5 years since you posted this and it helped me out today! My blower motor died and I ordered a new one off Amazon for 38 dollars and used my husband's tools to do this all myself. I could have waited for my husband to do it but I wanted to take something off his plate for him. He was incredibly surprised when he got home and I told him I replaced the motor while he was at work.
OMG, thank you soooo much for this video. I was able to replace the blower motor in my van today because of your excellent instructions. As a semi-crippled 40 something soccer mom, the fact that I was able to do this IN A DRESS in about 3 hours (with an ice cream break) is simply mind-blowing. Saved me $400 vs the shop quote!
You get a gold star. I am a senior senior in a wheelchair - your superior posting gave me the courage to do this. Detailed instructions without being tedious.
This a one of the best ever how to videos for replacing an AC/Heater air blower. Your instructions were so thorough, hope is helps me as I attempt to replace my own air blower in my 2003 dodge caravan. Dealership says it will cost me over $300 to replace. I try to fix everything myself first and Saturday this is my plan. Thanks for posting, what a good job! Wish me luck I'm a woman who is constantly trying to save money, for real!
One of the best repair videos I have ever seen. Period. You need to do more of these, because you are very clear, professional, and pay attention to quality. Well done!
One note: You do not need to worry about the orientation of the recirculating door (air diverter) relative to the actuator. The actuator drives the door until it experiences resistance to motion then stops. There are no internal stops in the actuator.
I do a lot of mechanical repairs and use youtube videos often. this one was the most accurate and descriptive I have found. That hard screw was a real pain. Thanks for the video.
Really thank you Jay. Indeed that fourth deep hex-head screw you describe was a pain in the neck to remove be able to take out the housing. So I left that screw out on purpose when putting all back together after replacing the blower motor. It took me an hour to take all out and just half an our to reinstall thanks to your very clear guidance. And I am a lawyer, 59 years old, not any kind of technically trained guy. The key to diagnose the demise of the original AC motor on the 18th year of ownership of this van that purchased new in 2003, was that the HVAC's wind ceased intermittently, a few times it came back alive, but then died for good. Just in the middle of this very warm summer in Santiago, Chile.
This was the 3rd tutorial on replacing the blower motor I tried, and it is by far the best! The lighting is excellent, showing all the screws, etc., the camera placing is, again, excellent, making it easy to see where you are with the tools in relation to the motor, the van, etc., and finally, the voice-over explaining everything was excellent. Thank you very much for taking the time and doing such a great job. I feel empowered now to go forth and do it on my caravan. Thank you ... well done!
Thank you, this helped a lot. Just replaced my blower motor in about 2 hours. Same year and model. However I did not take out the trim or insulation. What I did was take out all the other screws of the cover except for that back one. Then I carefully twisted the cover back and forth until the back bracket broke. Did not take much effort. Had a hard time fitting the new motor back in but all works great now. Thank you.
Thank you for this video! I was able to do this today for about $130 (including tools) compared to the shop estimate of > $900! Now my daughter can drive with the defroster on in the winter. Definitely a safety issue!
Three years later, your video is still helping folks! Thank you Jay. This video saved me hundreds of dollars on car insur....um mechanic fees. The new blower motor and tools I bought to replace the old one, was still cheaper than going to a mechanic. My insanity is a little jacked up from one stupid screw, but my car is ice cold now. 5 stars.
I just did this job on my T&C and your video was one of the most helpful . Thanks for posting. The one place I deviated from your procedure was to take the route suggested by some of the other similar videos and commenters in this thread, and that was to just break off the housing around that gawdawful hidden rear screw. Once you remove the four easy screws from the housing, push the wire harness grommet out of the housing and the diverter door pivot out of hole in the bottom of the housing, it's easy to just bend the housing down and snap it off around that back screw. That alleviates having to dig that carpet insulation out from behind the housing, and in the end snapping it off makes no difference in the way it goes back together or functions. Four screws are plenty to hold the housing on.
Thanks for the video. Some models only have 4 bracket screws so don't go crazy finding the 5th one. I fumbled for about 30 minutes on that hidden/difficult screw. Finally just worked the housing back and forth to snap the connector. I have had no issue with just the front bolts on the on holding it. So if you can't get that back one it may just be easier to snap it.
Thanks! Took me about 2 hours because that back screw was pissssing me off!haha Had to keep taking small pissed off neck pain breaks. Flexible extension is a must.
🎉🎉🎉 Thank you so much for making this. I was able to replace my fan motor in about 2.5 hours thanks to you. Most of that time is spent on removing the insulation. You have do it, or it blocks you from getting the hard one he mentioned. The hard one requires patience and some yoga with the right tools. Thank you again. This video is exactly what I needed. Everything was very easy except for the insulation and that hidden screw.
I finally got around to installing a heater motor in my 2003 Dodge Caravan and your video was spot on. Biggest trouble I had was two of the three screws that hold the motor up broke off in the PLASTIC housing when removing them. The only thing I could was drill and install a new metal screw sideways and a new hole in the motor mount ring and plastic tie it in place over the top of the sheet metal screw. I had to leave the other one as it was in front of the motor. I could not drill along side the old broken ones as there is nothing for the screws to go into. I hate these newer fool infected vehicles as they are extremely hard to repair and will bite you trying to save money. Glad I didn't hire this done as a dealer and most others would have wanted to replace the whole plenum. The motor maybe drops down but this repair was crowded and a lot of it is one handed so starting screws and holding stuff up was an ordeal but is done and will not be buying any more Caravans and will be using my collector cars more. They don't strand me broken down and FAR easier to fix. Thanks for your great help.
Jay, great audio, clear concise instructions, also pretty good video and lighting - which is difficult when working and videoing solo. Overall this is a well made presentation. Thank you for the effort and time you took to produce this video.
I just did this, thanks for the video! Personally I made the job easier for myself by removing the passenger seat. I'm a big guy and do not do well in cramped spaces. I found the shaft in the blend door actually 'snaps' into the housing, this is why you had to pop it out using a screwdriver. My blend door did not work until I pulled the shaft down into the housing. I used pliers intended for external snap rings to pull it down into place. The flexible extension was a must to get the rear screw out. I had to run to the store and get one. I also left the rear screw out when I put it all back together.
