2014 F150 A/C Blower Motor Fan making Noise (Repair)

How get your blower motor out of your AC box in your 2014 f150... turns out it sucked in some trash

[@alexrogers2304]

Dude, this was super helpful. I watched this twice, grabbed a 8mm wrench from the local hardware store, and 30 mins later I had it apart, cleaned out, and put back together. Thanks bro

[@jaredmartin3697]

Bro this video saved my life. Just bought a 2014 F150 a week ago and then outta nowhere my AC starts making a loud humming/vibration when turning up the fan. Was about to take it to the dealer but stumbled across this and thought I’d give it a shot. Sure as shit! A big old piece of plastic was in the blower fan. Quick 20 min fix and we’re back baby! Thanks for sharing!

[@A_Trade10X]

Man I just fought with those three damn 8mm screws for half the damn day, I’m a big guy, was kinda hard to contort my body to get up in there like I needed but I finally got Er done.. turns out that same piece broke off inside as everyone else has discovered. Works like a charm now, and free of charge👌🏾 Thank you

[@stephenwaldvogel502]

Thank you for putting this video up. It really is a simple process removing the fan, HOWEVER, being a big guy with big hands this took an extra level of patience and time. Not sure how the gum wrapper got sucked in and am especially perplexed by the 3/4 inch piece of rubber (looks like some sort of cap) that was in there as well. Working like a charm now. Thanks again!

[@adamhenderson7951]

Thank you millions for keeping it short and to the point!

[@k13207b]

Exact same problem in my 2014 Ford F-150. Video was great help. Got the front two screws out with a short handle ratchet and a short extension with an 8mm socket. The third screw closest to the firewall was a bear. Tried everything and then ordered an extra-long flex-head ratcheting wrench, but was able to use a short handle 8mm boxed end wrench to work the screw loose. Found a piece of tubing end, probably from assembly that unbalanced the fan. Reassembled and ran quietly. Saved a big repair bill by doing this myself, but it was a real chore.

[@chengwawasabi7173]

You’re my hero! Your video is perfect. Two hours, zero dollars. The local dealership said it would probably be $250.

[@tombragg3962]

I wanted to say thank you for this video. I really appreciate it and your time. I’m here in Canada and I had a short window of opportunity where the winter wasn’t as cold. I was able to find the debris and removed it which took me 15 minutes and the fan was working great. Thanks again.

[@TheWindward]

Thanks Joel. Its these quick videos that give me the tips and modivation to do these things myself.

[@ashleyb5416]

Dealership said they needed to keep it a week to find out what the noise was lol thanks so much for posting this video, I'm glad I checked the internet first!

[@memlarryboy]

I just fixed my 2012 F150 by watching this video. It was super helpful down to the suggestion of using a speed wrench. Tissue had gotten sucked up in to the blower. Thanks!

[@Savedbygrace363]

Thanks to this video I was able to repair my AC fan due to the same exact issue!!!! And I’m a mom of 3 🙌🏽🙌🏽. Thanks for this!!! It saved me $$$$$

[@Daisyshephard]

Thank you!! Was a pain in the butt but found a cellophane wrapper just like you did.

[@dancrb2010]

Have a 2010 that was making the same noise. Very simple fix. Like you said three screws, fold the carpet back to get the blower out, and pull out debris. In all took about 20 min. Thanks for the video!

[@justinthomas4442]

dude! Thanks bro! This video was exactly what I needed. I had some rubber/plastic cap that was from the truck somehow end up in there. Was causing some serious noise/vibration but did exactly what u said, removed those 3 screws, removed the fan and boobam, there it was laying inside the fan. You're awesome brotha, you saved me a chunk of money doing it myself.

[@mics1694]

Thanks partner! I'm from Texas as well. Sure enough a cigarette wrapper from the previous owner, he had wood screws in 2 of the 3 holes. Quick trip to Lowes to get the proper hardware and she is running quiet. Thanks again!

[@subscriberswithoutavideoSubscr]

Thanks a ton. Had a piece of rubber stuck in my blower. That back screw is what took the longest to get out.

[@frankhildreth8546]

My 2011 has been making a roaring noise like that for about 4 months now. Gonna try this fix. I never thought about something being on the fan. Thanks for the video!!

[@theheadred317]

Mine just started this yesterday... leaving for yellowstone from san diego on Monday... gonna try this... thanks for the vid!

[@timlozano644]

Awesome. My truck just started making the same noise. Before I go buy a $75 blower motor, I'm gonna try cleaning it. Thanks!

[@nathannoble9741]

Appreciate the video. I live in Phoenix, Az. It was very helpful. My fan motor had a piece of broken plastic in it.

[@GetOffMyLawn1970]

Same year truck and same exact sound! Thanks for giving me a place to start looking. I'll let you know how it works out. Okay, took forever getting that far back screw off. Very little space to maneuver a tool and your hands. Found a round object that looked like it broke off from something else and landed in the fan. If I could add a picture I would.

[@stewartboothe7769]

Thank You going to work on mine tomorrow. Was thinking I would have to replace blower motor but hopefully now having seen this and read comments it’s just debris.

