Blower Motor and Blower Resistor Replacement 04 Ford Ranger

[@topherl1446]

This is one of the nicest videos I have ever seen pictures were excellent description was excellent I was having trouble getting my airbox out was stuck in the bottom grommets so hard I thought it was bolted I was able to work at Lulu's with a screwdriver through the bottom of the air box a little bit of silicone spray lube down into the grommets made it slide out nicely it was really stuck in those grommets on the bottom thought I was going to break the air box in half so thank you for your description of the whole project and not just putting it back in you sure have a definite talent for teaching thank you very much

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Thank you so much. That's a wonderful compliment. I'm glad to be helping.

[@dzynr64]

In depth instructions... I love it! Telling me which way to pull, which size sockets, etc. I wish all DIY videos were like this.

[@edwardfancon9521]

great video. Too many videos skip steps. I only needed the info on the airbox, but it saved me some frustration since I couldn't see what held it in place. I was afraid to horse on it till I saw this video. I am jealous though, yours came off way easier than mine. lol Thanks.

[@johnm5893]

Great professional job. Wish all videos were this detailed showing all the steps and hardware sizes. The small details on electrical connections also is very informative.

There is a screen back in the blower housing you can get to while the blower is out. They are bad about getting clogged up and restricting air flow out of the vents. I duct taped a piece of 1/2" cpvc pipe about 16 inches long into the end of a 1 gallon shop vac. Spray the screen liberally with a soap/water solution from a jet spray bottle. It will clean much better being wet. And vacuum it out. Shine a good light in to inspect it. This screen can also be vacuumed from the inside if you open the glove box and release the latches on the side and let it hang straight down. Put the air conditioner on Max Air and the door will open where you can see the screen. Kill the engine and clean the screen. I do this about once a year. That screen will get very clogged sometimes. I have an 07 and an 09 model and they both have the screen.

Dude. Thank you so much for this video. I know basically nothing about working on cars. This helped me do this swap out in like 45 minutes. I appreciate it very much. Keep up the great work!!!!

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Right on! Glad it helped.

[@slowpoke4557]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! I bought a new motor for my 05 ranger at auto zone ($45) and decided to get the resistor too ($20). The one thing your video did not show, as you said you got yours at a junk yard, was swapping the fan out.... Pry the retaining clip off and save it if new motor did not come with one. A little bit of lubricant on the shaft, hold the fan (helper may be needed) & tap on the end of the shaft with a hammer. Carefully remove foam gasket and place on new motor (i had to glue mine in place) & make sure holes line up. Install fan on motor and secure in place with the retaining clip. I hope that helps anyone that got confused at this point as I had to call up parts store to find that part out. Great video and you helped me out immensely with it!

[@Jstroke615]

You are a master teacher. Well done.

[@oscarluna7775]

This guy explains everything excellently 👍

[@brucelovett44]

Great straight forward video, you make it look so easy! THANK YOU for sharing the size of each bolt, will definately be a time saver when I replace mine!

[@alexbrocklebank8821]

Thank you so much!! I was able to replace my blower motor resistor watching your video!

[@hmelj2736]

I have an '04 and need to do this job. Couldnt ask for a better, more precise video. Hell, you practically did the job for me.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Right on.

[@xlargetophat]

I'm gonna do this on 04 2.3 ranger

[@Rebelutionman123]

Searched and searched and searched for a concise, well shot, well lit, informed video and THIS WAS IT! Thank you, about to change mine and I feel confident!

[@davemessink6410]

Great video. I was in no hurry, but with these instructions I was done in less than an hour. Thank you.

[@SamuelNealey]

Just did this on my 05 ranger, hardest part was taking off and putting back on the air filter housing. Almost felt like i was gonna break it pulling it up was stuck very tight. But i got it done, thanks for the help.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Glad it helped

[@EddyGF800]

Great job showing everything and covering the size of each nut or bolt. Top notch in every way.

[@JustinFeralMcWhirter]

Very well done video. Thank you for the detailed instructions. You've hit the perfect balance between having all the details and not having too much fluff. I can tell you spent some effort editing the video and it shows. Great work!

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Thank you!

