    Thanks so much. I tried cleaning the connectors with electrical cleaner first. And it worked. Strong fan. And resistor still good.

    My replacement went just as shown! I had just bought doughnuts and turned my heater on as I left the parking lot. The fan didnt blow. I MIGHT have said to myself "is the fan busted?" or "is my heater screwed up" and maybe my phone heard me, because this video was in my Recommended videos when I got home. Creepy, but.... The fix you show worked out exactly as in the video and my heater is blasting now after a five minute fix. Great vid. Thanks!

    It took me several times to run the video and I think I got it right now. I am assuming the blower motor resister fits in ONE WAY only . Just don't want to blow up the system..hope u do MORE VIDEOS just more details that you may have had missed. Thanks alot ! Just how to remove the glove compartment was missing!

    what if its blowing intermittently - sometimes itscold other times not, i have a 2015 prius, ive been having to keep refilling my refrigerant and thats usually a short term fix, i feel like i have so many issues with my air conditioning its just one thing after another.

  • @dripy9159
    @dripy9159 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

    What if mine isn’t blowing at all? Can I be a really or can it actually be the resistor if it isn’t blowing anything at all? I put on high in my 09’ prius and absolutely nothing happens..plz let me know doctor thanks!

  • @asyouwish9567
    @asyouwish9567 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    As far as I know my fan is blowing well but I hear this loud moaning sound behind the glove compartment. Some people have suggested is a baffle that opens and closes the vents. I can't quite find it. At first it seemed to do this only about once a week. Now it is more frequent. It also seems to happen when unusually hard braking. It goes away when I turn off the fan or drop it to the lowest setting . Then it works again. Its good to see how to take apart the unit. I imagine this could be a strong candidate. But I haven't found a video that mentions this symptom of mine associated with this regulator.

    • @gwmck1
      @gwmck1 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's what I'm having now, four years later. Thought it was the blower motor. Disconnected it and still whines during startup and when A/C is high.

    My blower is working but i have to tap it to go high. It's ice cold when blowing . Nit a bump it can stop tap it once goes med, tap 2nd little higher 3rd full blast but sounds sort of like the way rain hits your roof when stopped hard , lower, hard lower .

  • @justdissin7340
    @justdissin7340 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a 1989 Lincoln Town Car. When I turn my A/C from cold to hot, the fan stays on but the air stops coming through the vents.
    Also, if I select floor, the fan shuts completely off.
    I have switched out the panel control switches, it did the same. Changed the resistor. Same problem.
    What do you think it may be?
    Thanks in advance sir..