[@abarraclough08]

Literally had the exact same issue, piece stuck in the fan on my '14 Raptor. Thanks for your help, huge win not having to take it in!!!

[@fidellopez8558]

Same !

[@robgodfrey699]

Thanks for the video. I found what seemed to be a piece of rubber hose or something. No idea where it came from, everything is working properly now. Much appreciated!

[@fidellopez8558]

Thank you so much !! Years later and your video is still helping people 🙏🏾 happened to me this morning in my 2014 Raptor there was a rubber broken piece in there ( round kinda rubber) have no clue what if was for?? Anyways working perfect now , thank you sir

[@quefre3479]

Thanks bro I will definitely check the fan blade out. I have a 2014 f150, had no issues with it until the AC started to make noises as I turn up the AC volume.

[@charlieboutin3341]

Thank you for sharing this! Mine just started an hour ago. I wondered if something got stuck in there (wherever there is) then saw this video, now I know! I live in the Texas heat also, 98 now 🥵. I’ll give it a try after work. Thanks again. 👍👍

[@pyronmasters]

The only video I’ve found with the same problem (2019 Raptor) since its a pain in the @$$ to take out, I’ll get to it on the weekend. Thanks for keeping it short and sweet.

[@kennethpayne6210]

Thank you so much for your videoclip im sure you saved me at least $300 not taking it to the shop. Your video was great showing tools needed, the 8mm ratchet wrench is required as you instructed, i couldn’t find one with swivel head as yours but wrench with out it works as well. Got motor removed and found small piece of plastic, put motor back in and works great now, thanks!!

[@joeydoler3014]

This video saved my ass, I didn't want to take it to the dealership to spend $200 + to get it fixed. It turns out it was a plastic piece that broke off. Very helpful vid

[@jamesfreud1]

Thnx for this video. This just happened to me, and i live in Texas as well.. and its like 110 today. 🔥

[@franckblack1571]

That worked, thank you! Yes, there’s a difficult bolt in the back but by being patient it’s not hard to remove the fan and inspect.

[@kruegerssupply_4213]

Thank you, saved me a trip to the mechanic

[@frankhmeissneriv61]

Thanks Joel, having the same problem. Thanks for the video..Only problem I had was getting the motor out.. all good now...👍👍

[@TreyCoursey]

Same exact sound just started on my 2013. I hope mine is as easy as yours was. Thanks for sharing.

[@timkippel7796]

Thanks for your video! Saved me a trip to the shop and was exactly what was wrong with my blower.

[@desigunter6285]

You're awesome dude! I just had the same thing happen to me today. Now I know exactly what to do.

[@conradsuddarth632]

Desi Gunter , my blower making noise too. So, I am about to check and clean mines, as well.

[@ericsulivant832]

Same problem 2014 F150 - will do these same steps! Appreciate it!

[@lousuarez791]

Hey bud, thanks a lot, my 2015 Expedition started making a loud roar too, in my case it was a straw wrapper from Sonic. I'm not that talented, but I bought metric swivel heads and it took 45 minutes to an hour. Very helpful!

[@nextdriso964]

Thank you so much! This has been driving me crazy. I'm going to go do that to my truck now.

[@steve6438]

Thank you. I am here in TX too and cannot do without that AC. I will work on taking this apart after I get finished swapping out my multifunction turn signal switch which is causing my wipers to run constantly

[@jodiecahoon6515]

I found the exact same piece in my blower. Thank you for the video! Ford should do a recall! Three 8 mm hex head size screws hold in blower motor. Remove back screw first and reassemble with back screw last which is most difficult to access.

[@ohmd999]

Thank you I went through the same problem and took advantage of your experience

[@jasonroth9373]

Thank you for this video. My 2014 Ford F-150 started making the same noise today. I'm going to cleck my blower when I get home today.

[@craigmiruk4987]

This exact same thing happened in my 14 expedition, this video saved the day. Thanks

[@tonyturner441]

I got in my 2010 F150 truck today and when air cond. fan came on.....noise, roar, fluttering.....NOOOOOOO. I looked and listened to this video, (I am 70 years old. ) Then I went out and did exactly as this guy said. 15 minutes later my blower motor was repaired. NO NOISE. Thank you !!!!!!!!!!Ford garage would have been $300.(Oh, it was a piece of candy wrapper)

[@travisneff4860]

Thanks for showing us how to R&R the blower motor. My bearings are shot and thought for sure I was going to have to rip the dash apart or something ugly like that..

[@leonfechter]

Great video exactly what the problem was, that back screw was pretty difficult to get a tool in there

[@andyhugie1647]

Man thank you I have a 13 and it started doing the same thing out of no where thanks

[@michaelmartinez4817]

Mines doing the same exact thing, so glad it's that easy to fix. Thanks

[@pointbuck270]

Thanks!! I figured that was what it was, thanks for showing where the fan is!! I'm gong to fix mine today!!

[@thetexasgreek]

Thanks, Bud. I''ll have to see if that's what it is. Just replaced my motor. The new one worked fine for the first few days and then all-of-a-sudden started doing the same thing at the 3 and 4 speeds. The 1 and 2 speeds are fine with no issues. At least I hope that's what it is. I am a native Houstonian, so I know quite well the 900% humidity thing. Take care.

