Thanks!
awesome video. I had a issue with my blower motor in my old 1995 Ford Windstar minivan but didn't bother to fix it I just had no climate control lol
+vscott smitley Climate control = windows :)
+You can Fix It!!!! exactly:)
Awesome ! Thank you for the help! I will be doing mine now !
thank you for this video with it i was able fix my ac and saved some money so thank you for great video
maskofgordo I replaced mine cause I wanted to save some $ also. Glad to have helped.
OK..just changed mine. WHAT A PAIN!! 1998 Dodge Caravan. The original factory was a DENSO. Ordered a TYC from Amazon. Hole pattern was off 1/8" inch. So ordered 2 more and one was off like TYC and one was OK like Denso. Just installed that one. Easier said than done. Took 2 hours. BUT saved $$$$$$. One thing the video doesn't show is disconnecting the power connectors. They hang on a metal tab so just pressing the plastic keeper tab is not enough. Take out>>> remove glove box cover,,easy, take off bottom plastic cover..a little harder. Remove old blower..worse yet. And that is the easy part.. installing new one..PUKE! CRAMPED SPACE!!! There are 7 5/16" screws and most are difficult to remove and harder to replace when holding up the 4 pound blower unit. Before installing a new one, measure the distance from motor center to closest hole on the angle tab that has 2 holes. the closest one should be 3 3/8" NOT NOT NOT 3 1/4"....YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!
thanks for posting this. It's very helpful. God bless.
+DAILEYericCaryUSA Thanks for the post, don't forget to give it a thumbs up! Hope you got it fixed. I also always look on ebay to
buy replacements. Best of luck and don't forget to click the
like button... Thanks!!!
Thanks for the video,,worked great
Sweeeeet!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the comment. I appreciate the feedback and am glad you saved some money doing it on your own.
Glad I found this video!
Glad it helped out. Thanks for the post. Always nice to know it helped... Wish everyone posted....Thanks again and glad it helped.....
You might want to start off first with resetting your air conditioner by pressing the top button in the bottom button for the rear windshield wiper and holding it
Great video! Thanks!
Hopefully you got it all fixed up! and if you live somewhere that will be cold soon it is sure nice to get it done while the weathers warm. The first frost will be around where I live in another week or so :( Thanks for the comment..
Replaced ours today.. Glad I watched the video even more so now lol..
Fantastic video. How did you test the blower motor once it was out? Did you just hook it to the battery / battery jump starter?
I was able to just take connection from the minivan and plug it in once the motor was unscrewed. I held the motor down by the floor and turned the fan on. Best of Luck!!!
Be careful testing a new motor in the same manner as the poster here tested his old motor, as the inertia might spin the motor body around quickly and surprise/injure you.
I have a question and maybe you can help me. I can't afford a grange repair and you made it seem like I could fix this myself. I have a 5yr old and a 1yr old. I have a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan. When I turn the air on it will NOT blow out of the front at all, no matter what setting it is on- BUT it DOES blow out of the back on all settings..... I'm guessing it would. E my blower motor? What do you think?
DId it just stop one day totally, or had it sounded like it was having troubles for a while running weak or squeeking?
Here's a link, sorry I can't diagnose over the net, but this link may help you

Thanks, man.
Terence Gillespie Thanks for sharing. Glad it helped. It was easier than I thought it was going to be, but seeing how it isn't very difficult helps in making the decision to actually go for it. I just had a radiator go out and gave it a go and that was an easy fix on my minivan. The more I save the more I want to do the repairs on my own :)
great vidio
Thanks
Compressor works, replaced blow motor, but A/C STILL isnt cold and it WONT ACCECT freon!!! Tried different nodules and cans of freon for malfunctioning....grrrrr... please help!!!! I just bought this 2000 dodge Caravan outright and the a/c WAS WORKING AT TEST DRIVE!! WTF IS WRONG!! HELP MR. FIX IT PLEASE!!
thanks!
Glad it helped thanks for the comment!
I just paid 224.70 to have a blower motor replaced with a 3 month warranty. Might have been a little high but I figure they got to pay bills also.
