THANK YOU!!!!! We got our 02 back in march and the ac does not blow and we’re in Florida 🥵 saw your video worked on the truck and surprised the hubby!!!! Thank again!!
The screw in the back is a bit challenging. Yes that small little plastic door was broken. I removed it. I did not remove the glove box, I was able to get to it from underneath once I removed the fan. It took me 15 mins. I have air coming out of those vents now. I still need to add Freon or replace my compressor but it is definitely better. Thanks for the video. I have a 2004 Ram that I bought in 2006. I've had my truck for 13 yrs and I have been suffering since. Thanks for the video.
The same exact thing was wrong with my 2005 Ram 1500. You are a life saver man. Simple 5 minute fix and the air is freezing me out of my truck again! Thanks again.
@@SoFlaRocks did you replace it or just took out - if removed then its full exchange and not recirculate all season. just want to see whats been your experience with defrost etc, if onyl removed
Thanks Edgar, great video and advice! I know you said you removed the glove box to show us, so thanks. Like Vic, I didn’t. Took the fan off, reached up in there and took out the plate. Took me 20 min taking my time. A hurricane of cold air now...thanks again!
Thanks for the video. I just picked up a used Dodge Ram 1500 and I could feel the air was blowing but you could barely feel it. It took me 3 minutes to fix my air conditioner. It blows like a hurricane now. My door was broken just like yours was.
Edgar, I want to thank you for producing your video regarding the 2008 Dodge Ram AC blowing issue. I followed your instructions and it worked just like you said and demonstrated so well. Thank you, so much & God Bless you & your family.
I just had this happen to me, when I took off thr blower motor, I was like wtf is that plate. Thank you so much for giving me confidence to just get rid of it!!
Thanks a lot, just bought one a week ago and was quite pissed that after spending cash, I couldn't even feel the air. Did this in about 20 minutes and voila it worked great and blowing strong! Ur the man lol!
Thank you so much, this saved me so much time and $. For people who want to block the outside air- just cover the opening under the outside vent. Happy as can be!
Hi Edgar, great solution and great video explanation. I have the same problem or low air pressure and with this quick fix it works completely different and way better. My RAM it's a 1500 SLT 2002 Quad Cab. I appreciate your video and guidance. Octavio Marroquin from Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico.
Subbed! So we just watched this, went out to our 2008 Ram, took that fan out, and found that same door you show here, ours looked exactly like yours, blew our minds. Thank you SO MUCH from my husband and especially me, this is my truck and the lack of air was driving me crazy. This was a huge help, bless you for taking the time to make this video it was such a help to us
Bro thank you so much you just saved my life took me 3 min and it fixed it and it’s blowing so hard now… thanks!!! I’ve taken it too mechanics 2 times for it and nothing
same deal on my 2002 dodge ram. your youtube video saved me a lot of headache and money im sure. the door was cracked in the same spot and nasty. cleaned it up and it blows nicely now
Damn I literally was just about to watch this video and I thought let's just take the blower out and see if its blocked I took my blower off and I found the same exact thing wrong with my truck definitely made a huge difference for my truck good video thought to the point
Thank you so much! My A/C on my 2006 RAM is working great again. The flap was already broken when I got in there, pulled it out and put the fan back and wow!
Thank you so much for your video. I was able to fix my AC in 10 minutes just by removing the fan. My plastic part was just broken laying in there and I was able to maneuver it out. 07 Ram 1500. That was getting rough in the 100° heat.
2008 Ram 3500. Symptoms, Blower operates only if high is selected. AC light on AC switch push button only illuminates and AC only operates if blower is selected to high. Fan blower motor sounds like its bearings are failing. Replaced fan blower motor assembly. Fan sounds normal with new unit, but other symptoms persisted. Replacing the resistor assembly with new unit, fixed the other issues. Thanks for posting the video.
@@craigrobinson164 That’s good to hear. My fam is actually making a whining sound so it might be a good time to change it. But I have airflow now in this Texas heat so I’m not in a rush lol.
Awesome video! Took me 30 minutes. So glad I found this, I was about to take mine in to the shop as we are hitting hot weather here, I know a shop would have charged me hundreds! Thanks bro
Great Job. 10 minutes. The flapper was a little bit of a pain to get out, but I have full air now. I actually have heat/a/c on the floor now!! Thanks a lot.
Thanks for your insight on the fan. My fan hardly blow as well. Wofe jas complained about not getting any cold air at all. Do you jave one on fixing the AC leaks.
Great instructions and a big THANK YOU! Took half my dash apart when I discovered you video.You removed your seats though?!!!! They must not be power, because it's a pain in the ass with it. Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing ! The was EXACTLY what was going on with my truck. I was able to break the piece with one hand inside, and pull out the pieces. I've another issue....AC console is bouncing around everywhere. The screw holes are stripped and won't secure the unit.
Is there any out side air coming in since you removed that door. Reason I say that is when driving in the cold I feel a draft of cold air coming inn.and I have the ac turned off.if you know what I mean. Great video
Symptoms I had. I heard a loud crack when the door broke. AC would not blow cold. Fan made a loud rumbling/growling noise on high speeds only. Modes would not switch. All cured ith the removal of the door. I took mine out by pulling until it snapped in half.
Don't forget to check the electrical connectors at the blower speed controller a blower module for evidence of melting around terminals. The blower will likely not blow as well if you got a poor connection.
hey Edgar - so i noticed my door seems to be broken too and falls flat on the blower. how did you take the door/filter out? i took the blower out but above the chamber of blower is where that filter is stuck. i found the broken hard plastic part of hinge of that door.
Nice quick fix. Today on 6/14/2020, with respect to my 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT, I found out that "Door" was broken and I was able to pul it thru the blower hole. Now I jest need to figure out how replace that "Door" with a new one :)
Yes, soon after that reply from me I was able to replace the blend door after purchasing a new door (I believe the mfg is Doorman). The process was somewhat easy, however if you have large hands it might prove difficult (I have medium size hands).
@@prakashksinha: No need to remove the whole dashboard. I pretty mush followed the way the guy did it in the video. I remopved the blower gan and removed the glove compartment door. I have to open up the access slot a bit to get my hands inside.
Yes my door was broken same place by the hinge and took it out through fan hole. Doorman makes a replacement door for like $25 but I run my AC on recirculate 100% of the time for the coldest setting. I think your fix is mixing air from the outside its not max AC its not recirculate wont be as cold on a hot day and fumes in traffic its letting outside air in being in South Florida. there is another video where the guy blocked the fresh air inlet under the cowling with flex tape so outside air is blocked Im taking that route and super quick fix. The screws are are removed 3 ways flat head, torx 25, and 5/16 socket. The torx worked the best for me. I didn't remove the seat but it was a mother to get to the back screw all did it by feeling around and took pics with my cellphone upside down was easier to put back in then to take out
I have a 2007 2500 and it doesnt blow hard. I was searching how to clean the filter,is there a filter? After reading all these comments has me wondering if this might be my issue? If it is the issue and folllow this video, do you leave the door out as a temporary fix or do you fix it later? And if you remove the door what does this affect?
Mine has started to have low airflow on full blast as well. Before I remove the thing, should or could I just take the cowl off thr outside and use some duct tape or similar to block off the outside intake venthole so it's just on recirculation forever? Also is there another actuator that does the vent selection like for defrost vents and stuff
Hi, would this cause the a/c to come out warm on drivers side, if all is ok on the outside so that what they say anyway, did a evac and recharge and no leaks but it smelled so this was another reason i took it to pep boys. uhhhhhhhg! i'm so frustrated!!!! please help???!!!!
FTG Grandsole i can only think of 2 reasons of the top of my head why it be warm 1. Your system is low on refrigerant witch you recharged 2. Your ac Compressor isnt working or has a short so its not kicking on pushing cold air in, but your saying your just getting warm air on driver side so cant be that either since your getting cold air on the other side. Im not sure to be honest as far as the smell i had the same problem on one of my other trucks my heater core was busted so coolant leaked inside my hvac so when i turned my ac on i get that smell blasted right in my face pretty sure thats not safe to be inhaling so replaced the heater core and cleaned out the hvac solved that problem sorry for the long respond hope some of that was helpful in some way
That is the recirculation vent door. And it doesnt let air out it opens so the blower sucks air through that opening instead of the vent in your cowl. When the blower is running its pluuling air into the center of the blade and blowing out the sides of the fan into the hvac box. Pulling the broken door out isnt fixing it. Its putting it in constant recirculate. Pull it apart and replace the door along with all the other blend doors. From the looks of the recirc door your hvac box is full of shit and should be cleaned out. Your breathing junk everytime you turn it on.
Hello, question i just bought a 2003 dodge ram 1500 and Im having the same issue ( not enough air coming out of the vents). I went ahead and took the blower out but i did have any door laying on it. It looks like it was already removed. But i keep not getting enough air. Do you happen to know what else could be? Thanks
Hey good job man, I was about to spend 400 bucks to have someone fix it. Did the whole thing myself, with your help ofcourse. 👊👍