[@johnsoliz1063]

That's exactly the noise that I hear. Thank you so much.

[@fazzodude]

I’m having the same problem on my 2013. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks for posting.

[@srwilsonUSA]

i just finished taking mine apart after watching this video and the exact same piece of plastic had broken off. Not super easy to get the fan out. But thanks for the video.

[@nie2ent]

Omg! You’re the greatest mines started this morning! Thank you!

[@randyriegel8553]

Thanks, I had mine start doing this. So I'm going to follow your instructions and see what's in there. :)

[@sean2743]

have not had mine apart yet ...but the sound is the exact same..guess i will try this...thanks for the video..

[@shibbyf9974]

Thanks mine is making this exact sound today! I will go ahead and take it apart and see if there’s something in there.

[@melvinramos111]

Thank you so much!! after watch you video I fix the same problem in my f150 God bless you!

[@jonny8547]

You are my hero! Thanks for showing me how to do it myself

[@hikester2010]

Thank you very much. I just today started having that same bassey roar. I figured it was something like that. I have a 2013 ford escape. Going to fix it soon.

[@elliottsoeder]

Just what I needed to see. Same problem. Thanks, dude!

[@JoelMannerino1]

Elliott Soeder no prob brotha

[@joshuasouza5831]

Quick and simple, and exactly the problem. Thanks

[@panzerwaffen2873]

[@charlievaldez531]

same thing happened to me. pretty easy to fix, thanks!

[@northgeorgia7357]

Thanks for the fast video!

[@advsign2]

Just done mine with the tips shown here. 8mm socket, swivel and driver. Found some type of rubber end cap that came from somewhere. Anyway all fixed and smooth now. 2013 F-150

[@pattyofurniture100]

Exact same here. Had a spline on one end, looks like some kind of clocking bracket

[@fidellopez8558]

Wow ! Same exact thing ! Wonder where it came from , weird .

[@bubbadogproductions7403]

I have same year and the noise is exactly the same. I'll fix it today... THANKS

[@luisgavaldon6877]

Good call. Found a straw wrapper in mine. Thanks.

[@aaamd502]

Thanks bro, you saved by budget today $$ 👍

[@aaronmfarland]

Dude good vid. Thanks for this. Somehow I had some weird plastic and rubber piece in there. It looked like it came of of molded plastic and was for shock absorption or something like that. It was roughly the size of a hazelnut….So weird.

[@kevinfuller7737]

Thx, my 2013 just started making that noise today.

[@jstorm001]

My 2010 Expedition EL started doing a loud vibration / humming sound too it’s the same setup as the F-150 its identical I have to check out mine also hopefully it’s just something caught up in it only gives me problems on high .

[@connormitchell1856]

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

[@alexstrand6097]

I had the samething happen when i was driving down the highway and i got a massive knot in my stomach. I slowed down turned the radio and ac off to hear the noise better and it stopped. Knew instantly it had to be the blower. Once i get back home ill be doing the same as you. Glad to see its probably just be a piece of trash

[@johnnytolley673]

Thank you brother That was a great help

[@randyflannigon3452]

Bro I'm with the rest of everybody thanks a lot your video was a big help I was going to let a shop do it but after your video I decided to do it myself and what did I find bubble gum wrapper Wrigley's my 13 year old

[@austinhuff3126]

Fuck I’m glad I watched this. Thought I was gunna have to buy a new blower motor

[@danielcromwell9676]

great job!!!! just fixed the same issue

[@penaloza936]

sweet just what I needed to know thanks bud

[@unklefester1980]

Thank You Sir. Mine had some kind of a rubber boot. Im guessing off windshield wiper nut covering. No doubt that Ford dealership would have nailed me for $1000. They just quoted me $372 to install a new serpentine belt.

[@parkeramos539]

Thank you brother!! Same thing happened to me

[@jasonbuilodeau7321]

Thanks man. Had the same exact problem. 30 minutes, out, wrapper removed, back in.

[@cegallegos99]

Found a piece of black rubber that seemed to fit on top of blower. Now it is sounding as brand new, saved trip to ac repair.

[@rockytorres7]

Thanks for sharing I had the same problem

[@juanitanewman1079]

mine does the same thing thank you for your video

[@96txtoastiii65]

Same shit just happened to me me spot on, thanks for the video much appreciated

[@JediFight]

I do believe I have the same issue. Will verify tomorrow. Thanks.

[@sosodef670]

Thanks! Wanted to check this out before I started taking shit apart to be sure. Identical noise! If it's a cigarette wrapper, I'm gonna poop my pants.

[@brandonorban]

Thanks. Atleast now i know how to rip mine out as its doing the same thing

[@seanpistone9310]

Exactly same problem cigarette wrappers in fan lol thanks! 👍

[@donnysworld6774]

Dude, funny video and very helpful, you da man !!!!

[@stevenvasquez5599]

Yep. Just had to do this for my 13 f150. Found some shit flying around in there. Took about 20 mins to do

[@jaredhorton2976]

Thanks man mine did this just know in the snow!! Lol 11 degrees