Thank you very much for this video. I made a few adjustments that may also help others. (1) Since I did not want to empty and then restock the glove compartment - I put several pieces of wide painter's tape across the open end and then took the entife glove box out without greatly disturbing the contents. (2) Being a rather large fellow (I do play Santa) - I wanted to give myself more room to work. I removed the passenger front seat - from the inside - I didn't remove it from underneath since all I have is shallow ramps to elevate the van, and didn't want to try to crawl under to get the bolts there. There are a total of 5 - 15mm nuts under the frame of the seat. Slide the seat forward to get the back two, slide it back to get the front two, and then if you have a drawer under the seat, remove it to get to the 5th bolt which is under the rail on the inside (toward driver's seat) of the rail. Then just unhook the seat wiring and remove the seat. This allowed me to put a piece of foam on the seat frame and then lay down on my back facing up to get to all the screws around the blower housing and motor. In this way I was able to get both hands in the area and see almost all the screws. (3) That darned screw on the housing by the firewall!! Although this wouldn't work for an auto shop, for a "shade tree mechanic" like me, it worked just fine. I took off all the other screws and then wiggled the housing until the plastic holder on the back screw broke. The screw was then reasonably easy to remove. I thought about gluing the holder back on and replacing the screw, but decided that 4 of five screws were enough to hold the housing tight.
@reeceguiss..... I used a 1/4" ratchet with a deep well socket on that rear screw too, just like you. It is a one handed operation then. Two of the three blower mount screws twisted off just like they were rusted in metal. That was an ordeal to substitute a plastic tie on one and left one out. Blower seems to stay ok. This was an extremely good video.
Thank you very much for the great video. I was able to replace the blower motor quickly and without any problems because of your excellent instructions. In my 2006 Chrysler Town and Country, i did not need to cut the insulation. I pulled it and came out easily. I was also able to access the screw next to the firewall by adding an extension (2.5") to my 8 mm socket driver. Thanks again and we all appreciate your great video!
Spot on video, pretty much “ditto” on all of the other positive comments. I did have trouble getting the new motor back in. Was afraid i was going to break the blend mechanism when flexing it. I was able to borrow the flex extension from someone on Nextdoor. Thanks again. Little victories for a guy like me mean a lot. Time for a victory beer. Cheers.
Thank you for the video!! I replaced the blower motor this weekend. The screw behind the engine is a p**. I couldn't do it without the flexible extension. A very good advice.
Great job for the video. What I used was, A mini ratchet screwdriver set that came with a 8mm socket. It was the perfect size and fit right up there in the back. I found the flexible extension to hard to work with, because I HAVE SHORT STUBBY HANDS. lol. Great video again, spot on. THANK YOU
I just wanted to say Thank You!! Because of your video, I was able to replace the blower motor in my Dodge Grand Caravan myself and save money!! You are appreciated!!!
Just finished. Couldn’t have done it without this video. One note though. I was able to get that back screw out without using a flexible extender. Just got enough insulation out to get to it and used small ratchet and extension.
I did the replacement today, with help from this video. Was a huge success, however getting the plug back in on the housing was incredibly difficult, beware.
I just want to say thank you SO much for taking the time to make this video. I love my Chrysler Voyager, but she's getting old and I've head to spend a lot of money making repairs that I can't do on my own. Thanks to your video, this was one that I was able to do, and save a LOT of money. But honestly I wouldn't have had the courage to rip out that insulation without watching this video. Ha! Can't thank you enough!
I finally have to change the motor... So I returned to your video... I hace to say.. You have made a very calm comprehensive video that will allow me to do this myself. Tho I do wonder how you ma age to fit yourself in place to access the motor. I'm a big guy... OK.. I'm fat lol... And 60... I guess I could un bolt the passenger seat if more room is needed. Thanks for the very helpful video! Symptoms are: fan typically works in all speeds at first then begins making a growling noise and slows to a stop (and has a hot smell) I bought the resistor also. I think I'll just swap both.
Gracias por enseñarlo todo. Yo pude sacarlo, lo limpié y le puse mucho limpia contactos y lo volví a montar y funciona perfectamente. Pero no puse el tornillo del infierno interior.
Thanks so much. My lower power wire from the motor to the resistor (The black one) got so hot it melted the connector. I am assuming my blower motor is creating resistance and making the resistor too hot. Thus melting the wire.
man some jerk really drove that back one in probably with an impact. Thanks for the video , this is becoming a habit with this van. Had it not been free. . .
My front blower fan takes about 5-10 minutes to get started. The rear kicks on right away. After it starts I can adjust the speed setting without issue. Do you all think it’s the blower or the resistor or maybe something different? Thanks.
I have an issue with mine but cant figure out what the issue is. The blower isnt going, but previously was stuck on high. I replaced the resistor multiple times but still had the same issue. Any ideas?
Great tutorial, knowing ahead of time what tools I need was a super big help as I didn't have an 8mm open end wrench so I bought one yesterday. I had everything else including the flexible extension. One minor issue I ran into though is that the outside air/recirculate diverter is not moving after the job but it worked before. I have it on the right side or shaft turned counterclockwise as shown in the video. It moves freely by hand but for some reason I'm not getting any power to the motor that's supposed to move it. I checked for voltage on the plug when turning the vehicle on and off, and when pressing the recirculate button, and I didn't see any sign of power there. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you so much this was so straightforward and it absolutely worked! I live in Alaska and winter is creeping in! PS that back bolt was truly a b**** 😅
Hey guys anyone can help me out ? I have a 01 dodge caravan and I recently replaced the resister but my wires keeping burning and the fan speed isn’t working at all , is it maybe the resister again or is it the heating fan ? My mechanic has already soldered news wires but more our burning now
Just did mine today. Once you clear out the insulation and find that 8mm screw I didn't have the flex ext the auto stores were out so I used my Stanley star tool that folds out and you can put the 8mm socket on the end of it. You can actually see the screw you just have to wedge your self underneath the blower and with a flashlight put the socket on the screw and 1/2 turns untill you can turn it with your fingers. Keep in mind only 1 arm will fit in that cramped position but with patience it will come out but all in all a good video. Just be sure you find the flex ext first. Doing this yourself will save you slot of money. The blower cost 31.99.

