[@RBTheMechanic]

@@itsgrapples_394 try checking if ac compressor engages and if it dosent swap the relay for ac compressor also it could be blend door stuck on heat side

My blower motor has a lot of bearing noise. I want to replace it. Do I need to do the resistor too?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Not necessarily

[@aribpm]

I get power to the panel but no air whatsoever. 2007 TSX though. Fuses looked good but not sure about the relays are what fuse would be for the actual blower.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Try high speed and then check to see if u got power and ground at blower motor Connector

[@aribpm]

@@RBTheMechanic thank you sir. It was the resistor but the way the blower motor looked it was definitely time to replace it so I did. $180 for the AC/heat to work again was worth it. Took about 2 hours total from watching the video to actually getting it done. It should take someone with the proper tools about 30 mins. Most of my time was spent rigging up a tool to unscrew one screw that was in a really tight spot. I could not find a really long Philips head at 1am.

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@aribpm nice job!! At least u got it done and new tools will be worth it on long run u will make/ same ur money!!!

As always, another great tutorial from RB. My blower works on all speeds on my 2011 TSX, but, it's weak. Like compared to my 07 CRV, speed 4 on my TSx is like speed 2 on my CRV. Cabin filter is good. Could it be a sign of a the blower motor going bad? TIA. TSX has 150k miles.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yes it might be the sign but I never changed it u less it’s dead

Please help my blower motor stays on as soon as I turn on the ignition. after that it won't turn off no matter what I press.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Start with swaping out the relay maybe relay is stuck

[@yechanlim202]

I have a question. Where did you get a new blower motor from?

[@RBTheMechanic]

I buy all of my parts from my local part store buywise

[@rafaelflores7902]

My ac won't turn on or the heater i replaced the blow motor resistor and it worked for a bit but again stopped working , should i replace the blow motor or is there a way i can check if the blow motor works ?

[@RBTheMechanic]

So ur not getting air from the vents? Use test light to see if bowler motor has power and ground check at all speeds

[@ernestoalcaraz5611]

@@RBTheMechanic ac blowing cold air but not with strength like it supposed to what do you suggest?

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@ernestoalcaraz5611 strength meaning force of air or coldness

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yes might be diffrent set up or some what similar and diffrent parts

[@louisfredgagnon]

Changed my AC comp, condenser, alternator, all pulleys, poured some Pag oil, vacuumed my system and filled it with Walmart's r134a, voilà, great results but man, my blowing motor is either real dirty or going bad.... it's making a drone noise when I start the Ac ooops

[@RBTheMechanic]

Look to see if somthing is inside the blower motor fins

[@louisfredgagnon]

@@RBTheMechanic oki ! Thanks, that's weird tho, no sound whatsoever today... I was inside a private parking lot and only put the AC at minimum speed. Kept it mid range and it blew fine, I'll keep an eye on it for the next few days

[@gabrielacosta5807]

My blower motor is not blowing at all is this the problem?

[@RBTheMechanic]

It can be try high speed other wise check fuses and relay and check to see if blower motor connector got power and ground

[@MathCuriousity]

@@RBTheMechanic how do I locate the fuse and the relay ?! Thanks!

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@MathCuriousity look under hood fuses it has listing under cover

[@MathCuriousity]

@@RBTheMechanic everything is connected correctly and power is fine. But when I turn my fan on, I hear a high pitched noise.
