Good tips. Took about 15 minutes total including cleaning the condensate tray and replacing the filter. Saved the old motor and will buy new brushes and keep swapping them until the car dies. Prefer the Japanese original fan to the aftermarket.
Thank you so much for the video. Just bought an 08 Prius and after about a thousand miles it started making a horrible nose in the air box. Watched your video and found out that on that tray on the bottom there was actually acorns 😂😂😂... And while I had that out I decided to take the fan out to and scratch off all the dirt of 270k miles...
Can’t thank you enough. I brought my Prius before it even ran and I’ve been fixing it ever since. I just fixed at midnight in Texas where the heat was 102° in early June. Lol this is great!
The mice and leaves get in through the back of the hood. I have replaced mine twice and about to be a third time on a 2008 Prius. Too bad Toyota couldn’t have attached it like some Camrys. A simple under the dash fit with no cage.
Started to replace the Fan but didn't get past the filter. when I pulled it out I found the whole cavity filled with mice bedding, after taking all that out I found a mouse dead, took it out and all works well, will replace the filter. Thanks.
This video is so dam clear to see I thought he repaired it right in front of me ! Not sure how the wires connect ! I am sure if one mistake it can blow out damage the whole system related!! 😍😎🤣
Dealer was gonna charge me $300 just to change the filter and clean the blower motor. Actually insane but thank you for the detailed short video! Gonna save a poor college age kid from these dealerships haha
I followed your example. This took me 35 minutes and would’ve taken less if I had used a torx bit to remove the three screws holding in the fan. Thank you.
@@eby6114 there's already a nice tutorial somewhere on TH-cam if you need guidance lol The part they didn't cover is swapping the computer parts from the old battery to the new battery.
Lil Asian Grocery LLC controller or whatever is in there attached to the hybrid battery I had to swap to the new battery. It’s mostly nuts and bolts. Just be careful when attaching terminal wires.
Are they bolts or screws on main outer housing and motor. Thoughts saw tork heads in there but could not tell if your using a Phillips or what on them.
My 2010 Prius whenever I pressed the recirculation button with A/C on, no cold air come out from the front right vent( center), do you know what cause and fix this problem?
Grab a flashlight if your not already using one and inspect the two pieces. Make sure they're clean and compatible. A bent prong will not allow them to plug in as well.
It sounds ridiculous but if it's brushes for the electric motor are going out just slapping the glove box can jar it (the blower motor) into working temporarily. Usually if it's a relay only one of the speeds quit. You can also try other can speeds by removing it from auto and try slower speeds. If this restarts it then go ahead and replace the blower. They're cheap even buying it new.
Is this the thing that howls/whines? I have an issue where something behind the glove box intermittently moans. Some people have said something about a baffle that opens and closes the vents that might be causing it.
I'd first just check the filter first. It seems like a design flaw but mine allowed a ton of tree debris to come in and there was probably at least a cup of dirt pollen etc in front of my filter
@@eby6114 The first thing I checked was the filter. But my car is garaged, so no leaves and its clear. Even so I am sure the loud moaning is something mechanical. But man your response was really fast. So thank you very much!
@@eby6114 Problem is it will go a week and nothing, then it goes off all the time. The issue is more likely to happen if I brake pretty hard. This seems to take some energy from this fan. I didn't see anything wrong with the fan. At one point I tried some WD40 but doubt it did anything. Some say its a baffle that opens and closes the vents. Its happening more often. When it is consistant I will open it up again.
Hi my prius blows cold on electric only but hot when engine is on. I am seeing it maybe actuator door flap motors. Do you get to these in the same way as you have got to this blower? Please help me 😢
Are you looking for heat or cold? If it's heat sounds like your electric pump isn't working but when the engine is on a mechanical pump is moving water. If it's cold your looking for let me know
Yeah I think your right that the actuator door motor is probably stuck. It's not an uncommon problem. You can try to access it and free it up manually. With the engine not running coolant isn't circulated, door is still open. When the motor runs circulating the coolant then you can feel it. For temporary you might manually open/close the door with a lawnmower throttle control cable for like 10 bucks or so. Whatever works best for your situation. Amazon has some nice looking ones. Not sure what an actuator motor cost. I just priced a idle control bearing parts for 267.00 before tax. I decided to just replace the bearing for 50.00 why are people so greedy these days
@@eby6114thanks again and I agree there is too many greedy folks out there. My car is over 17 years old! Will the dashboard need to be taken apart? Could it not be a faulty compressor not running off the engine?
@@alphaomega7868 I believe it's behind the climate control module...the heat AC controls. It's attached to the air tubes. AC compressor work off electric motor not engine motor. You wouldn't want to mess with that anyway. I know some people take apart the flap motor lube it and all is well. You might climb into the floorboard with the car on and change the hot cold mechanism to see if you can hear the mechanical noise of it to pin point it's location. It should take much effort to remove the cover of the climate heater AC cover lower dash area.
The screws on my blower motor are T25. I just finished replacing the motor for the third time over several years. FYI it is easy. I have very limited dexterity in my right hand (cerebral palsy). So I basically did this with one hand. Another post was right. It takes about an hour. Hints: 1. When installing the new motor, replace the screw closest to the passenger seat first. The other holes will line up perfectly. 2. After reconnecting the power cord to the motor be sure to put the two wires in the small slot on the bottom cover of the motor housing.

