Thank you so much for this upload. I'm sure this fixes other Halloween props with similar functions. I would love to see more videos of repairs being made to these props if you are able! Thanks again!

[@Alangley1979]

Thanks for the video!😊 Can you please make one on the sound box? Mine won’t come on. 🙁

[@theharvester358]

I know I'm late. The same thing happened to me with the same animatronics..

[@MOLLYTOLAN]

i dont have a motor as such but my witch wont talk would you have any idea how to fix that ..i have a box like yours above your motor

[@kylejackson5716]

Can you please send a link where you got the elastic bands? I have 4 where the motor sounds like it is running but nothing is happening. This would be huge if it works. Thank you!

[@freddiehernandez9998]

*my animatronic is jus making a clicking noise it was just working yesterday 😢 any advice? I plug in the adapter n just a click sound from box it plugs into, this is the Crouchy the clown 7ft animatronic*

[@MikeFixesThings]

Start with looking for the elastic and changing it. If there is no elastic you will want to make sure the sprockets/gears are connecting properly. Please let me know how it goes. (Please click the 👍 and subscribe it would help me out too)

Can someone tell me how to fix a fried speaker box it happened to my the black heart because i tried out more adapters for it and it fried that would be great if someone can because i need him for my haunt

[@glydoklagia989]

Where in the world do you get replacement gears for these things? I have a rusty with 2 broken gears that I have tried to make replacements for and they just keep breaking.

Dude I love spirit Halloween, but dang that’s the old spirit Halloween animatronic.. I forgot what it’s name is but I know it thrashes

Great video!! I was wondering if you knew how to fix the motor on the Animatronic Rocking chair witch that Home Depot used to sell? Her voice still works and her eyes still glow, but she doesn’t lunge forward anymore. The previous owner said they heard a click in the box, then she no longer rocked after that. Thanks for any help!

[@a.a.c2171]

@@MikeFixesThings Thank you, I did :)

When I was putting on the new rubber band the pulley that spins the sprockets popped up all the way and I was able to pull it out and now it’s not working again for Michael myers the rubber bands work just now I think I pulled a sprocket off it when it shot up.

[@timothyballard5215]

I have a jack straw Is animatronic. It's motion to squat down in a sitting position and jump up it stopped. Now the motor just click, click click clicks and has no motion

Hi! How would open the gearbox to repair a broken volume dial? We can not get it open!

[@TheHC420]

Make a video to fix a Spirit Halloween Monty arm broken I mean which side of the arm is Noah day is this the right arm? This is the left arm

[@AouliStars]

Hey I know this is how you fix one but how do you disable the voicebox if you know? This may sound weird but im trying to customize the animatronic and the voicebox is making it a challenge since it has this loud and incredibly annoying looping howl that I want to get rid of but I cant figure out how without damaging the rest of the animatronic and nobody had ever made a tutorial on how.

[@lexieoliver2975]

I have the peekaboo clown from spirit. The arms have stopped moving and I'm not sure what to do

[@BoxChevyCaprice22]

I have fright in the box from spirit. It works just the sound doesn’t work anymore. Any ideas on how to fix that? Thanks

Do u know how to fix voice on animatronics i haven’t been able to get sound out of mine I accidentally used the wrong wire and I think it messed up speakers

[@nickmcguirk9495]

The arm on my creep animatronic broke...the metal clips have snapped ....what do you suggest I do?

[@gabrielw5195]

I have a mister punchy animatronic from spirit he was on sale because he was broken as they said. he has some type of oil on his motor idk what it is what should I do I have heard marine grease works should I put on some type of grease on the motors?

[@gabrielw5195]

@@MikeFixesThings idk I lost the adapter so I can't test it out sadly I will probably get a new one. But idk what is wrong with it they never told us I don't think. They just put some weird oil on it like lube. So I just don't know. I will probably call the spirit zombie tech squad to get replacement parts

[@HorrorChannel7]

Do you know how to fix a costco lunging reaper?? He doesnt move or speak anymore!

[@thatfoxygamer5644]

I used to have a a animatronic like that and I accidentally fried the motherboard with a 10 V adapter and I thought it was 6 Vtwo and put up there so I might be getting another one soon but I was sad after that

@@MikeFixesThings I tried all of that. I’m not giving up when I figure it out I’ll send a message. Thank you for the suggestions!

[@afriend301]

By any chance do you know the dc motors these props use? I assume they use the same ones for all since they're built similar but I just don't know the voltage (I don't have the old motor so I'm unable to read what voltage it was). Thanks in advance!

[@zachthehaunter4778]

Most motors have a voltage of 6v

[@dmx248]

I have the it clown from morbid its clicking are there elastic bands in there ???

[@dmx248]

What if the motor on the animatronic just does a clicking noise? This happen after some guy knock my animatronic over, stop working. I just here a very soft clicking sound coming from the motor. The head on the motor doesnt seem to be moving or turning, do you think its the motor? Need help! Thanks!

Hi thank you for the video, I have 2 animatronics that they Suppose to move the mouth but for some reason they stopped doing it, do you know by chance how to fix them? Tha k you

[@18primo]

@Mike Fixes Things thank you I really appreciate it

[@Usagiako]

Totally last min but do you know why an animatronic would move as normal and light up but stop talking?? This keeps happening to our animatronics. I opened one up today and all the wires are good nothing loose but the speaker just makes a static noise 😢

[@rubickqube]

My animatronic moves normally, but the jaw of the head isn't moving. Is that a separate motor in the head piece or would the main motor fix that as well?

[@spookylantern8897]

pretty sure it’s non mechanical and attached to a spring, so the spring might’ve gotten stuck

I brought another electrical plug cause I lost the one that came with it. Plugged it in and it started working, saying all the sentences it says. So I unplugged that and then later plugged it back in and it just stopped working. I’m at a lost as to what made it work correctly at first and after unplugging it stopped talking. The head and eyes are still working.