Thank you, real life saver. Worked as good as when I first bought my 05.
Thanks dude! That literally took me 2 minutes to do and air blows hard now
Thanks bro I haven’t had my truck a month and I was concerned. I fixed it with a screwdriver in 15 minutes!! ✊🏾✊🏾
So you left your door in the up position? Does that out it in outside air or recirc?
Worked perfect and saved me a lot of money, thanks for the video
Thanks for this information. I see your helping alot of people out here. It REALLY worked on mine no more problems

blend door usa makes aluminum versions of all the doors in that HVAC box...they are expensive, but it will fix it permanently
Bruh thanks a ton God bless you this method worked out perfect for my truck. I'm rolling around everywhere with the ac on and windows up lmao

Hey Nice Video. Question... does removing the door affect the window defrost in the winter?
Is it ok to remove the door completely? Thanks for the lesson.
Don't forget to check the electrical connectors at the blower speed controller a blower module for evidence of melting around terminals. The blower will likely not blow as well if you got a poor connection.
Edgar: Thanks. Very Helpful. Winter is coming on in North Idaho and i need heat and defrost.
This was perfect I had the exact same problem thank you for your help

Thanks a lot good job my fan do not work no any glow wind if you have any information the blowing do not run or move
Thanks for sharing bro good to know with the spring and summer come

Is there a cabin air filter in these trucks?
