[@golfandhike5598]

Thanks for the video. I changed the B.M. on my 2004 Acura via the glove compartment. It works great now.

[@golfandhike5598]

Thank you. My blower motor fan runs on high no matter what. Going to change the B.M.

[@Aaron-hd8ql]

Please do a video on a bad electronic throttle body and symptoms and possible testing with a multimeter.

[@snooterdavid1969]

Will it cause fan not to blow 3 or 4 minutes after turning on? I'm half way to work before blower cones on.

[@benwilliams5760]

Hi there. If my blower keeps cutting in then out (but I can still change the fan speed when it's decided to work) could it still be a resistor issue? Thanks!

Can this also cause the ac compressor not to engage I have this issue but the air is also not getting cold either it works on highest speed. But air doesn’t cool down. Heat works though

[@ding9633]

Did you find an answer?

[@estebansaint]

@@ding9633 Yes I actually did Removed the blower motor to test it with a 9 volt battery after finding out if or not your blower motor works I went back and testing the relay in the fuse box and it ended up being that. Hope this works for you.

[@andrespaz989]

​@estebansaint i have similar problem. My AC doesn't blow cold air so I replaced the AC compressor now I notice it only blows on max setting, but I THINK it did that when the A.C. actually used to blow cold air last summer but I could be wrong. Did yours start to blow cold and on all settings once you replaced the relay?

[@byronmunnings]

I changed the blower motor in my car but now when I turn on the AC only a little air comes out. I changed both filters and when changing the fan speed I hear the blower increase in power but still little air out vents. What you guys think?

[@sixraven]

2014 Hyundai accent, 4-speed blower, position three acts like it's on low, the other positions were correct. Would this be a switch or resistor??

[@precision_Air]

My '11 camry blower motor stays on high even with the vehicle off and key out. Please help! Fixed Update: the blower motor has a resister in it. You can replace the $50 blower motor or replace the $25 resister. I recommend replacing the resister because the chinesium motor isn't as good as the original. They're both under the glove compartment (passenger side)

[@PapajosTraders]

Having the same issue with my 07 Silverado, looking for fix.

[@hsittefchannel8911]

Well could be a blown fuse I would check that first if that’s not the problem I would replace the resistor or at least test the old one that you have if that checks out then I would look into buying a blower motor especially if you swich the speed and nothing happens because usually the resistor or the motor will go out before the switch/ relay dose

[@aaronwhite3210]

Thank you needed this very helpful Brodie

[@jason8044]

I’ve got a 2013 Captiva that the ac only works on high. Try and turn speed down and it just stops completely. What’s the easiest way to troubleshoot this without having to go out and buy new parts for everything? Any help is appreciated.

[@999torres]

Yeah I replaced my blower motor it turned on for a bit then completely off going to replace the resistor Monday when it comes in, hope that solves my issues.

I have a 2005 Scion tc that AC works fine and randomly after a while the blower won’t kick on unless I tap on the bottom pretty hard and it gets it going fine no problem. All speeds works. Could it still be a bad blower motor resistor?

[@booyakashaboy7250]

Have a 2014 Dodge Durango V6. Air totally stopped blowing. Front blower motor fuse has blown several times. I've replaced them with other 40A ones from the fuse box. Then replacing those with non oem 40A ones. Every time the AC starts working fine again. It lasts a few weeks to about a month. Last time I used one of the aftermarket 40A for the blower. Today it blew & the fuse actually melted in its spot. Gonna try to coax it out of there. Someone had mentioned these fuses are directional. The oem ones have theses grooves on one side where the aftermarket ones did not. Not sure if this was a factor. But gonna buy the oem style after I get it out. Don't believe its a short because the problem is not intermittent. Gonna try replacing the blower motor, resistor & plug if it looks burnt. In your opinion or if someone else that's knows these symptoms please chime in, would you say that's a sounds like a sound plan of attack to in all likelihood resolve my issue or is this over kill? Thanks!

[@johnellisonarmadilloconstr7966]

If it melted then that means it’s making a bad connection at the fuse. Same thing happened to me. Dealership said I need a new fuse box under hood. $600 plus labor. Nope I took it out and bent the prongs back together. Fixed it

[@marcpower4167]

I'm getting a burning rubber smell as I'm driving and i hear a sort of humming or buzzing noise, just replaced my fan blower motor about 2 months ago. Could that be because of the resistor?

