Be advised the blower motor has a locking tab. Find it closest to the fire wall...engine direction. Pull it down toward the floor board... THEN the blower motor will turn loose. Lock is toward the radio. And unlock is toward the passenger door. Both if you were sitting in the passenger seat looking at the blower with the glove box off. Im guessing your tab maybe broken or bent of yours turns without addressing the locking tab. Mine was still locked.
Thank you for this video, it worked for me.
Re installing the heater blower was a bit tricky, but came back to it after 20 minutes and got it right, it didn't wanna screw back in, and that unit is huge with all the wiring in between.
I saved R3500/250$ all the way from Gauteng, Johannesburg, South Africa.
Mate you can come from underneath via the footwell panel below glove compartment - two screws thats all. Cheers from England.
Good shout mines just went out today, bummer as it's bloody cold in the mornings up here in scotland now. I know what I'm doing this weekend ✌
@@strudawg9331 am I the only one havi g trouble?! I can't take this off
Steven Nathaniel what were you having trouble with
Mines just gave out on my E92 also. AutoGlass replaced my windscreen and the seal that’s seen in this video wasn’t replaced very good so I’m guessing that’s the cause
Just did this and got mine working again! Saved me a good few hundred schmekels from taking it to the garage, cheers dude 🤘😎
Thank you! Got my AC fixed my self with your video
Yo I appreciate this video. My ac went out about 2 months ago and it has been hell on earth in Maryland with this heat. Didn't have the extra expense to take it to the bmw shop so I tried this method after watching this video. Thank you for saving me a trip!
Really helpful tutorial dude, took about half an hour to remove and replace the unit. Probably saved me a fortune😎
I recently experienced the same issue where my blower motor stopped working. I am so grateful I came across your video as I was about to buy a new one. I simply removed my cowl filter, saw that the top had been exposed to water so I sprayed a bit of WD40, rotated the motor and it was back to normal. Thank you for posting this video!
I did the exact same thing with my car today and fixed it. If it wasn't for this video, I don't know what I would've done or how much money I would've spent fixing it
@@FaiqS you took off the cover from where the wipers are, spray WD40 and it worked?! Mine stopped and I'm dying as I use my car all day for work. Please help! SOS lol
@@cr0wnnoize808 actually, I removed the dash and the bottom cover as instructed in the video, dismounted the motor and then sprayed the WD40 and gave it a good spin. After the spray, the rotated with more ease than earlier. Followed the same reverse instructions to mount the motor back in, and voila! The AC started functioning
Bro, I did everything except taking the blower motor out. I remember getting a car wash a few days before the issue occurred. Tapped the motor a few times and that solved the issue. 🤷🏻♂️ Thanks bro, wonderful step by step instructions
Thanks a lot man! I followed the exact same instructions today and was able to get this fixed without having to spend any money at all. As this was my first time doing something like this, it took me a while, but I was able to fix the AC. Cheers from India!
Thank you so much I followed your video and my blower is working again.....great video from Cape town
Just fixed mine it was so easy for the 1 series I took off the foot panel only and I had enough space to take it out. Great video bro thank you!
Thank you so much your video saved me £800 Halford in Northampton England St James stated that the fix will cost the amount mentioned without first diagnosing the issue, I’m so grateful...
Thanks for the video! What a lifesaver! SE Texas without AC in Summer is killer. Appreciate it.
Nice to see where the airflow heater is in the car. Good video 👏👏
This helped sort mine out in England. Got it out using another video, But actually taking out the glove box makes it so much easier to put it back in.
You have just saved my life and deserve a like and subscribe!!!
Really useful. Thanks a lot. I have been facing thr sane issue in my BMW 320. Now I can do it. Thanks a lot
We’re you able to tap say the front window defroster when this was happening and it would work until you switched back to the front vents?
I have the exact same problem. I have changed blower motors before on the E90, on both my cars it has gone bad. As you mentioned, the seal below the windshield is not in the best shape. What is the proper name of it and is it hard to replace?
Before I try this, has this fixed it for someone who had the same issue but smoke came out the vents?
Hey mine is making alot of noise really loud and work sometimes and sometimes dont. Do you think its the same issue or is it broken and need a new one. Do you have experience with one that is loud moise from .thank you
Is it the same process for right hand drive models?
You can remove the blower motor without removing the glovebox and cup holders just remove the foot shield and it’s easily accessible.
That what i thought
you can always not remove it at all and take the fresh air filters off under the hood right below the cowl and reach through the vent and pull the leaves out spray it with silicone spray because it's safe for all electrical parts and you can turn it from there also to break it loose.
