Thank you! This was exactly what I needed! I'm a single mom and the last thing I need is expensive car repairs. I did this myself for less than $14, but your video made that possible. You are appreciated!
Thank you!!! I just walked inside from doing this. The mechanic shop quoted 50$ for a wire test and 350 for a motor blower and installation if that was the issue. I watched your video spent 15$ and vans fixed.
Thanks bud! You saved my ass last night - got the parents-in-law vehicle all maintained, and 'clunk' no fan. Your fix allowed me to skid into home base looking like a hero.
I had a mechanic fix mine. I thought it was a complex problem. Fortunately, he gave me the old part. Found out he got it from the junkyard. It failed the next day. Watched TH-cam to see this video. He easily said he would take $100. I was born at night but not last night. I went to AutoZone, spent $13 for a new replacement resistor. 2 minutes and I was done. The moral of the story; look it up on TH-cam before running for help
Great video! I just replaced the blower motor resistor pack in a 2001 Chrysler Voyager. I've got heat and air again! Thanks for the video. The part was
Thanks for this quick lesson. I have an 07 Dodge Grand Caravan. The blower for the front has worked sporadically since I got the car. Today it ran from start up to half way thru the trip. Last week I experienced something I hope to never happen again. No front fan means no defrost. So I'm driving when the window starts to ice up on the inside. Tried wiping and clawing, it just got worse. Half way I took the windshield wiper blue solution and put it on a sponge. Using this to melt the ice enabled me to finish the trip but I'll say it was very difficult
Leo , thanks for the video, it is perfect. It was exactly what my 2006 caravan needed. I checked my fuses, relays and were all good. Then I came across your video. Thanks so much 👍🏻
Thanks Leo!!! Man, this was so easy and it took me only about 5 minutes to replace on my 2005 Caravan. Seems to be blowing even stronger now. Autozone rep kept trying to sale me the actual motor. I told him I wanted to try this first. Saved me a lot of time and about 75 bucks for the new motor. Thanks again bro.
Thanks man was exactly my problem didn't take, but a few minutes especially having the proper size tool like he said. Cost was around what he said give or take a dollar or so.
Leo you are the man!!!! Thanks so much for posting this video! Here at the auto part store, 20$ later I have heat as I type! Honestly thanks so much for making and posting this video!
I would like to add to the comments as well, and say THANK YOU for posting this for all of us. I. drove to the auto parts store, bought the $17 part, and plugged it in. Boom. Thank you a million times!
Thanks for the vid. I just had to move the connections around a bit and the heater started working again. Probably needs replacing but is good for now. Mine is a 2002 Grand Caravan Sport.
Bless you sir!! Our car front heat had stopped working for a week or so now and today it was 8 degrees outside. We got the part and with a lil elbow grease(the part was a bit rusted on) it was put on and started working. Bless ya sir, bless you. 😭👍💝💕
This video came up in a search. This was exactly what was wrong with my van. Thank you so much for posting this video. You saved me a bunch of time figuring out what to do for this!
Mine was just loose and/or corroded electrical connectors on the resistor. I didn't even remove the glove box completely. Just undid the side retainers and dropped it down as Leo describes. With the resistor area exposed I unclipped the connectors and saw a little corrosion and some slightly melted plastic on the connector block. Sprayed them with penatrent and I am back in business. Got lucky. thanks Leo.
Thank you so much for this video!!! YOU saved my marriage. its middle of summer here in Toronto Canada and its a HOT HUMID DISASTER!!. i have an 07 Caravan and it seems like there was already an aftermarket one installed so i was kinda puzzled. I cleaned off the contacts because they seemed a little corroded. Plugged it back in and BAM good as new. Thanks again for taking the time to make this video!!
Thanks for posting this! Im borrowing my moms van n this happened n i started to panic at how much this was gonna cost to fix. U have put my mind at ease so thank you😁
Thank you so much for great video, I get out 3 am from work and its freezing and the heater not working. BiG help thanks again. Best Father Award for you.
Thanks man! You saved my ma a lot of time and money. Watched your video after I came over to her place and checked the fuses and didn’t know what was goin on. 👍
Thank you!!!! It worked. I thought I was going to have to replace the whole blower, and I wasn't looking forward to it. Mine is a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan, and the part cost just over $17 at Auto Zone...they had it in stock even in my small town.
The blower with wheel is only $96 on the Mopar site, the resister is $25 but its a genuine Mopar part, I don't trust autozone, O'Reilies etc, they get the cheapest junk made in China
Thanku so much i just wiggled wire i never knew was in glove box.thought needed fuse or more expensive...because i watched this video its a warm night since we getting winter april thanku for your time.
