Found the Solution to Stop That Annoying Ram 1500 Blower Noise

My 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 AC blower made a loud ticking noise whenever I turned it on. I dropped the blower cleaned the cage, and sprayed WD-40 on the spindle and subsequently into the gear mechanism.
This has seem to fix the issue as it has been 2 months since recording this video and the noise has not returned.

never had to diagnose or replace a blower but this video definitely helps with my 2015 promaster 1500. thank you

[@GermainMoya]

Glad I could help.

[@harrypcs]

Perfect. Thank God I found this video. You're gonna save me some money

[@zoomanmc]

Thanks for the video. After cleaning it up and oiling the bears it still had a lot of noise. The commutator was very rough. I Cut 800 and 1000 girt in to 1/4 inch by 3 inch strips and slide them in to the L shaped slot ( the only place to get at commutator) used a thin bent piece of aluminum to pushing lightly against the sand paper as I turned the motor by hand at first and later by drill. Commutator was shiny again. This got rid of the motor noise. Just the sound of air blowing now.

[@zachprice3279]

I guess I'll have to do this if I ever want it to go away completely

[@GermainMoya]

Good deal, glad you figured it out.

[@alexcasado2417]

Mine started to make a somewhat low-mid level noise which was very annoying. I took the blower out like 4 times to clean it but could never remove the fan cage top cap. After getting frustrated I saw this video and just went crazy with WD-40 inside the actual motor. So much dirt came out that I thought it would work right away. When I tried it out with the blower out I kept hearing the sound and just said "I'm done, I'm buying a new one". But then I thought to let the WD-40 work for a bit and 15 minutes later I started the car and turned the AC on. Surprise surprise!!! I did not hear the sound any more!!! I just hope it stays like that for a long time and the noise doesn't return in a few days.

[@philpowers4243]

Damn that little cap was a pain to take off haha, I used visegrips, sat on a bucket and put both feet on either side of the cage and pulled like hell. Hope this helps those who couldn’t get it off.

[@GermainMoya]

Yes it was a bitc......

[@earlsja]

Thank you very much for the simple video. The clicking was driving me insane and I repeated what you did in the video and it is no longer present

[@GermainMoya]

Glad it helped

[@DavidHBurkart]

Thanks for this. Before I buy the blend door actuator, I am going to give this a shot on my '10 Ram. Appreciate you & subscribed

[@GermainMoya]

Thanks for the comments glad it might help.

[@jimeckenrode1271]

I have a 2013 Ram that the blower quit working I see that your 2014 has a similar but different motor. I like how you did your video, good job.

[@GermainMoya]

Thank you!

[@ryanhart8090]

had a small annoying squeak to start. pulled it all apart and had a hell of a time getting the little yellow cap off, tried tapping the centre pin with a hammer while pulling the fan up and it came apart no problem. cleaned it out and put it back together.... it wouldnt spin lol. turns out whacking the centre pin was a bad idea. it pushed through the back of the motor.... i got it working but now it sounds more like a deck of cards in bicycle spokes😂🤣

[@kunkel3269]

Thanks for the video!! Mines doing the exact same thing. Going to give it a shot.

[@GermainMoya]

Let me know if it worked for you!

[@dannyeugenewaits9486]

Great video! Here I go with a repair or replace... Has the same noise as yours

[@Italianborn]

Mine when gets really cold makes a weird sound like there’s mouse in it lol , but when warms up it actually goes away !

[@jmaverick0807]

I have a 2014 Corolla and have gone through 4 blower motors. 2 I have bought and 2 were replaced under warranty.

[@motomuscl3]

Currently trying and can’t get the cap off to clean it lol...no way it just pulls off

[@ItsAlive111]

Thank you for this video. Mine started making some noise and need to do something similar!

[@GermainMoya]

Did it work?

[@bobhostetler9510]

Awesome video with informative explanation! I hit the suscribe immediately! Super contributor!

[@GermainMoya]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jjredbeard9783]

Nice. Exactly what I was looking for, good job

[@GermainMoya]

Anything to help sir good luck!

[@7livzz]

Try to replace bearing. You need type 608ZZ

[@b35king4aday]

So I got the motor apart. It was doing the ticking as well, but was at least working fine. When I put it back in it wasnt working and I noticed the fan wasnt spinning as freely as before. So I took it back out and completely broke down the motor. I made sure each part was clean, made sure the brushes weren't damaged and still making contact. I got it all back together and now it spins more freely and seems to be getting power because the fan starts but wont stay on and it almost feels like it has a wobble. I'm probably going to have to just get a new motor, but wanted to see if there were any other suggestions out there.

[@661jimenez]

Same thing took motor off and didnt work when placed back on. Took it apart and cleaned everything , seemed fine, itll do half a turn and turn off . Guess ill need another motor

[@Patriotx-gx4ce]

That's a ram issue. I had noisy fan on both 2015 and 2018 new ram 1500 trucks. Slight high pitch noise enough to be annoying but mechanics said it's not a problem.

[@tinshield]

Great video 👍

[@GermainMoya]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@galenburns69]

Thanks for sharing definitely going to subscribe and hear your sidekick helper background lol

[@GermainMoya]

HAHAHAHAH Thanks!

[@jasminejenkins1308]

Thank bro !! You were very helpful

[@mikel.laughridge9480]

Thanks................good work and good help! RAM. Not Dodge.

