He speaks of having to do the work in tight spaces, I can barely even open the passenger door in the space I have to work on mine. I crawled in from the driver's side ending up on my back on passenger floorboard with legs somehow up on the seats. Took me ten minutes to just get myself out of that position last night lol! I've watched a few videos on this and get the basics. But when I look at it on my 99 gmc suburban it looks different. Now I'm trying to figure out how to access it all. Someone else commented they wanted to find the cover that covers it all. That may be what I'm dealing with. It's not obvious how it comes apart without breaking it and perhaps that is why they are hard to find. All the more reason I don't want to break it to get to the blower motor.
It might if the motor is bad Also Water can get into the air box from the cowl there is plate seal that goes bad leaks water and shorts them out. The Truck featured here has all weed smoke in it, It packs the blower evaporator and and heat sinks with this black sticky tar like resin. I don't do that stupid crap. But I think it could be a reason on why these keep failing here. I never seen a blower motor get so black from the smoke
@Ghetto Wagon the motor is good I believe but one side of the resistor that plugs into the motor is burnt out and no water had got to it but I did notice water does get in previously. I did buy a cheap resistor from Amazon so I thought that was the reason as well. I replaced it a couple of times now and domt know why it keeps Burning out.
I have a 2005 Tahoe. The HVAC controls are the digital type. I turned the truck on and the blower came on. I turned off the truck and the blower stayed on high. The blower speed control didnt adjust the speed. I pulled the 40 Amp fuse and the fan went off. I'm thinking that something in the control panel has cross circuited. This spring the blower wouldn't come on at all. I pulled a fuse out of the panel at the end of the dash, cleaned the milky corrosion off the blades and the blower came back on. Does anyone have some ideas?
ya i just had to take this out 2 weeks ago and clean it., Black with smoke resin ash and other garbage from the clown who drives it. not me Whole blower was off balance. Now quiet
Here's an important tip regarding all fuses. My directional signal stopped working and at another time my blower failed. I pulled the fuse in the panel at the driver's end of the dash, checked the fuse for being blown and corrosion, scrapped the blades with my thumb nail and saw a white substance appear. I whipped them off on a course rage and reinstalled it and I haven't had a problem since. Moisture in some form must get in.
It makes it a lot easier, if you remove the white electrical box, it gets it out of your way. ALWAYS buy an original OEM AC Delco heart motor, they fit perfectly.
@@GhettoWagon They're still GM parts. The white box that was in your way, while you were trying to put the new heater motor in, the module you replaced several times.
If it works it works Really need to do some more repairs ton of lights are out inside too. Need to rebulb the steering wheel buttons the electronic hvac and the 4wd switch might just buy a big pack of tiny bulbs
Rear cover ? Ya they tear up. it used to be lifetime warranty now only 10 year on the tarp. Was good when it snowed got no snow in bed. But you could not take it off... It shrunk bad It was a fight to get it back on
@@Nordic_Mechanic Ooh that plastic piece. They probably good here want one if I can find one? Probably costs 3-5 at the junkyard. I can ship it as a "used gift" so u pay no extra. Shipping will be at min 25-30 though cause canada is retarded. It big
@@Nordic_Mechanic Ill look next time i'm in the hood. They have alot of GMT800s now. Send it as "Used Gift" My caprice friend is in Quebec always have to send him stuff that way. pays no fees. Gotta dig up part numbers though they have alot of rusty Reg cab pool trucks or landscape trucks. Should be the same cover for the console trucks like this thing here. They easier to fish out than the console trucks I have no idea where what holds the rest of it in under the console.
My 2006 Silverado air conditioning stops working off and on randomly. Had the coolant replaced and didn’t help. Compressor is fine. No leaks. The fan works fine. When the cold air stops all on its own here and there, fan still going, the air seems more humid only then (when the cold quits) and smells slightly wet. It’s started the day I got it back from a fuel pump change…
@@GhettoWagon Thanks for the input. When I take it to the shop they can’t get it to repeat so they send me home but I have a road trip coming up across the desert. Where I live it’s not hot but I can’t handle it if the air-conditioning fails while it’s 115 outside on the highway!

@@jeanies8495 Tell the shop to drive it more and maybe check the compressor clutch coil or the AC compressor cycling switch its on the AC drier silver thing by the fire wall passenger side, has a switch on it, screw on, snap on connector u dont need to recharge the AC to replace just 1 plug, use a wrench quickly untread it., check and make sure the O ring under it is not destroyed if so you need a cent green AC o ring at the parts store.