You are great Leo!! went to autozone but i found that their part was faulty, after going to Oreilly's auto parts and trying another one and it was only 17 dollars,that one worked and i am not going back to buttzone.I would like to send you a Christmas card and i do not usually send them anymore or some kind of tip for saving us money,if that can not happen then, Have a Merry Christmas.
fast fretting Thanks for the great comment I’m glad the video helped you out! I tried to private message you but couldn’t figure out how. Merry Christmas! 🎄
Thanks for showing that the new version of resistor is the replacement for the old "boxed" version that shows separate coil windings. The idiots that make the new one (Autovalue) don't have a note with the new one that explains it is the replacement one. I hate to find out after I install the new one, making it unreturnable , that it is wrong! You dun good!!!! :-)
Also curious if it helped. My van has warm air coming out of the front vents but is not blowing on any of the fan settings. My van is 2000 dodge caravan, I’m going to go to Advance Auto Parts tomorrow to see if they have the blower motor resistor.
fuse box is under hood by the battery. Remove cover. Diagram is on back of cover. Front and rear relays are side by side. They are black and pull out. If rear works try switching. If front doesnt work now, it's not the fuse. Use a 12 volt lighted circuit checker and check output from resister in back of glove box with the switch on high. If it lights up, not the resister, it's the blower motor
Hopefully this isnt too old of a video to ask, but what's the next step when you do this and it changes nothing? My rear blower is working but the front isn't, regardless of temperature. Replaced this psrt properly but with the same unfortunate results I started with. Any ideas, please?
Check the relays in the fuse box under the hood by the battery. They are marked location on the back of the cover. One relay for front blower, one for the back. If the back (rear) blower works, switch the two relays. If it's the relay, Your front blower should now work and the rear not. If it still doesn't work, use a lighted 12 volt circuit checker and see if you have electricity going from resistor to the blower. If no, it is the resistor or a connection to the resistor. If yes, it is the blower motor itself. check videos to replace.
I have a 1999 Plymouth Voyager 4 cylinder 2.4L engine and the blower motor also does not blow any air any more; the blower motor on full speed was not blowing air very fast; and now it no longer blows air at all; is it the blower motor or the blower motor resistor; or both the blower motor and the blower resister pack?
I'll have to test mine in the daylight, it suddenly stopped working to-day, fuse or relay looks good, rear blower works, but mine is 2004 and the heavy wires are orange and black not green and black like yours, so they changed something,
@@Mylifeaslizz214 There is always going to be some heat and the faster you drive the more it will come out, but if the blower motor is working, it will force it out. That's what it's for.
I got the same van what's going on with mine is it's blowing but the heater is not working but when I step on the gas you could feel the heat from the engine can you tell me how to fix it
I have a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT. Would this be the same for it? Is there a way to jump the resistor to force the fan to go to HIGH just to confirm its not the fan motor? Regardless of what speed I have the front knob set to I can just sense some very slight heat. I also noticed once I am on the road traveling I feel it coming out a little stronger but still no difference between any position on on the knob. I have to check the OFF position to confirm I get nothing not even a slight amount. Where is the resistor for the Rear control located and could I swapped them to verify the problem with the Front? Thanks Ken
I'm back in business with a $15.49 blower motor resistor. I have trouble shoot the bad part to the fuse. I can't make out the part number on it. If you still have yours could you tell me the number on the fuse
@@lj-qg9jm . Turns out the wiring at that relay was bad. OMG I could go crazy. But caravan/Town country is still the best but for used cars. 3.3L 3.8L 4.0L are rock solid. But now that Chrysler 2010 sold out I would use caution and follow the reveiws.
if you have a multi meter, check the power coming out of the resistor, its the farthest right plugs to the green and black wires if the power isnt 12v on the highest setting then the resistor is the problem if not its the blower
Leo Wells Hanks for the info. I filled it up with coolant still blows cold air on my side every other vent blows hit air. I'm just worried I'll get charged an arm and a leg if I take it to the shop. It's hard to find an honest Mechanic. Thanks for your help and video!
P. Perez on my van the driver and passenger side can have different temps. Only other thing I could think of is maybe both switches aren’t on heat. Or something that controls those switches is broken. Good luck! 👍🏼
Thank you.it worked for me.i did it in two minutes.it happened to me while we had minus 42!!I checked the fuses then I saw your video.thumps up!
That's worse than my location in Alberta, Canada. I'd move and quit screwing around with the heater.
I did exactly what you instructed, it worked perfectly! thank you very much!I paid 12$ on Amazon!
this guy just saved me from soo much suffering that was starting to get worse here in FL.

