Eric thank you so much for posting this video. I had the same problem and also cleaned contacts in side switch and that fixed my problem also. You did a great job show your video. Thanks again.
if it was me the second that changing the blower motor did nothing i would have suspected the switch itself most likely would have just bought a new switch or found a good junkyard switch i find that if you own a car long enough you start to know its problems
I really enjoy his videos.
I have a 1996 Toyota T100 pickup truck, and the blower motor does not work at any speed. Research said to first check fuses (at the motor and possibly inside by the drivers left leg); however, there is no listing for which fuse is for the blower motor at either location. A person at Advance Auto could not tell me the exact fuse but thinks it would be the AC or Heater fuse. Next step is to test the resistor. Next step is power to the motor and then pull the motor and test it at the battery.
who disliked this video? WHO? people who hate freedom i guess
I’ll explain better..when I hit the off button the air is still blowin when it should be turned off? It’s lk the off button doesn’t work
Hey I have a 2001’lincoln towncar.. The ac works but when I hit the off button it only turns the compressor off. The air keeps blowin just it’s hott..so no matter wat the air is constantly on. Does anybody kno wat this could be?
Your right, who paying for that blower motor he replaced? not him
Cool, got there in the end, well done
you could check the voltage with the power prob to check the resister
I remember having to figure this out on my mum’s Renault Laguna. First thing I did was get the blower controls out and they’d burnt up nicely.
First step in diagnosing a blower-motor problem is *always* run +12V and Ground directly from the battery to the motor’s terminals. That would’ve immediately led you to the switch. At least that old motor was easy to remove and replace. 🙂
Ha!! I swear to you, about 5 seconds before you said “this reminds me of working on my Galaxie,” I said to myself, “hey, that dashboard really hasn’t changed all that much from when my ’68 Galaxie was built.” 🙂
Love these cars, the Panther platform is one of the best Ford has ever made. That, and the E-Series.
yeah, the fuck is his problem anyway?
Just keep throwing parts that’s what I do who cares the customer doesn’t know any better their ignorance is your gain
Thanks for all ur vids.I watch them from Australia so the models aren’t real familiar but that doesn’t alter how interesting they are.
Are you saying that the motor went bad and somehow offered less resistance causing a higher current to pass through the circuit and thus the switch thereby overheating the switch contacts and then melting the plastic which then created a point of high resistance in the circuit? I’m not much good at electrics.
did u return the blower motor?
it was the switch.
Ford = fix or repair daily
you cant accept that you made a mistake because the only problem was not the fucking switch or the motor it was the blower motor resistor so you wasted time and money on the motor and you learned a lesson for next time first thing to do is to change the blower motor resistor
its the freaking blower motor resistor ELECTRIC MOTORS NEVER FAIL
Hi, To every one out there, hoping all is well with you! wherever you @ this time.
I lock my keys in the car, 1 Suzuki Jimny jeep! thus anybody know how to use the close hanger to open the door?
At the end of the day he got it working properly. Maybe the guy who works on that model and nothing else wouldn’t have taken till the end of the day to fix it, Sure, ETCG channel wide in general we see stuff happen that anybody can call out in hindsight. He doesn’t cover it up but instead shows you how to move on from an error once it happens and how to avoid making the same mistake ourselves. That’s what it’s all about. If he just showed us the cleansed version it would be less helpful.
how dare you
Personally, I probably would have checked the switch first along with the resister assembly just to see what was up, but hey, I still like this video. There’s a lot of good information here, especially for those who haven’t worked with blower motors. Keep up the good work!
It’ll save you a lot of money if you fix them yourself.
I knew nothing about cars until i started watching your videos. I’m 16 and this is one thing i was considering doing. Cars are just so interesting to me! 😀
I love this guy because its like getting on the job training for free! Awesome videos
awesome video Eric ….. I am in school for automotive and I find it much easier to learn when mistakes are made then when not…… the mistake you made here is a very easy one to make…. anyone who thinks its not has never worked on ….. well anything
^LOOK it’s Scotty Kilmer in disguise
wth do you know fag
Props to you for talkin the high road Eric, I know its hard and you just want to TELL THEM TO #@$%@#% OFF, but you kept your cool.
Like you said, it says more about their character talking like that than yours.
ps, it says their a a d!ck. U rock ETCG. SD.
People make mistakes dumb ass.
whaaahooo who thought a blower motor could move so much hot air!
You are not correct. Flow does not generate heat, resistance does. Everything gives resistance (everything!). The reason why a short to ground causes heat is because with very little resistance (no load present to control the flow) electrons are moving so fast, but still release heat because of the resistance in the wires themselves. Like i said to you earlier, heavy resistance alot of electrons are released to generate heat (melts connectors), with high current a little is lost very fast!
Hi. I have a Nissan Pulsar srv, and I changed the blower motor resistor. And, now it is working, but, the speed number 2 is stronger the speed number 3. I installed a blower motor resistor from a Nissan Cefiro. Should i have taken the blower motor resister the same model of car I have or can i take from other model. Thank you
slam dunking trolls
Your repair videos beat anything on broadcast or cable television, that’s for sure!
The old lady that owns this car, is it your mother?
Isn’t it just the luck that it would be the internals of the switch? I agree that the motor “could” have been back feeding into the switch. But without proper testing, it is an unknown variable. Good job diagnosing and repairing the issue. At the end of the day, as long as the problem gets solved, that’s what matters. I enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Eric, yours videos make my day!
Eric I love your work buddy, you always cover everything. WHAT A JOB THIS ONE WAS 🙂 good work as always buddy