[@GermainMoya]

Right on, I might look young but I'm still old school LOL

[@SS2369]

This did not go well for me on my 2013 Ram! I found no need to remove the glove box or any trim just the 3 screws, started off great then could not get the cage off but kept on trying ended up ripping the motor in half! Looks like its going to cost me $100 to get mine nice & quiet! How did you ever get that plastic center nut off? Mine did not budge 🤷‍♂️

[@mattortiz8817]

Same with my plastic piece also

[@Shareyourpositive]

Thank you. Mine sounds like a poker card on a bicycle spoke. Click click click. I’ll be pulling mine out soon. It may be out of balance with dirt buildup. I also have a 14 ram

[@GermainMoya]

Awesome, it's still working like a dream for me.

[@ls4.8frank]

My 2018 Ram 1500 5.7L has a steady humming sound which gets louder as you increase the speed of the blower. From about setting 4 or 5 and up it is very noticeable. Going to see if this fixes it. Dont have any clicking so...

[@GermainMoya]

How did you make out? Were you able to get it fixed?

[@AlaskanFalcon]

my 2014 Ram does the same thing. its very annoying. It also blows white dust all over my black dash. I did do the cabin filter mod but that didnt help. my best guess is the AC condenser is flaking.

[@cresposaidso4265]

I have an 08 Dodge Nitro. The blower system is exactly like that. My issue is during heavy rain it floods the floorbed and mats. I know the water is coming in from that area. How is the water getting down there? Any one know? It's driving me crazy.

[@cristianherrera5173]

I hear ticking noise from my 2015 ram 2500 when the ac is on or turning off. Will the process be the same for a 2015 ram 2500

[@GermainMoya]

I'm not 100% but is should be very similar at least to getting to the blower and seeing with your own eyes what's going on.

[@merengueardiente]

That is a carbon drive motor , that noise is the hold carrier, carbon is in the last leg, theses motor are disposable, would have being good idea to have induction motor no that old technology ( maybe they do it on like that On purpose to sell you overprice same old technology)

[@GermainMoya]

Good point, always trying to upsell.

[@Jibbs_actual]

How long till the smell of WD40 goes away?! I could not for the life of me get that damn cap off. It’s mangled now after trying everything suggested here. Two people, vise grips, bucket and feet. Nada. So I cleaned it out best I can with air and wd40 and now the cab smells like my shop. Yay.

[@dasfreakster]

Great video. How did you remove that lock thing on the fan so you could remove the fan?

[@GermainMoya]

I legit just slides up, but holy crap was it hard.

[@crmcbrideww]

Thanks for the video! Is it necessary to remove the glove box?

[@GermainMoya]

Thank you!. It just makes it easier.

[@V.Z.69]

You could have taken it to the dealer, gotten a new part: "See here, see how it's all corroded and the dust dripping off.. that's a big problem. We gonna need replacing that." -- You wait for the part to come in... "Okay sir, parts and labor, $1,050.96. Cash or Credit?"

[@ALIENCASHEW_TTV]

How did you take that white retainer off the top of the fan???

[@GermainMoya]

It's super tough but it does just slide off.

[@hawwary85]

Please let me know what did you do to pick off the cap to remove the cage out of the motor axis...thank you forward.

[@AFirstClassMale]

Mohammad El Hawwary did you get it off?

[@hawwary85]

@@AFirstClassMale unfortunately no.. But my mechanic told me to let some one hold the cage and to hammer on the axe.. But actually I didn't dare to do it.

[@ryanhart8090]

that's what I did. I held the cage with 1 hand a hammered the pin/axle thing down lol. then i pried a flat head screw driver in it and popped it apart.

[@ryanhart8090]

update... dont wack the centre pin😂🤣 its really hoobiedoobied now lol.

[@mattortiz8817]

How did you remove that yellow plastic piece on the fan? The one the keeps it on the shaft.

[@GermainMoya]

That thing was on there but you just pull straight out.

[@TonyF1MMA]

You sound exactly like Stephen Wonderboy Thompson

[@GermainMoya]

I hope that's a good thing?!

[@bernardsmith6574]

Did you have to take the glove box out. Should just drop down huh

[@GermainMoya]

I took mine out just to have room.

[@freemaysin5088]

Welp, I needed this and this confirmed what I already thought. However....... where in the hell did you get that drill attachment?!?!?!?!? that thing is fantastic

[@LesForPresident]

Just about any hardware store should have them, including lowes or home depot. Ask for a "flex bit extension" and someone should point you in the right direction

[@GermainMoya]

That flex bit gets used way more than I thought it would for sure.

[@thefirstkingridge]

Nice shirt

[@GermainMoya]

#gobirds

[@handyhenry8654]

Removing the glove box isn't necessary.

[@justinvelazquez4682]

How did you pop the cap off ? It seems impossible for me

[@GermainMoya]

It was really, really hard but it does just slide off.

[@dude1234522]

That fucking cap at 3:00 is impossible to get off. Spent the last 30 minutes trying to get it off but not to break it.

[@wlhahn]

Any experience with your cruise control not working or being able to turn on at all?

[@dusty6988]

Bill my 2016 cruise control button is flakey. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but if I hit it repetitively it will eventually come up

[@whatisit15]

I have a 14 ram 1500 and mine goes in an out every couple months I just bang my hand on the steering wheel and it comes back lol

[@philpotrawiak6708]

they're faulty... been recalls on it. check with a ram dealer to get it replaced

[@ZBULLET523]

Go eagles!!

[@germanfernandez9033]

🤙🤙👌👌👊👊👊😎

[@Tractors_and_trees]

Dodge started making trucks again!? Lol...

[@mikel.laughridge9480]

I think he ment to say RAM

[@nikhuebner2221]

This guy is miss leading. DON’T ever spray WD40 into an electric motor. The spray can gum up the grease inside even more. Best thing is to take the motor apart and clean from inside out.

[@thedeathwobblechannel6539]

Great video!