[@TheStevedie]

Awesome video. I retired my 04 manual as my daily driver in 2017. It has 330k miles on it and still starts right up and sounds great, minus the lack of exhaust since it was so rotted for 4 years. Since I just replaced the exhaust and completely redid the front brakes...brake lines suck...It's time to tackle the rattling noise and lack of different speeds in the blower. It functions but its annoying and if i can get it done cheaply I'll do it.

[@WhisperGentleman]

Just got done with my blower and resistor, this video helped me out a lot

[@bigrywhat]

Really good explanation. Dumbed it down properly for us newbs. Thank you.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bigrywhat]

@@BarboursAutoHelp don’t forget the fuse in the cab though. That’s what our problem was. All that other stuff needed replaced anyway.

[@josephmirowski371]

Excellent instructions, one tip if you can't get your air intake reservoir off spray a little lubricant into the grommet holes in the bottom works like a charm. the holes lead right to the rubber grommets.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Thanks for the info!

[@MichaelDonahoe-e2x]

Very thorough. Thank you. I use a product called DeoxIT D5 to clean electrical connections. It works great. Just follow the directions on the spray can.

[@thedubbman4453]

Man you make this look soo easy and I'm a woosy to try by myself

[@bryanway9946]

Question. How hard is it to remove just the resistor? And do you possibly have a video for that?

[@PaulMinor-o3k]

Mega thanks, hope my resister is not bad with the blower motor working 😂

[@byronhernandez8741]

Super detailed and informative. Thanks!!

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

Perfect video. Thank you.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Thanks

[@warrenjappe8637]

Yes it was very helpful, one thing after the fact, the resistors on the old pack is mounted on fiberglass it seems, after examining it later I found tiny hairs of glass in my finger, beware! Try not to handle it with bare fingers

[@rdollison37]

Thanks so much. You saved me $100 bucks.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

There it is! You made it worth the time and effort. Thanks for sharing.

[@Mikey34549]

Thanks 👍. I am about to try this on my truck.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Good luck!

[@brucebrooks9462]

Thank you for the video. Very helpful.

[@RichardMurphy-f4r]

had to drill out plastic plug on one of the air filter boxes. Plastic and rubber don't always mix

[@MrAcuta73]

Helpful video, thanks! Mine works perfectly fine, except I somehow got something stuck inside there and it buzzes like crazy, driving me nuts. Just need to get into the housing and pull out whatever debris found its way in. LOL

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

That can be annoying

[@davidv.3135]

Thanks! That helped alot!

[@sigururbjornsson2991]

Great thanks to you, brilliant video.

[@kountzer]

That is a lot easier than working on a blower motor in a 2007 Malibu.

[@robw3027]

Good video- thanks.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Glad you liked it!

[@suziesainnawap9396]

I couldn't remove the whole air filter housing unit, did u have to do pull harder? Or is there a clip somewhere?

[@maicodoug]

Great video, however there is NO need to remove such a large "billable" amount of hours and equipment from the fender. The squirrel cage blower wheel will distort enough to fit into the housing. Simply align the clock rotation (as if the thing would fit in the first place) and at the top position (12 O'clock), with the bottom facing to the rear as much as possible, tip the wheel forward and exactly at the top notice that the wheel is only a quarter inch away from slipping home. Take your time. Then when the closest point, just compress the top of the wheel down, and the old unit slips right out, and the new one slips right in. Even the original unit had NO damage after removal. I had to work harder removing the electrical connectors. 4x8mm & 1x 10mm. Use a 1/4" drive for the 8mm fasteners.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

However you want to do it.

Hello I have a question the Mine when I'm driving it turns off and the a / c turns on will be the blower resistor ?? Ford ranger 2004 4.0l

[@bugsgaming1148]

I CANNOT get the bottom part of my air filter box out..it'd a 2001 4.0 ranger 2wd Is thr any difference or do I need to jus keep pulling?? Any advice would be really helpful thx!

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Not sure how to help on this one. Maybe use penetrating oil. Are you sure there aren't any bolts holding it?

[@Magpie01]

I was able to wiggle mine out without removing the washer fluid reservoir on a 2009. Tilt it down on the front and it will pop out at the top of the opening.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Awesome!

[@7040slim]

Very very interesting easier for me

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Glad to hear that

[@almirnavarro6912]

Please help with hoses that connect the air condition of my ford ranger 2009 from the outside going inside the cabin.

Ok. How?

How long do you think this would take you if you were not doing the video ?

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

10 minutes. I think the book calls for 30.