how about that crazy screw under the dashboard? di dyou use a flex ratchet ?
Far and away the very best video about changing this fan. Watched many...none as
Good as this for clarity and instruction. Thank you

Not really.I used a nut driver with a 2" extension.
Thanks! I’ve had my blower motor for months but too intimidated to do it myself, your walk through is great and I’ll be trying to change it tomorrow!
I know this video is old, but it was a major time saver. Thank you for the clearly & slow spoken instructions with a perfectly lit video.

That nasty screw way at the back - remove all the screws, leave that one and just break the plastic piece off - a bit of brute did it
@mr88talent hello and where did you buy the flexible extender extension

Amazing!! Mechanic quoted 6hrs for this job. I just did it in 30min.
Thank you!!
Must have been looking at the labor for rear blower motor, I did the rear ac condenser, definitely took like 4+ hours
I don't way this often, but I have to commend you for this well put together video. Was easy to understand and straight forward.
Spot on video, pretty much “ditto” on all of the other positive comments. I did have trouble getting the new motor back in. Was afraid i was going to break the blend mechanism when flexing it.

Thanks for your video. It worked great for my 2016 dodge grand caravan. Took me three hours but I did it and it works.
Great video saved me the frustration factor. That back screw was the most fun and didn't put it back it and isn't really needed..
Excellent! I do not know why your video is not first on the google search? It is the best by far!

