Fixing slow blowing a/c on 02-08 dodge ram 1500

[@jasluviano]

Hey good job man, I was about to spend 400 bucks to have someone fix it. Did the whole thing myself, with your help ofcourse. 👊👍

[@izzyvillanueva5696]

THANK YOU!!!!! We got our 02 back in march and the ac does not blow and we’re in Florida 🥵 saw your video worked on the truck and surprised the hubby!!!! Thank again!!

[@scottkida3207]

The same exact thing was wrong with my 2005 Ram 1500. You are a life saver man. Simple 5 minute fix and the air is freezing me out of my truck again! Thanks again.

[@csalinas-sf6jg]

It's all I was wanting to know! Thanks

Did removing the door affect the window defrost in the winter?

[@SoFlaRocks]

Mine also is a 2005 RAM1500 broken door

[@prakashksinha]

@@SoFlaRocks did you replace it or just took out - if removed then its full exchange and not recirculate all season. just want to see whats been your experience with defrost etc, if onyl removed

[@vicsanchez4945]

The screw in the back is a bit challenging. Yes that small little plastic door was broken. I removed it. I did not remove the glove box, I was able to get to it from underneath once I removed the fan. It took me 15 mins. I have air coming out of those vents now. I still need to add Freon or replace my compressor but it is definitely better. Thanks for the video. I have a 2004 Ram that I bought in 2006. I've had my truck for 13 yrs and I have been suffering since. Thanks for the video.

Thanks Edgar, great video and advice! I know you said you removed the glove box to show us, so thanks. Like Vic, I didn’t. Took the fan off, reached up in there and took out the plate. Took me 20 min taking my time. A hurricane of cold air now...thanks again!

[@sycopath1]

Thanks for the video. I just picked up a used Dodge Ram 1500 and I could feel the air was blowing but you could barely feel it. It took me 3 minutes to fix my air conditioner. It blows like a hurricane now. My door was broken just like yours was.

[@jamesjagielo3214]

Edgar, I want to thank you for producing your video regarding the 2008 Dodge Ram AC blowing issue. I followed your instructions and it worked just like you said and demonstrated so well. Thank you, so much & God Bless you & your family.

[@nmanglallan]

I just had this happen to me, when I took off thr blower motor, I was like wtf is that plate. Thank you so much for giving me confidence to just get rid of it!!

[@nervousnova6945]

I just want to say this helps me a bunch and I didn't even have to share my whole - so thank you for your video

[@GlasUndMetall]

Subbed! So we just watched this, went out to our 2008 Ram, took that fan out, and found that same door you show here, ours looked exactly like yours, blew our minds. Thank you SO MUCH from my husband and especially me, this is my truck and the lack of air was driving me crazy. This was a huge help, bless you for taking the time to make this video it was such a help to us

[@codylewis3775]

Used this video to fix the same problem on my '07. Works great now. Thank you for the advice! Replacing this door is going to be a much bigger job.

[@trucannon2485]

Thanks a lot, just bought one a week ago and was quite pissed that after spending cash, I couldn't even feel the air. Did this in about 20 minutes and voila it worked great and blowing strong! Ur the man lol!

[@AuditorioBonanza]

Hi Edgar, great solution and great video explanation. I have the same problem or low air pressure and with this quick fix it works completely different and way better. My RAM it's a 1500 SLT 2002 Quad Cab. I appreciate your video and guidance. Octavio Marroquin from Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico.

Thank you so much, this saved me so much time and $. For people who want to block the outside air- just cover the opening under the outside vent. Happy as can be!

Thanks Edgar this totally solved the same issue in my 05. It is so nice to have it back fully working in August!

Damn I literally was just about to watch this video and I thought let's just take the blower out and see if its blocked I took my blower off and I found the same exact thing wrong with my truck definitely made a huge difference for my truck good video thought to the point

[@NachineX64]

Thank you so much! My A/C on my 2006 RAM is working great again. The flap was already broken when I got in there, pulled it out and put the fan back and wow!

[@LouisianaLu337]

Thank you so much for your video. I was able to fix my AC in 10 minutes just by removing the fan. My plastic part was just broken laying in there and I was able to maneuver it out. 07 Ram 1500. That was getting rough in the 100° heat.

