Greetings, I have a 2006 Acura Mdx, the problem I have is that the fan where the resistor was changed draws hot air while in front of the driver it comes out cold, I would like to know if it is the same problem of changing the resistor

Just want you to know that your video is still being a blessing to others in 2024 ... I had to tackle this problem on my 2006 MDX and was able to order the part before hand after seeing it in your video ... was able to remove the center console because of your clear guidance, and just saved myself a lot of money by not having a mechanic do it for me .. thanks again for sharing

This is one of the most informative and accurate videos I have used for auto Repair. The Price is accurate, the fix is accurate and the additional info about cleaning the wire mesh covering the blower is proof these guys are a cut above the rest. THANK YOU very much Guys !!!!

[@ritaribs6324]

Thank you for this easy peasy step by step video. I'm a 63 yo woman and if I can do it, anyone can with this! Cost was under $15 online, was here in 2 days and literally took me less than 15 minutes to get the panel off, the resistor out, order it and put it back together! OMG! And I saved myself over $700 that the stealership wanted! Ridiculous! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

[@GarageBoys]

Glad I was able to help! You can buy the part brand new on amazon for $16.... but at least you fixed it already 😊

[@marcussoniat2759]

Thanks for the great video! After I replaced the resistor and cleaned the blower filter, the back now blows twice as good

[@barrychandra4413]

One of the best vids I’ve seen guy speaks in great detail. Thumbs up!

[@jackofmanytrades4396]

Much less frequently, it's that relay right there by the blower intake. Sometimes after a long period of disuse after the thermal fuse in the control module blows, the blower fan will become stuck, and needs to be spun by hand to free it up after replacing the control module. Plan on replacing it in the near future if that is the case with your MDX or other Acura/Honda with this system.

[@dustinweiser8536]

Thanks man saved me $80 buying a resistor from Orielys

Hello! I have an 02 MDX. Read AC doesnt work I did what the video shows. But no luck. I notice the rear AC buttons/lights (orange lights) dont work. Maybe that’s my problem…. May I ask, what you would do to fix that?

Thabks for the tip, will check it in a few days.

Great video. I have A 2003 MDX. Need some heat help. Do you know what to do if the rear blows heat but the front still blows cold?

[@GarageBoys]

You have to replace your ac actuator, vehicles will have between 3-5 actuators. Basically the little motor that opens or closes vents, they are usually behind the glove compartment or by the pedals

[@tirrellwalker1321]

@ Thank you for response! I’ll let you know how it goes. Praying 🙏🏾 I won’t have to pay to replace a heater core.

[@GarageBoys]

Check your relay

[@williecoprico6799]

Hello Garage Boys. The front ac on my 09 MDX quit out of the blue today. I am happy I found your video here. Should I be looking for a front ac resistor and would that be in the same vicinity of the one you showed? Thank you.

[@GarageBoys]

Is your blower not turning on at all? If it’s not the check your relays

[@williecoprico6799]

@@GarageBoys The front motor functionality was a bit wishy washy. Very low speed and no cool air. When turned to high there seemed to be good air flow but still w/o cooling. All this time the rear ac was normal. Since my last post I have determined that it was the front blow resistor acting up. I will do more diagnostics in that direction. By the way where about is the relay you have mentioned? Thank you.

[@GarageBoys]

You will find the relay in the fuse box, either under the hood or the ones inside the cabin. But if your blower is turning on then your problem is not the relay, sounds like you may be low in freon

[@armandog9582]

Thank you very much my friend for this info. 🙏

[@mackie7973]

Hey I changed that resistor on my 2002 MDX, but my rear ac still not working. Do you have any other ideas I could try?

[@GarageBoys]

The a/c Blower, and it’s on the other side of the resistor

[@GarageBoys]

But also check fuses

[@valtronike4391]

@@GarageBoys Can you tell me where are the fuses under the hood? I checked the fuse below the driver side and that one was ok.

[@foongU]

My 02 mdx blows somewhat luke cool warm air like it wants too from the front an the back blows slowly like it's not strong enough so not sure if it's the part you replaced or my actuator? But my rear fan slow not strong enough...so my door blend actuator located in the center console?

[@GarageBoys]

Yes, maybe your blower is dirty and that’s why it’s not spinning fast. Or you may have to replace it

Works great 👍

[@midwesternrail4729]

What You'll need: Yourself, The car. and the AC resistor.

[@stevepage5612]

I replaced the resistor with a new on and still didn't work. I noticed when I touched the resistor (both new and old one) by accident to the metal bracket when pulling it out, it would spark when the metal on the resistors would make contact with the metal bracket. Could it be the relay?

[@GarageBoys]

Not sure, sounds like a short

[@valtronike4391]

It happened to me too and blew out air in the back, but couldn't control how much air coming out.

[@skyskysk9865]

Thanks for sharing. Helped me out a lot

[@dodo13500]

Your car looks just like mine! Same color lol. Replaced that last summer with no luck any ideas? Great video by the way.

[@GarageBoys]

If that didn’t work, then your issue can be either the relays for the rear blower or the blower itself which is on the passenger side behind the same panel removed in this video

[@raulignacio5400]

@@GarageBoys I followed your instruction to check the relays for the rear blower or the blower itself. I removed the passenger side panel and did not see the relay. where is it located?

[@GarageBoys]

I meant to say that on the passenger side panel you can remove the blower, on the driver side you can clean it but to remove it you do it from the passenger side. The relays should be in the fuse box, check the manual for more details or google 2006 MDX owners manual.pdf and you can see the manual online

[@faythemoon]

Thank you so much!!!

[@ALSTR330]

I cleaned the mesh filter, but in the area where your resistor is, my plug seems to be attached to a white box that looks like a relay. 2008 Honda Pilot. Any advice? Is my resistor in a different location, because all the videos seem to suggest it should be where you show?

[@GarageBoys]

Best bet is to follow the cable from the blower and you will find the resistor

[@ALSTR330]

Garage Boys OK thank you. I did more research, and the resistor to my Pilot appears to be a different style (used in 2007 Pilots). I ordered a replacement part, so hopefully that fixes our issue.

[@markboisvert1857]

The resistor could be on the other side of the blower motor that you recommended to clean under the gear shifter. Remove the panel on the other side of the console. On the Acura MDX 2005 2006 there’s a resistor on the other side of that fan with the screen. Same type of plug/Resistor but it’s on the passenger side

[@berhaneb1]

Thank you so much, very helpful video. I was quoted $550 at my local shop for a blower motor. I have 2003 MDX. Got this on Amazon just as you recommended, it's currently discounted to $13.99 www.amazon.com/dp/B07GKFDVH8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. It literally took less than 10 mins, and I also cleaned the filter as you recommended (it was definitely dirty). I just wish I watched your video earlier in the year, Arizona summer was no joke this year and my son suffered... Anyways, thanks again, much appreciated!