I'm not trying to take anything away from this person or the video. I thought it was great. very well done and professional not to mention that it's how you're supposed to do it
by the way I have owned 2 of these cars and I couldn't get this out until I watched your video. I'm embarrassed to admit that I was a technician that did electrical diagnostics hey I'm human.
Is it the same process for a 328xi? Thank you!!
Amazing video, step by step very helpful
Mad props totally helped us out!
Thanks man save my a lot of money very good video 🤘
Fantastic Edification!!!!!!! Thank You!!!!!!!
I have weak airflow from front vents any tips blower is working fine
Does it have the same fan blower location on a 2011 bmw 528 I sedan ?
Great Video and thanks for sharing your experience with the public .My question is can you test the Blower before you reassemble the glove compartment?
Great piece of advise........thanks a mil...works like a charm!
Nice job fixing the blower rather than replacing it.
Thank you, you are the best
You helped me very much
Very nice video bro thankfully grazie ciao bello da italia
Great video man 🤙🏽 saved me a lot of money with this
You got any for fixing the stereo .? It just stoped working doesn’t turn on or anything
2023 my man. Respect ! Did it .
This worked!!! Thank you so much!!!!
I have that same problem with my 206 330xi it that how I fix it?
What does it mean if the heater doesn't turn on at all, its dead?
Thanks a lot pal. Real help !
Thanks, this video helped me out!
2016 BMW 2 series, my vehicle make the noise of the blower working but not air coming through the vents I need help, any suggestions thanks.
You forgot to mention the tab in the back of the blower to take it off. I tried to turn it for 20 min until I figured it out but in the end it worked and my a/c works. Saved $100’s of dollars thanks.
What tab??? I’ve been trying for like hours to take mine off
Same here. I thought I'd have to go the shop but then after I figured it out, it was a huge relief
@@chilseaquesada9674 were you able to figure it out? I actually had to lean all the way in and look at the motor from underneath to figure out where the tab was. I'd recommend you to do the same thing if you aren't able to feel it using just your fingers
I agree with you, I’ve been like 40 min.
The exact same problem of mine thank you very much 🎉
You saved mi life thanks !
Worked for me. Thanks.
I have 318i e46. I did what you did, but I can't see this blower. how?
I have the same car just tried this, i put some wd-40 on it and still wont blow air any suggestions?!
Thanks ! Similar problem- Done !!
Pingan Ye
I tried to replace a new blower motor resistor regulator for my E90. When I reinstall the glovebox back, I connected three cables onto the back of the glovebox. But there is an extra short cable I don't know where to connect. This short cable could be important for the regulator to work. Now, when it is hanging around, the new regulator can make kick turning when I start the car, but does not turn any more. Can anyone tell me how to connect the short cable and how to make the regulator work properly?
I have 328i, my driver seat doesn't work?. I lost the fuce diagram. What can I do to fixe it?
Thanks for your help
Perfect, thanks bro.
Thank you, this works
Ok, i had same exact issue. Tried to remove and ceck fuses, when i cecked them , at a certain point i Heard a click motor movment while reinserting the fuse. After that, It started working again , all without renoving motor, might be lucky giving It a try
Thank you so much
You are the best 👨
Nice I need to do exactly the same thing thanks man
Awesome! Thanks
So if the ac turns on, but the fans aren't spinning. It's the blower motor. Sweet. I was having this same issue with my bmw 328i. Thanks.
Good video ,five starts
I have a different problem. The hot and cold air come out but every now and then from above every now and then from below or just hot air. Fans work but the air comes out randomly. perhaps the actuators....
So not a fuse issue always a bad motor?
Thankyou👍👍👍
Just tried it out pulled the blower motor out cleaned it. Pop it back- in alakazam my heater works again
Thanks bro.
Doing this same exact thing .. blower motor will not come out . I’m twisting it with all my might lol any tips ?
Yve Don there is a clip at the back you need the pull it down
thank sir
Cheers for the advice mate sorted my 320 today mate. Cost fuck all result cheers again 👌
so my bmw doesn’t blow enough cold air or any air really, we replaced the stuff and there’s ac coolant in there but they said it’s in the wiring? i don’t know how to really explain it. do i need to get it professionally done or can i do it myself. could it be the fuses?
There are a few manufacture recalls out for certain E9X cars concerning the blower wiring harness & others, give your local dealership a call and see if they’ll fix it up for you. My wiring was just fixed for free a few days ago
Nick Hecking awesome thank you
No need to remove the cup holder for this job, not even a need to remove the glove box. It is tight but it works. And why disconnecting the battery when there are 2 connectors at the blower assembly and ignition is off? Thank you for trying.
I checked the blow motor and it was spinning fine. But still nothing when I turn on the cold or hot air…..I can hear some type of gas hissing noise releasing when I turn ac on at first at start up but it stops shortly and then nothing…..any ideas?