2008 Ram 3500. Symptoms, Blower operates only if high is selected. AC light on AC switch push button only illuminates and AC only operates if blower is selected to high. Fan blower motor sounds like its bearings are failing. Replaced fan blower motor assembly. Fan sounds normal with new unit, but other symptoms persisted. Replacing the resistor assembly with new unit, fixed the other issues. Thanks for posting the video.

[@1fnjoreinhofer940]

Don't forget to check the electrical connectors at the blower speed controller a blower module for evidence of melting around terminals. The blower will likely not blow as well if you got a poor connection.

Nice quick fix. Today on 6/14/2020, with respect to my 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT, I found out that "Door" was broken and I was able to pul it thru the blower hole. Now I jest need to figure out how replace that "Door" with a new one :)

[@steelernation1038]

any luck?

[@chrisparman2080]

Yes, soon after that reply from me I was able to replace the blend door after purchasing a new door (I believe the mfg is Doorman). The process was somewhat easy, however if you have large hands it might prove difficult (I have medium size hands).

[@prakashksinha]

@@chrisparman2080 hey chris did you have to take the whole dashboard out? how did you replace it otherwise?

[@chrisparman2080]

@@prakashksinha: No need to remove the whole dashboard. I pretty mush followed the way the guy did it in the video. I remopved the blower gan and removed the glove compartment door. I have to open up the access slot a bit to get my hands inside.

[@oscarking8679]

Thanks it really worked 👌

[@tyrellestephens7671]

Hey Nice Video. Question... does removing the door affect the window defrost in the winter?

[@billbross7085]

Symptoms I had. I heard a loud crack when the door broke. AC would not blow cold. Fan made a loud rumbling/growling noise on high speeds only. Modes would not switch. All cured ith the removal of the door. I took mine out by pulling until it snapped in half.

[@SoFlaRocks]

Yes my door was broken same place by the hinge and took it out through fan hole. Doorman makes a replacement door for like $25 but I run my AC on recirculate 100% of the time for the coldest setting. I think your fix is mixing air from the outside its not max AC its not recirculate wont be as cold on a hot day and fumes in traffic its letting outside air in being in South Florida. there is another video where the guy blocked the fresh air inlet under the cowling with flex tape so outside air is blocked Im taking that route and super quick fix. The screws are are removed 3 ways flat head, torx 25, and 5/16 socket. The torx worked the best for me. I didn't remove the seat but it was a mother to get to the back screw all did it by feeling around and took pics with my cellphone upside down was easier to put back in then to take out

[@Wndsrfr48]

Good info, going to go pull the fan motor now.

[@m.c.2c587]

On a 2006 dodge ram 1500 slt 4.7L you can get to the actuator by removing the glove box. Super easy. When you remove the actuator a little white plastic pin will stay behind you can break the tabs with a razor blade by just using the tip it will just come out easy. Trying to push our hammering child break the housing.

[@zeusb.8659]

I thought that flap is the AC filter you are supposed to replace the filter for clean air?

[@omartorres2306]

Thank you for that bro 🙏

[@hdzcecilia8]

but how does the door stay in the open position , did he place a screw on it ?

[@efaciler2462]

My door isn't broken but barely blowing air. Any suggestions?

[@Devin_Schwartz]

Clogged A/C evaporator coil, located immediately downstream of the blower fan. The (designed) absence of a cabin air filter means any dirt/dust sucked in by the blower fan will stick to the condensation on the evap coil, eventually caking the front face with a wall of hardened dirt, blocking airflow. Travel on dirt roads/off-roading will make this much worse.

I have a 2007 2500 and it doesnt blow hard. I was searching how to clean the filter,is there a filter? After reading all these comments has me wondering if this might be my issue? If it is the issue and folllow this video, do you leave the door out as a temporary fix or do you fix it later? And if you remove the door what does this affect?

[@steelernation1038]

any luck? looking for info on door's function/purpose

[@Devin_Schwartz]

@@steelernation1038 - The door is driven by an actuator that rotates it between covering the opening behind the glovebox (recirculation air intake) or the opening to the windshield cowling (fresh air intake). When the door is broken/removed, the HVAC blower fan will be pulling air from both sources, fresh air and cabin air.

[@Devin_Schwartz]

There is no cabin air filter on these trucks.

[@kenji-be9cz]

Are there any downsides to no longer having that door there?

[@jerryees]

I thought that removing the blend door would let in outside air in every time you drive the truck with the a/c on.