Symptoms are: fan typically works in all speeds at first then begins making a growling noise and slows to a stop (and has a hot smell) I bought the resistor also. I think I'll just swap both.
At least now I feel better knowing I'm not having to pull the dash out! Thanks Jay!
Thanks so much for the video. I can not see well and my wife was able to fix this with the help of your video. Thanks again
Thank you for an excellent video. I appreciated the precise information and good camera work. You gave me the confidence to go for it.
Very concise and accurate video made the job (fairly) easy - Thank you!
Awesome Video!!!! You got that camera up in there really... Took it all the guess work
A very well made video. My compliments.
Very informative and perfect step by step instructions! Thank you for this video 😀👍🏻
Thanks Jay! Just made my life much easier -- I appreciate your time and expertise.
I have to second your comment, thanks !!!
Super helpful and easy video to follow. Thanks!
Excellent video my friend, followed your instructions, took me about an hour. Thank you!
Rock auto much cheaper and faster shipping
Thanks mate! Such a detailed explanation. Will try this very soon 😁
Very,very,very good use of your camera and explaining.
Thanks Jay! Saved a lot of time and trouble!
Pro tip. Just rip that God forsaken screw out. No need to cut the insulation and an hour of frustration will be saved.
Any suggestions on how to get the insulation out I got the three screws out in the front but that insulation in the back is not budging
Going to need this video today 10/26/23
I'm such a clutz and this video actually helped me get the damn thing out. Now having trouble getting it back in
Great video just what I needed! Thank you so very much.

Thanks for your video it helped me figure mine out . thanks
Awesome video you made it easy to get done thank you
This video was very helpful followed it step by step, the back screw is no joke hate that lil bastard lol good job
man some jerk really drove that back one in probably with an impact. Thanks for the video , this is becoming a habit with this van. Had it not been free. . .
For the bolt in the back, I simply removed all the other bolts and ripped it out worked nicely
Woooow thanks dude you did a great job with the explanation 👏👏
Thank you so much. You were such a big help
the best video ever for this job
My front blower fan takes about 5-10 minutes to get started. The rear kicks on right away. After it starts I can adjust the speed setting without issue. Do you all think it’s the blower or the resistor or maybe something different? Thanks.
I have an issue with mine but cant figure out what the issue is. The blower isnt going, but previously was stuck on high. I replaced the resistor multiple times but still had the same issue. Any ideas?
Nice description of the job
Excellent video, thanks.
Great tutorial, knowing ahead of time what tools I need was a super big help as I didn't have an 8mm open end wrench so I bought one yesterday. I had everything else including the flexible extension. One minor issue I ran into though is that the outside air/recirculate diverter is not moving after the job but it worked before. I have it on the right side or shaft turned counterclockwise as shown in the video. It moves freely by hand but for some reason I'm not getting any power to the motor that's supposed to move it. I checked for voltage on the plug when turning the vehicle on and off, and when pressing the recirculate button, and I didn't see any sign of power there. Does anyone have any ideas?
Great video very detailed -Thanks
Thanks! This helped me fix mine!!
Is this for the front blower? My front blower went out, but the rear blower works just fine.
Very well done; especially one handed... :-) Many thanks...
Great video, thanks so much.👍🤗
Hey Jay, I did all that, the motor works and everything, the air won't blow out through the vents . What should I do?
Thank you so much this was so straightforward and it absolutely worked! I live in Alaska and winter is creeping in! PS that back bolt was truly a b**** 😅
thank you so much for this video.
Hey guys anyone can help me out ?
I have a 01 dodge caravan and I recently replaced the resister but my wires keeping burning and the fan speed isn’t working at all , is it maybe the resister again or is it the heating fan ? My mechanic has already soldered news wires but more our burning now
Thanks Jay.. subscribed
Does this one have an air cabin filter?
Thank you brother your help safe me time
Just did mine today. Once you clear out the insulation and find that 8mm screw I didn't have the flex ext the auto stores were out so I used my Stanley star tool that folds out and you can put the 8mm socket on the end of it. You can actually see the screw you just have to wedge your self underneath the blower and with a flashlight put the socket on the screw and 1/2 turns untill you can turn it with your fingers. Keep in mind only 1 arm will fit in that cramped position but with patience it will come out but all in all a good video. Just be sure you find the flex ext first. Doing this yourself will save you slot of money. The blower cost 31.99.
Thanks for this video
I will try replace mine
God bless
Excellent you rock!
Can I use the motor out of a 2001 to put into the 2004?