Exact same problem, did you ever fix the issue?
Hearing that ac turn on is so relieving i am going to try this
Did it 20 min ago it worked thank you
@@Mewfred11 nice, i should try it
I'm having difficulty installing it back...do you have a video demonstrating how to do so?...thank you.
It can only go in one way
The long clip on the side of the motor has to point towards the front of the car and it twists in
Genesis Mendez dude I’ve been trying to put it back for the past hour
Play the video in reverse but slow it down some.. Thank me later! 💯
Why is my blower motor hard to come out, looks really how you pulled it out, any tips?
Lift up the tab on the lip of the casing about 3mm and twist unit counter clockwise will come free.
Thx man I eventually got it out, I couldn’t find the back clip kinda hidden
Dude! He took it off so easy! Mine is stuck!
Do you fix it? My stock too men
I read in the comments that there’s actually a locking mechanism before turning to remove it
I have no heat it’s been cold 🥶
Gonna see if this is my issue my window seal leaks into car under glovebox after a wash so I’m sure this is it
It worked
My AC is weird, it works and blows cold in the mornings sometimes but not when it’s hot outside, it just blows hot air out of the drivers side windscreen vent but nothing at all out of the front vents, sometimes the back passenger vents blow cold sometimes they’re hot. I went to check the pressure and potentially fill up the refrigerant and when the guy connected the pressure gauge, it blew cold out of all of my front vents but still got out of the windscreen vent, then after a minute all the cold air stopped and front vents stopped working again and the hot air out of the windscreen vents continued. The pressure was fine and refrigerant didn’t need topping up at all. I took it to a BMW specialist and they had no idea what it was, but are going to work on it this week. So 🤞🏻 they sort it.. anyone have any idea?
Did you get it fixed? What was the problem?
I can not get the blower Motor off! I’ve tried to turn and turn and nothing! Please someone help me!!!!
There’s a tab that locks it in place
My car is off but it’s blowing air??? Help?
Bro that sounds like some voodoo shit right there
Broooooooo! I took off all this crap. All I had to do was spray WD40! Hahaha thank goodness.
Disconnect battery safety First.......doesn't disconnect battery 😅
Good video though
Thought I was the only one who realized his glove box light bulb was still on after he said disconnect the battery lol.
My car did the same shit today. Now i can try this out before doing any replacements. The blower motor is under the recall for E9X models
not the blower motor, just the harness.
Yeah i realized that when i called the dealership.
S4s.. I have the same car, same issue
Same here :(
There is a faster way, just remove the filter on the top of the engine. And you can see the blower.
And here is for You BMW lovers www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/select
At the very end, your vent was closed...where you placed your hand
So I used this video as a blueprint in removing the part. Thanks for that . But guys please be careful I noticed a that when I moved the regulator wire harness the blower would start up and cut out and not have regulated speed at all. It also started to smoke . I then done some research and it turns out like heaps of different models from 2005 - 2011 had been recalled as the wire harness was malfunctioning! This causes the blower to not regulate and can over heat melt the plastic and also set your car on fire. Call BMW as they will have to replace parts for free.
If this works i will subscribe
Mine still doesn’t work
Replace the blower resistor, it's a wear item that stops working around 160k km. Oiling the shaft is only a temporary fix of a friction nature that the resistor can't overcome when the shaft is dry. Very easy, just unscrew two screws while the blower is in place and replace. 15 minutes if your good.
Anybody else’s fan not want to come out? Am I missing a step or just weak?
Yoo did you figure it out? I need your help if you did
@@williamhernandez8921 my first bit of advice is sell the car. But yes I did. I was just being a bitch. You’ll probably have to contort yourself in an uncomfortable position but get a good grip and just twist.
Why you take all that shit out to get to the blower motor? LOL
is there a easier way or you just talking out your ass
Disconnect the battery BUT HE DID NOT HIMSELF !!
WD-40 worked so well that car was about to fly away.
You need to clean your car mate.
My ac works but not my heater :(
A lot of unnecessary work and missing information regarding a very complex partially software controlled system. Some people will experience squeaking, some will see that their system only works at slowest speed. Some will experience high speed only on defrost. Some will change the regulator and the fan motor with no help to their issues. Like a computer, there seems to be a specific and secret procedure to re-initialize the system. Until you try all of the settings, go through a drive cycle and then operate your HVAC on full defrost, you may not get anywhere with your repairs and expense. Some people spend over $1000 at the dealer when all that was wrong was a temporarily discharged battery that put HVAC in "conserve battery" mode. The blower comes out the bottom without removing the cup holders or glove box. There is a plastic tab to pull down or it wont turn.
how do we do this
