    Appreciate your channel, I am a subscriber. Just performed this repair based on your video. 2013 Tacoma , blower now works like new. Resistor was rusted. Parts $134.00 Canadian, no labour charges!

      @James Carroll I know he is busy. I call it "constructive criticism" and not a "complaint" on how to make a good video better. Did you notice that I said "Good video" at the beginning or did your "selective reading" skip right by that? Perhaps he can incorporate the wire splicing component in another similar video. I don't need you to respond for him. I value his opinion more on whether this is a "complaint" or an idea to be incorporated into a future video.

    This video and your other 2 covering this "fix" are invaluable to those who chose to do this themselves and not pay the horrendous $600/$800 labor charge + parts cost at the local Toyota rape and pillage dealers in 2024.
    You got me adding a few new tools and some valuable skills in doing this myself.

    I'll be checking the next time I change the cabin filter in my 08 Tundra that has a lot more fan positions out of curiosity. Either a lot of wires/resistors, a stepper motor and controller or a chopper regulator to vary speed.

    • @Esteban_Herrera
      @Esteban_Herrera ปีที่แล้ว

      I would have checked the cabin air filter too. That was a nasty looking car. I wouldn't be surprised if the cabin air filter was clogged causing the heater motor to work harder raising the running amps of the heater motor thus causing the resistor to fry.

    Great Job! I try to always stagger my splices not to keep them touching. To bad Toyota didn't offer the contacts separately. It would have been a cleaner look. Even if I could get my old body contorted enough to get under the dash my knees wouldn't allow it.

    Great tutorial video! I did this on my 2017 Tacoma because it was only blowing on high. After I changed the resistor, all speeds worked for a day, then it reverted back to high speed only. Should I try changing the blower motor itself?

    • @FogataMexicana
      @FogataMexicana 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The problem is the motor. It pulls too many amps thereby creating the problem. You have to change blower motor, resistor, and wiring harness as they are all compromised.

    Some imperial size socket will probably fit that 5.5 mm bolt better than a 6 mm one, if you don't have a 5.5 mm socket. And a pliers would work. It is only going into plastic, so it can't be too tight in there.
    AC motors work in a similar way as that DC motor does. If you measure the resistance on the wires coming out of it, you can tell which are the different speeds. I think the least resistance measurement is the highest speed wire. I had to double check the resistance of the wires when I replaced the fan motor in my central heater & air conditioning unit. The way it was wired, I had to use the lowest 2 speeds, on a 4 speed Chinese motor. Being a 240 volt motor, the highest speed might have sounded like a rocket engine running in my hall. Even using the lowest 2 speeds, it is still a bit loud, but it beats sweating in 93 degrees and 65% humidity. During the summer that high humidity keeps the temperature from falling much until midnight. The water molecules in the air trap the heat, and reflect the heat coming from your skin right back at you, instead of letting it radiate away. Without some air circulation is like having your own little radiant heater pointed at your face. 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit is hot.
    I'm guessing that the 2 thick wires are the 2 highest fan speeds, and the other 2 are low, & low/medium speed?
    South Main Auto channel had an interesting wiring case. Someone installed an after market radio years ago. There was a tiny spot near the end of one wire where the insulation had been cut with a stripper to make it easier to install, bit the plastic insulation was not pulled off the end of the wire. So there was only a fraction of a mm of copper wire exposed at the cut in the insulation. Years later, the tiny piece of exposed wire finally found a piece of steel under the dash and shorted out on it. It was a nightmare to locate the problem. Murphy's Law strikes again.

    Very usefull video. I had situation on 2004 2'nd gen when blower wasn't running for a while on all speeds. It happened only when temperature outside was below freezing and always at cold motor start. After few miles suddenly everything was running again. Maybe someone have any idea why?

    • @Esteban_Herrera
      @Esteban_Herrera ปีที่แล้ว

      Possible one of the windings has an open circuit. Connect an Ohm meter to the blower motors contacts. It should show resistance. With the Ohm meter connected, slowly turn the blower fan observing the impedance on the Ohm meter. The resistance will fluctuate as the blower wheel is turned. Notice how far you turn the blower wheel to observe this fluctuation. If there is an open winding you will notice a dead spot, a place where you have to turn the blower wheel further to get a fluctuation. If you find a dead spot the blower motor is shot. You may replace it with a cheapo Depot one but may end up with a whiney motor that will be hard to talk over.

    • @Esteban_Herrera
      @Esteban_Herrera ปีที่แล้ว

      @@paweskarpetowski8124 Testing requires no temperature drop. This happens to all electrical motors that has brushes. The motor by chance lands on the open winding. In some cases just bumping it around will get it off the dead winding. Once it is spinning the centrifugal force will keep it passing the dead winding. You can give it a little tap when it is dead to see if this gets it going. Might want to make sure the blower motor power connector is plugged in correctly. I might have over thought this. Maybe your system is working fine. Maybe it is a feature that won't let the blower motor come on till the engine temp is warm enough to blow hot air instead of freezing you out with cold air till the engine heats.