There is also a AC compressor relay in the under hood fuse box that could be "seasoned" so it works when it wants to I had them go bad on me The contacts inside fry but it works sometimes then you hit a bump. and its disconnects.
Save yourself some money and keep the original. If it's just making some racket but still working, you can spray some love into the small hole in the black plastic. Should take care of your issue. I used lithium grease into it with the tube that every can of lube has, and it took care of my issue. No need to replace it.
The Original Bosch blower motor failed a long time ago. No these ones just burn up the brushes because its ran all day all year long here. When you have to bang on blower motors to make them work its worn
Sorry about not watching the whole video. I just needed to know how to get it out. Thank you sir!
Pry the tab down so easy 7 mm screw
Thanks for the video. I just pulled mine out and cleaned out some leaves. Sounds great now.
yea this one was all dirty cleaned it about a month ago way quieter and more air flow

I'm looking at this for my 99 sub as well. And the control panel thing.
Wow thays simple as hell. Thanks for the video
Yup eazy
My module resistor kept blowing out. Does replacing the motor help with that?

@@Spanks559 Pull off the cowl plastic there is some plate with a foam gasket that dries out put RTV around it
How hard is it to remove if the tab is broken?
should just spin out. But if not hook it , hook the blower motor tab slow where the tab should be with a pick tool
@@GhettoWagon good idea! Thanks
thumbs up for the color commentary
Great video bud, thanks!
No problem 👍

the blower can sometimes stay on on when the fan module is bad
this will fix if the 2nd and 3rd setting blow doesn’t work?
no
Try the resistor
Thats likely the resistor, as mentioned. You can find them on Amazon pretty cheap. Common issue
😂because your place might be horrible too 😂😂 commentary on point! Ty
Ya this place really is horrible down the street in all directions is better. I proven this to myself many times.
Thank you sir. Hugely helpful still.
ya i just had to take this out 2 weeks ago and clean it., Black with smoke resin ash and other garbage from the clown who drives it. not me Whole blower was off balance. Now quiet
I thought you had to disconnect the negative on the battery to do that.
you can if you want keep the key off

The ac delco motors are just rebranded Korea motors now Not sure what you mean by white box.

Thanks bro 😎
NP. Easy job. All these replacement fans dont blow as good as the original bosch one but you cannot buy it. :(
mine's tired as well, but heh, I have other cars if it fails so im getting every little bits of life out of it
If it works it works Really need to do some more repairs ton of lights are out inside too. Need to rebulb the steering wheel buttons the electronic hvac and the 4wd switch might just buy a big pack of tiny bulbs
I want a cover, never had one in the truck and they are allllways gone in scrapyards
Rear cover
? Ya they tear up. it used to be lifetime warranty now only 10 year on the tarp. Was good when it snowed got no snow in bed. But you could not take it off... It shrunk bad It was a fight to get it back on
@@GhettoWagon No , the cover under the heater box. Never had it.

Maybe the compressor cycling switch on the drier is failing. Or the compressor coil is worn so it disengages at random

@@GhettoWagonYeah, my old civic compressor relay was “seasoned” did the same thing. Took me a little while to figure that one out.
You didn't show taking off the insulated cover of the fan motor itself, it only has two bolts but the back one is a huge pain in the ass!!!!
No its not it comes right off I had this out countless times.

@@jasonhumphry5836 You cant on a GMT 800 because there is no access to the bearings.
@@GhettoWagon thanks for the info 👍
I been twisting on this stupid thing for days tryn to get it back in.
its just a tab on a screw like thing line it up turn it, its the easy one I ever changed. are you using a OEM blower maybe the new one is molded bad
@@GhettoWagon thanx, got it right after I posted that lol.
@@fwdreday9723 ya its just on a little track. Just remember where the tab has to end up and clock it right
if you put a Gm blower motor in it would last forever
All they make is these now. No not here nothing lasts
And,,, if that were true about the GM blower motors then they would never need replacing in the first place.
It's a brushed motor....the brushes wear out...
U The only thing that 8:13 8:14 and a quarter is not a good number of
She sounds good when you started it up. Don't junk it.
Still works has almost 200k on it now . The owner pretty much trashed it tho has like 8k in damages allover it
Last time I cleaned a blower, she didn't work either........
I cleaned maybe 2 years ago and the whole airbox as best as I could through the small holes That fan cage was wrecked on it.
Got a AC guy to install a new blower and it's loud as shit. Can't hear the radio. Pretty sure he threw in a used pos so now gonna put one in myself
could be just a cheap unit