I have the same problem. The front fan stopped working. But the back fan works. I guess if I get this blower motor resistor it might fix the problem
John W have the same issue, did this fix it?

I have same exact issue. If one of you switch the resistor did it work?
Does anyone know?
Thanks for your video my father inlaw had the same problem, I fixed it quick.
Thanks so much I'm hoping this is what's happening with mine the only difference is that mine is a 2010
You might have just saved me a crap load of time trouble shooting thanks.
thanks alot. found this video today, just put the part in right before 10:00 when AutoZone closes... AC blowin snow frost again...
Best video so far about this.Nice snd simple
are the electrical connection just pull off and push back on?
Nicely done!
Nice u fix it the heater problem 😊
Came here to say thanks your video saved my life

Helped me greatly. Thank You Brother
Worked like a charm. Thanks for the video!!!!

Thanks for the help 👍
My air/heat doesnt blow like it used to. It blows but hardly at all. I have a 2005 dodge caravan do you think this is the same problem?
Elizabeth Caruso it could be. I’d start there because it’s inexpensive. Or maybe the blower motor needs to be replaced.
It also blows stronger when im on the highway lol so idk. Thank you!!

I got the same van what's going on with mine is it's blowing but the heater is not working but when I step on the gas you could feel the heat from the engine can you tell me how to fix it
Maby the door blend actuator. It controls the door flap that allows hot or cold in cabin by opening and closing.
Check the radiator fluid level , if too low top it up

Before the heater stop working did u smell burning
No burning smell on mine
yes, we had this happen
Wonderful Man
What about the rear heater fan
My heat/air went out at the same time. Will that part work for both?
Yes, This unit only controls the fan speed operation. The same fan is in use either on cooling or on heat.
Thx it help sir
My blower motor stays on all the time ,all speeds are high and as long as u got the key on it’s blowing... what’s wrong with it???????
Brian Hanna The blower motor resistor will do this also when it goes bad
Thank u for your info well replace it tomarrow
My resistor is $70!
Jessica Kline that’s yuck. I’d look around.. but some parts for certain cars are just overpriced.
Leo Wells scrap yard aswell.
My rear fan works but not the front. I just replaced the front fan.
did this work for you ?

Blower motor resistor

Is that 100% is going to work I'm having issues with my blower is stopping after few seconds I check that part looks really old

if the power isnt 12v on the highest setting then the resistor is the problem if not its the blower
But my issue is. Air blows only it isn't hot. Would changing this part also help?
P. Perez you could just be low on coolant. I’d check that first.