That's not a bad price. I just prefer to keep the $125-$150 savings for myself. I figure I am paying myself $60-$75 an hour for the saving and that's some good pay for myself. I figure I have to pay that after taxes, so for your pretax dollars if someone make $17-20 an hour they have to work a whole day extra for the money to pay for the shop to complete 1-2 hours of work. And yes they need to pay there bills, but I have better things to spend my money on... I guess if money is flowing out of your ears it's no biggy, or if you make good money. I don't need to fix it to save the money, I just enjoy being independent. Also some people may need that savings as a necessity just to pay off other bills. Everyone has their reasons. Some can pay and afford it, others don't have the money and pay out of just fear of not knowing, some need to fix it on their own because they have no money and can't afford it, and others just enjoy doing their own thing to each their own and I wish every the best in whatever choice they make. Glad you are satisfied that's what's important....
@@youcanfixit3721 believe me if I had any idea in this world what I was doing I would have tried doing it myself
@@teresamier9370 No problem... Everyone gets to make their own choice and has their own comfort levels. Just mentioning people all have different reasons... I'm just glad you got it fixed and are happy about the job that was done that's the main thing is that when it's done you're happy.... Hope your weekends going well........Thanks for the comments
Blower motor of T&C and the Grand Caravan are WAY different from each other.
Think maybe connection clip needs to be cleaned and little lube
need help!! 2000 Chrysler gvy keeps shutting off while driving!!
This kilmer vid may help...

thanks, I'm going to give it a try later on
Let us know how it works out. Shouldn't be too bad
You can Fix It!!!! okay so I ended up, changing the blower resistor, and got the new blower motor in, it works and all, but. I just noticed my compressor isn't turning on..not sure what it is 😐,I'll report back
Yikes! no AC and the heat, plus blowing around just hot air is the worst! I hope you get it to go soon!
The motor /fan i got from advance auto parts had the female plug on it (wrong), so I had to cut off the old plug (after first making sure it was the right fan/motor... extra hassle.. but it does work fine.
No, it didnt. There would have been included a molded piece that fits OVER the "female" end, thus making it fit right..
Even if it was the wrong end, take it back to AAP - they take electronics back 90 days, just like everything else. Good thing you didnt buy it at a CarQuest. Then again, AAP OWNS CQ, so AAP would take it back!
CQ probably has to conform with AAP return policies by now, it's been over a year since the merger.
Good job, Thanks! But you paid too much for the blower. Amazon brand new for about $50 - $60
I know, but it wasn't for me. I posted in my description they are cheaper on ebay and amazon, but the person I did it for didn't want to wait. If it was my money I would get it online like you say.
That said if the cage isnt too damaged - from removing it off the old spindle (remove the retainer clip first, of course - and dont lose that clip! OR have some Gel-type Super or Gorilla Glue handy!) - you could re-use the older cage and save 50 bucks.
Also, be careful and check the drive spindle for "shave-down", indicating that the motor is NOT OEM or proper after-market design. The shaft MUST have a proper key-way manufactured, not "ground down" manually. Then again, if you are handy with a grinder, grind away if needed! But, you shouldnt need.
This video sucks......it did not help much. He does not film the inside of the housing, how hard it is to see, and how it would be easier to remove the front seat first before proceeding. I just spent three hours doing this in a parking lot in the rain, and it was a pain in the you know what. Also, the screws are the crappy tiny type that fall out or strip out, and they really do not do a good job of not loosening over times. Thanks Chrysler plastic craptastic. I literally had to play contortionist and found my body getting tweaked. This coming from the year 2024, as this was the only video out there that gave us an idea how to repair. I did break the tab on the connector, but it still stays in place. I hope the screws that would not go back in do not work their way loose later. I was only able to get some back in upside down blind in the dark.
Well the video is actually pretty good. Now you were down there and all bent over and know how hard it is to get at. Now imagine recording and doing the repair at the same time for people twisted and contorted. Yeah it's not fun. No you shouldn't have had too many issues besides being smashed, contorted, and having little space. It is a mid novice level repair. Patience is a must and if you chose not to get it all back in that's on you. I never said to just put half the parts back in... Hopefully whatever you did works. Best of luck...
It did, thanks for the video and sorry for complaining.
