2011 Kia Optima Blower Motor Resistor |REPLACEMENT

[@mikegarrett1945]

Thanks for posting this. I suspected the resistor/relay was the problem because it this was happening for a couple of years. It wouldn't work for about 30 seconds to a couple of minutes. It would then be good with no issues. Your video showed me exactly where to find it under the glove compartment. Rock Auto is a perfect parts source for DIY'ers not wanting to buy "new" parts for an older vehicle. Thanks again!!

Thank you! Best video on this. I’ve already tried about ten. Now I can be done looking after yours!

[@rachelcoffee8400]

Thanks so much, i have the part but didn't have the money to pay someone to put it in for me, Girl power❤

[@JTtheCoach]

Nice detailed vid that will save me tons of time with troubleshooting etc.

[@poseidon9697]

Thank you for sharing, super helpful! Was trickier but more or less the same procedure on a 2013 optima with the same issue. Perfect video if not for the rambling ;-)

[@judholmes5097]

Thanks Darcie. Very helfpul. Got mine back up and running in less than an hour.

[@freight-specialist6929]

Thank you so much for this video. The fix on an Optima 2010 LX is basically the same procedure.

[@robertfromadventuresofrobe335]

How do you do it on a Sedona? My mom's 2011 Sedona has that problem.

[@SensieRodriguez]

This was the answer I needed!! Thanks so much

My blower went out today, (2014 Optima) and I went to 3 auto parts places and had to order it (relay). Supposed to be delivered tomorrow for pick up. Hope it works, but will let you know. Thanks for the tips.

Awesome video!

[@alexandreboisvert5990]

Thank you Darcie! Exact same job to do now and now I know how-to!

What if no air blows at all? I can hear the fan motor turn on but no heat no ac nothing on all settings. Bad heat wave and no air! Any ideas?

[@ATZAEL187]

Ian Rice I have the same problem

[@UlyssesCoto]

I had a faulty compressor and I replaced several units (radiator, condenser, compressor and control unit, but I should have tried this first. It's usually best to try the cheapest solution. If this resistor solved it, please let me.

[@UlyssesCoto]

I'm having the same problem. It's like my vents slowly become choked off and nothing comes out (hot or cold). And when I open the hood, me low ac line has high frost on the exposed metal.

[@vihernandez979]

Did y’all ever find a solution to this? I replaced the blower and resistor. Worked for a couple days then stopped.

Blower motor and resistor

[@jamalmakki3700]

Me too ... Excited

[@parketicus]

Any idea what it means if you get no air blowing on all 4 settings? Probably the actual blower motor went..right?

[@judholmes5097]

Mine wasn't blowing at all. Once I unplugged the resistor, the highest speed came on but the lower speeds were still dead. Then I did the procedure in the video and replaced withe new resistor and the other speeds came back on. So try just unplugging it first before replacing it. If the highest speed comes on, then you just need to replace the resistor to get the other 3 speeds. If you don't care about the lower speeds, i suppose you could just drive it around with either no air, or high speed air.

[@moseanj4991]

I have a 2013 Kia Optima and the vents aren’t switching from defroster to side vents. Any idea what the problem could be?

[@erikramos2740]

hello, could you please tell me if when you had the issue the A/C button still worked on level 4? I go the same problem, just works in level 4, the A/C is on but is not cooling either. appreciate.

[@danielpadlo2401]

Awesome Thank you

[@Larreka86]

Hi I'm recently jus having the same problem I hope its the resistor see a small amount of air is coming out from my top vents but I'm more so feeling it only on my feet .....do you think I have a bigger problem and the button I have it on is for the face but why would I be feeling it on the feet when it's on the face

[@markpetersen5059]

Good job thxs

[@hotrodhotrod-wc3bu]

screwed in place i like this girl

[@hotrodhotrod-wc3bu]

hahaha very tight space up there lmao

[@davidhook487]

It's called a stubby screwdriver not a chubby screwdriver! :-)

[@BlackhatAudio]

it's a stubby screwdriver. A chubby is something completely different.