[@hsittefchannel8911]

It could be but to me sounds like a short circuit somewhere causing a meltdown somewhere in the system I would check your wires around your ventilation system first

[@zacharybinx5859]

I have a 2017 Ram 2500 and on high fan speed it feels like it’s barely on. Would that resistor cause that to happen?

[@easyautofix]

It is possible yes, it could also be your blower motor.

Hey guys. I have a problem. In my 1996 Chevy Tahoe the ac and the air stop coming out . This happened last week . I was driving and using the ac and at first it smelled like something was burnt and then the air stop coming out. I was using the mood wear all the air gets push out to you but when the air shout off I could feel it barely coming out from the vent under the dash . Any ideas on how I can go about fixing it ? Thank you’ll

[@johncastillo2194]

I had this exact issue with an 08 tahoe

[@hsittefchannel8911]

It could be a couple issues the first one I would try and see if there’s a short somewhere that cased the meltdown (if any of the wires are melted that is) if not I would try to replace the blower motor especially if you used it a lot recently and or if it’s never been replaced after checking the fuses ofc

[@easyautofix]

It's possible that the relay is stuck in the "on" position, causing the blower motor to run continuously. Locate the relay in the fuse box and try swapping it with a similar relay to see if that resolves the issue.

[@dhanssolo]

I got an Audi A4 (B5) that when on heater, the fan speed slowly increases by itself and then pops a fuse. I tried it on a/c and it pops the fuse in less than a minute. I'm guessing its the blower motor resister/relay? Edit: I should also mention the fact that my controls are digital and not a dial. I see the LED screen increase fan speed. The circuit board for the display looks fine and clean. No burn marks. Its a year 2000 vehicle, so my guess is the relay is shorting and it back feeds to the panel thinking the speed changed due to voltage increase?

[@johan_GT4.6]

Theres a short

[@HaidaWay]

When the fuse for it is in, everything works fine but it won’t turn off even when the car is off. Is this the same kind of issue or something else?

Mine started doing the same thing last year. I had to add refrigerant to my system, and the problem went away. The problem just popped back up yesterday. Let us know if you find a fix.

[@hsittefchannel8911]

It could be a bad resistor but it could also be a short somewhere or somewhere I sent making good contact especially if it improves if you hit a bump/jolt the car in some way I would check the connections first then go to test the resistor

@@hsittefchannel8911 So, there’s the R23 fuse which is related to the AC and there are couple other fuses under the hood, which they all work fine. A mechanic connected a scanner to the car to see if the blower and the climate control receive their power. He left the car for a minute to answer a phone call that suddenly my AC started to work for about 30 seconds and then all the lights on the climate control went off. Don’t you think it’s the climate control ? Because the blower worked for 30 seconds. What do you think ?

It could be that or a blown fuse due to the short that caused the meltdown I would check for shorts first then the fuses/relays responsible then test the resistor

[@JB91710]

I have a 2005 Tahoe. The HVAC controls are the digital type. I turned the truck on and the blower came on. I turned off the truck and the blower stayed on high. The blower speed control didn't adjust the speed. I pulled the 40 Amp fuse, and the fan went off. I'm thinking that something in the control panel has cross circuited. Could a bad blower resister make the fan stay on even with the truck shut off? Both my blower and resister were changed before I bought it. This spring the blower wouldn't come on at all. I pulled a fuse out, cleaned the milky corrosion off the blades and the blower came back on. Does anyone have some ideas?

I would start with the fuse. It's happened to me before. If it is the fuse, you have to figure out why it went out.

[@nightryder16]

Man I'm stumped and Idk what to do anymore. 😔 I got a 06 crown victoria and the AC would work but barely blow. The high speed level felt like the lowest but each speed would be about a 1/10th faster than the other. Then I turned the knob to heat and it changed to heat..ok fine.. Well no it's not because when I went to put it back on cold it's stuck on heat. I know blend door actuators are a common fail but so is the resistor. I'm lost
