In this video, I will show you how to remove and replace a fan blower motor in a Pontiac Vibe or Toyota Matrix. This is a pretty easy process and doesn't take much work. Please like and subscribe if this helped you!
Tools Needed:
Phillips screw driver
5.5 mm socket with wrench
Trim piece puller
Thanks for the video! I have a pontiac vibe and my blower is not working and I didn't want to pay hundreds of dollars to have someone else replace it. Now I can fix it myself.
+aktwin2 that is awesome!!! Good luck on the repair!!! :) thanks for watching!!
And did u????
GREAT VIDEO!!! Used this to fix my 2005 Toyota Matrix. Few things to note:
-To remove those “Christmas Tree” clips, I used the back of a hammer (claw) to remove them
-In my Matrix, there doesn’t seem to be a “boot”. Just a plug (which BTW, went upwards into the blower instead of sideways)
-I was able to use a screwdriver to get the three bolts off. Socket wrench didn’t seem necessary - my car mightve been a bit different.
The hardest part was getting the fan back in. Fighting gravity while upsidedown in an awkward position was not fun, but the video helped me get the job done! Thanks for posting
excellent video. fan was vibrating like crazy will work on this tomorrow and let you know the outcome. thanks
Good luck!!!!! Very interested in the outcome!
Thank you for saving me time and money. Much appreciated !
Thanks for the video it proved to be helpful I'm going to do it myself
Thanks for the help. My cable was just loose
See thats what im curioys for mine. Sometimes takes few miles to kick on. I kinda wana see if anythings loose or whatever. Dont want to waste time ordering part for nothing if its a simple fix.
Thanks! I'll be trying this out next week.
You are very welcome!!!
Chad Williams Worked perfectly for my 2005 model Vibe! Fixed my own A/C for less than $40. Thanks again.
Charlie Finnessy was either if you having an issue with car turning off beforehand has only been working on high when turn heater is on n today when turned on it shut car off and then I shut heat off and car was running again without me turning over the key and it did it again. just got a new battery a few weeks ago.
Awesome video
Thank you for the video you just save me some $$$ very helpful thank so much.
I saw a filter there too. Did you change it as well? sometimes it could be that filter is just dirty, but it seems like it was the blower motor in this case. Thank you for the video.
Give the wiring harness a few tabs with the handle of a screwdriver while holding down the clip that holds it in. It should pop out
Good idea! I will remember that for next time.
I have a 2008 Toyota Matrix. The heater squeals until it's been running for a while (for a couple of years) and now the AC squeals too. Also, heater seems to only work best on high. Should I replace the entire fan or do you think it is just the Blower motor resister? (I will open it up and clean it first. We live off a dirt road so likely dirty).
How did you know the motor was bad and not just the resistor? My van motor stopped and thankfully i watched a video like yours and replaced the motor resistor (simple and cheap plug in piece), fan started right up. Now my sons motor stopped.
If the resistor was bad, it would only blow on High setting, not the intermediate settings. This one didn't have that symptom. So, we replaced the whole motor to take care of it.
@@ChadWilliamsFixesAll thanks... mine isnt blowing at all, but ive already purchased the resistor. See how it goes.
Well it wasnt the resistor. Turns out the plug was bad. $18 for a new plug at Auto Zone and its all better.
Great news!!!
Jeff Schmiemeier did u have any issues with your car shutting off before hand?
Can we tested for juice at the blower motor to make sure it's getting it that's exactly what's wrong with my 06 is a blower motor don't work it's getting close to winter time so I'm going to have to have it
Where did you get that? i have a Pointiac vibe 2008 and when I search that in amazon it says that it doesn't fit my 2008, only 2009 and above.
Damn that’s hard to get to.
Yeah, not too fun, but it is at least doable
I have a 2009 pontiac vibe. We replaced the windshield wiper resivor tank with success (it was leaking) but then right after that car started to die out...getting no power and would stall. Jumped it several times but still died out on its own. Multuple dash indicator lights came on including check engine light. Ended up putting a new battery in. All dash lights went off. Car is running fine but now blower wont come on for heat and AC. Fuse under dash looks good...any ideas we should try before getting new blower and resistor. Blower was working just fine before we pulled and replaced washer resivor tank.
We have done similar repairs other than the reservoir on our 2009 vibe. The mechanic said our issue is the blower
@@MsBrownie231 Found out that my altenator went, had to have it replaced. Everything is good now.
@@judithgreene5235 Oh good !
If your stalling out and dying, your Alternator is bad.
How can you test it to make sure it's actually the blower motor and not that switch your turning I hate to replace a $50 blower motor when it's actually the switch that's messed up
Hit your blower a few times, you'll hear it croaking if it's bad most likely
It will start /stop ect as you bang on it.
That's what I did. 😂
can you post the part number for the blower? thanks
Here is the Car Quest part number - 35080.
car shuts off when I turn furnace on could this be an issue heats only been running on high for awhile and today it came on and car shut off
any help is much appreciated thanks in advance
I just got my new piece today, and I'm stuck trying to get the computer out from under the motor. It's like a bracket holding it in place and I can't find where to unscrew it
Hey Peyton, did you figure it out? Lots of times, I put my head fully under the dash so I can see everything. The bolts are there, they can just be a pain.
Chad Williams I figured it out and got it replaced. My new blower motor was faulty so I'm waiting on a replacement. It's a little stuck so it can only run on high settings and makes a rattling sound, but at least I have air until that replacement comes in 😄
That is a bummer it was faulty!!!! :( luckily, you will get a new one and that you have air for now :) glad you got it in and I could help! :)
I'm having an issue where my fan only blows on high. How did this end up being resolved for you?
Your blower motor resister is bad. You need a new one. About $45 at Autozone. Hope this helps! Just follow the link. m.autozone.com/cooling-heating-and-climate-control/blower-motor-resistor/duralast-blower-motor-resistor/593783_0_0?aqs=
it's funny I found out you can just not put the arm back and the glove box still works perfect ... so much faster if you want to work on shit in there...
same on my matrix lol
@@lovethemack update: my pontiac vibe was totalled. Got T-boned by a delivery truck. I wonder if my toyota corolla 2013 has the same glove box logic, but I'm gonna find out soon since I'll have to replace the cabin air filter.
No power screwdrivers