4 years later, still saving people money! Many thanks!
Yes - Great video - helped allot - but just in case anyone is wondering - it is an 8mm socket for the three fan bolts/screws.
You just saved me $400, and my wife is so happy to have heat and air back in her car. Thank you!!
You are the best ! I live in FL, so this part is really necessary in our lives 😂😂😂 XOXO
Thank you, sir! Just bought a Prius a few days ago, blower motor wouldn't work. Turns out a mouse was living in it.
Some people mistake the engine for a mouse 😂
I too have had mice bedding in the filter compartment.
Thanks man...mine's at the "bang on it" stage I found out. Thumbs up 👍
Haha Current struggle, gotta kick the lower dash pretty hard to get some heat! Got the new one and about to instal!
@@aaronguest6579 it wasn't hard.
Thank you I just finished installing mine a few minutes ago. It took about an hour. Thank you once again for this video.

Thanks a lot, I was thinking it is much more difficult to get to the motor, but it's relatively easy, no need to remove whole assembly.

I really appreciate the vid man! My blower is old as dirt, 2007. Just now, 2021, is starting to act squirrely.
omg!! driving to work, first month no pay.... and guess what, new car for the commute has no blower power. So happy you posted this video
Love ur hard work in time ur video helps me a lot thank u !
Thanks man. Saved me a lot of money and anxiety
The dealership wanted to charge me $1400 to replace this part. Thanks man you saved me so much money.
Thanks so much for posting this. Saves us a lot of money.
having this exact same issue. gotta tap it to get it to engage. Thanks for the video.
Can’t thank you enough. I brought my Prius before it even ran and I’ve been fixing it ever since. I just fixed at midnight in Texas where the heat was 102° in early June. Lol this is great!
Wow! I am so impressed you have no mouse infestation! Great video too. Thanks

Wow good thing you found it before it started to smell
Thank you! I just repaired mine myself!
Thank you! Followed your instructions and was successful. Wish I had replaced the blower motor a year ago!
Need to take the spare out of my 2007 prius and put it into my 2008 model this helped a lot
Thanks for your help, much appreciated
This video is so dam clear to see I thought he repaired it right in front of me ! Not sure how the wires connect ! I am sure if one mistake it can blow out damage the whole system related!! 😍😎🤣
The power connector only fits one way. Very easy.
Thx man...itll be just a matter of time b4 mine will go out...not quite to the" bang on it" stage...
Thank you so much for the video it was a lot help God bless 🙌 🙌 🙌
Thank you for the video.. but yes, we do want to see you pull out the screws. It would be helpful.
you've saved me bro thank you
You could also use a flathead screwdriver to push the tab and gently pull the wires simultaneously to prevent damage
Thank you! It worked great!

Thank you. My sis did the same thing as soon as it fell out, it started to work again. I said nope!
Great video! You saved me close to $500!
That's awesome! I plan on making a super video in the next month about the battery. Crossing fingers on that one. It's never been done
@@eby6114 there's already a nice tutorial somewhere on TH-cam if you need guidance lol The part they didn't cover is swapping the computer parts from the old battery to the new battery.
@@RennieAsh ? Computer parts?

@@RennieAsh Oh? Sorry the picture that popped up under your statement was of my blower replacement video this the confused answer
Man, most cars it takes hours upon hours to get to the blower motor, having to take apart the entire dash. Toyota did it right with this one.
Thank you 🙏 God bless you!
very good....thanks

Repoaced mine but now motor blower fully works but no air comes out of the vents need help
Which year? Cause EACH year CLD be different access!!
thanks!
Awesome so that’s the Main Culprit for Heater not Working My 07 Prius Heat button in the Stering Weel won’t work at all
YES!
Best!!!🎉
Yeah how do you put the white plastic tray back in? Only the two front screws line up.
Did you rotate your blower. It sits in there specific.
Any word how you fixed this Chuck. I can't get it on either. Motor is in the right place
Whats the yr of your prius & part number of that motor assembly?
i’m having a hard time putting in the wire with the black tip back into my brand new fan. any tips? i live in hawaii so it’s always hot without ac!
Grab a flashlight if your not already using one and inspect the two pieces. Make sure they're clean and compatible. A bent prong will not allow them to plug in as well.
Mine just stopped working with no warning and no noises. Any fuse or relay I should look at?

Soy latino y te digo gracias me ahorre 180$ del mecánico, si te pudiera dar 2 líneas lo haría.
Gracias amigo.
10mm
Where is the resistor? Bruh
It should be to the right of the blower in that group of computer boxes
Very easy my ass
hopefully you see that comment:/
