Great video, very succinct and to the point. Unfortunately, it didn't solve my issue. I checked the fuse under the steering column, checked the relay under the hood, switched the relay with the power window relay, all with the same result - no fan whatsoever. So I pulled the panel off under the passenger side, removed the wire connection to the fan and plugged my volt meter into it. Then I started the car with the blower dial on full. My meter read 14.8v. Then I plugged the wires back in and hit the blower motor with a crescent wrench repeatedly. Still wouldn't come on. So I pulled the wires off again, plugged the volt meter back into the connections at the end of the wire and started turning the fan dial to various positions. It read 14.8 volts no matter what position that dial was in. Even in the off position it reads 14.8v. Not sure what to do now. Maybe a bad resistor but if it's sending full voltage then why isn't the fan motor coming on full??? Update - Wanted to add for anyone else who happens by with the same problem - it turned out to be the resistor. When I wrote the above post I had forgotten how resistors work. It was normal for it to show full voltage. What it limits is amperage, and something had gone wrong inside of it so it wouldn't provide enough amperage for the blower motor to work at all. These resistors are available at Autozone and probably many other auto parts stores. Just search for "blower motor resistor" on their site. Be aware that the Civic sedan and coupe use different ones. They're a little awkward to get to but two screws and one plug and you're done. There's a heat sink on the back of them that could be hot so look out for that when you're removing the old one.
Im trying this tomorrow i had all the same symptoms and the connection to the blower had 14.2v no matter the dial positioning but the blower would only kick on for 5 seconds at most then shut off.
Bro, that was an awesome video man. You explained everything it could be, where all the components are and what they do, and tricks to solve it and you did it so fast. Im pretty impressed actually. Well done...wish you did videos for my car, lol
You just saved us like a $300 job that 2 separate mechanics were trying to charge us! 🤬.... THANK YOU for the info! This fixed everything and i only paid my cousin $20 bucks 😂
Hey thanks for putting up a great video, all the provided information, and strait to the point. This is one of the best car repair/troubleshooting video I’ve seen in a long time.
So I have a 04 civic si hatchback. Started a few weeks ago. When I shut off the car the AC/heat can still be used. The recirculation button light is on. I can turn the fan speed control n it will come on. Normally before everything would shut off before but it will stay on. It’s draining my battery even when I turn everything off. Was told to change the blower motor resistor. Help!!!!
Thanks for the video. 02 Civic... The AC light comes on, no blower fan at all, no compressor engagement. When I tap the blower fan motor with a wrench (as described), the compressor will come on briefly and shut off, no air blows from vents during that brief on/off cycle. Fan motor??
Great video.. the transistor usually goes out before the blower..at least in my case. Jumping the relay points was helpful. I keep a paper clip on my tool box..😊 2003 civic ex 1.7 202k
****help needed please**** Interior Fuse 14 is my power mirror fuse according to my manual. There is no fuse for the heater motor in that section listed.... only ones I can find in the manual are the fuse and relay under the hood. Am I missing something here please? It's an 03 civic
My blower will randomly not work upon start, but when I whack it it comes right on, lol. I'm guessing all I can do is replace the unit, but I already did for the same issue like 4 years ago!
I have relevant question. I have same asian model. When i turn on my car AC sometimes Blower speed Up and down dramatically, that may affect on cooling in hot summers. My dashboard fan speed switch skips and turn off the ac compressor sometime. Then a tap on Dash fan speed button it turns on the compressor and power up the blower. Please rectify my issue. Fan Speed button also missing some speed numbers that's y it turn off the AC sometimes. I also change the Resistor block. May b fan switch cleaning issues or what? Please guide me. Hope u understand my point. Thank You
Would you happen to know why blower motor ground wire isn't working? If I connect a jumper from the blue and black wire to a ground point on the car it works
I check 10 amp.fuse ok.icheck wire to blower motor. It's hot. Blower no turn.if I unplug blower moter and barley start to plug it back in when it barley touches the fan mother turns for just a second an stops won't turn no more .it dose the same thing every time
Hi i have 04 Honda Civic the blower fan not working I changed the power resistor and the blower fan but still not working can you help me please thanks
Such a great video, no extra comentary, just the necessary info, simple but great edits, keep up the great work and helpful vids!

this might be the most well put together automotive diagnosis video on youtube
Excellent video. A tap on the relay switch fixed the problem. You're the best!

Just did the inspection and that's all it took! Wow! Saved bucks!!! Just a couple taps and she started right up!!!
@Nikolai Gerardo Definitely, have been using InstaFlixxer for years myself :)
@Nikolai Gerardo definitely, I've been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :D
@@nikolaigerardo1168 what made you post that on my comment???
@@nikolaigerardo1168 absolutely irrelevent.
Did everything but in the end banging the blower motor made it come back on again! Thanks!
This helps a lot, thank you. The blower motor in my 2015 Honda Civic is running intermittently, but when it runs, it runs at all speeds.
Probably the best video ive seen concerning about the blower motor

Wow was this ever informative thanks for making such a great video!
Thank you. I really appreciate the way you explained everything. It was easy to follow.
i have a 04 civic heater blower sounds like it comes on faintly but stops right after you turn key i replaced motor what else would it be

Hey, great video, can you think of any reason. my abs light and brake light would light up the very moment my heater fan stops? Thanks.

One of the best tutorials ive ever seen. Awesome dude...!

Wow, that's the issue of my car airvent is won't blowing air. Thanks for the information brother
Thanks for the help man! I guess my wires got stuck together. The tap fixed it. Gonna look into a new one to replace it soon.
is this basically the same for a 2001 civic ex???
Great Video, lot of information delivered fast
Thank you so much for this! Just fixed my issue

What a fckn excellent video
Is there a way to force the blower motor to blow harder?
Try taking the relay out tap it when its warm
I taped it when it was in the fuse box but didnt work
Thankyou so much. It help a lot. God bless you
What’s the 1st 20A fuse for on the left?
Awesome video man thank you 🤙🏽
thank you!!
Awesome Video Thanks
If the pliers make the blower motor run does that mean the relay is bad?
Most likely
Great video thanks
Thank you for this video
Very helpful video
Thanks just tap it and it started working
We
Hi i have 04 Honda Civic the blower fan not working I changed the power resistor and the blower fan but still not working can you help me please thanks
@@crosscountytaxitaxi6313 I had to eventually change the blower motor. It started after I tap it but it died maybe 2 weeks later
Thank you for replying but I did change bouth blower fan and resistor still not working
Tap what?
The relay switch? Engine on or off?
The blower motor?
The black square block with 2 screws?
Resistor/transistor.
Thx.
fantastic video thanks👏
Outstanding
"spare fuse" from 2 or 14 ???? 14 is power mirrors isn't it ??
It's
