How to Replace the AC Blower Motor on a 2017 Toyota Corolla

[@fuentestheresa40]

I have a 2017 toyota corolla at 58,000 miles that made the same sounds as the car in the video. I started off making those sounds to eventually not working at all. Today i changed the blower motor myself with the help of this video!! This video was SOOO helpful and easy to follow. Thank you so much! For anyone watching/reading make sure to get the right one. My car needed the motor with auto temp which has a different electrical plug than the regular one. Thank you again for your helpful video!

You just saved my son 374 in parts and labor. Thank you. We will be picking up a part and doing it together.

Great video! I'm a 28 year old female and I was able to do mine! I definitely took me over an hour but I had sweaty hands and kept loosing my bring and I struggled with the clips but it was a piece of cake!!

[@RoysGarage808]

Great thing about video is that there’s editing, some jobs are tough and take a really long time!!! Glad I could help and Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@carlobonilla1581]

Yes thank you. I removed the motor. Now I just have to order a new one. My old one wasn't running at all and I checked my fuses and they were OK so I hope this fixes it.

[@treborzerimar118]

How did you take off those white clips

[@Monica-il3rg]

@@treborzerimar118 oh lord that part took the longest after hurting my fingers I grabbed a flat screw driver and used that to push it down and that did the trick

Excellent! Just what I was looking for, because the blower of my 2017 Corolla died and this video saved my day.

I knew where every screw and clip was and the order to take them off and put them back on, thanks to this video. I appreciate the sharing of this information!! Thank you!!

So I have a 2016 I take it it’s the same? And that is so much simpler then I thought thoe should I try to clean it first before I spend money on a new part? But mine would rev and now it won’t kick on unless I hit it but it won’t stay on for long

[@justinferris1322]

Thanks Roy, appreciate it. Too simple.

[@taylo7]

Do I absolutely need the grease if I don't have any?

[@CJ-1486]

Changing mine now. Did you have to unplug the battery before doing this job?

[@RoysGarage808]

For this one, you do NOT have to disconnect the battery. I hope that helps, thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Is the electric grease essential?

It’s not NECESSARY but very good and recommended for the best electrical connection. Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@melanciafan]

I had a lot of trouble with the white clips too. I was able to get them off with short, needle nose vise grips. (I didn't have needle nose pliers on hand but, I'm willing to bet they'd be more likely to work than bare hands too though.)

[@harvyaguilera9382]

Exelente video gracias Sir.

[@tangy25]

Thanks to this video, I found the blower. This is my work vehicle. Gave it a kick and now my ac works again. Thank God toyotas can take some abuse

Do I need automatic temp control? Or one without ATC for my 16 Corolla ?

Thanks for putting this together!

[@RoysGarage808]

[@artifactman660]

My blower runs good then starts slowing down , when I tap on the motor the speed picks back up. I've noticed also that the fan does make a odd sound on low speeds. Could it be the resistor ? I'm thinking motor because if you tap on the motor the speed goes back to high again. Thanks for any help. And thanks for the awesome videos

[@RoysGarage808]

Thanks for your patience. I would say it’s the motor and to change it out. If I’m not mistaken, I believe the resistor is in the motor for this model. Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@NacoTj]

Did this fix the problem?

[@AlexThorn]

Thank you!

[@randyschiffer3265]

I'm on a tight budget can I use an aftermaket blower on this? Have you heard of any problems using them?

Hello Roy I have a 2014 Toyota Corolla that the AC temperature nobe is locked. & since it’s locked on Cold the ac doesn’t blow cold. All hot .When taking out the air & cabin filter it barely rotates but then locks again.

[@RoysGarage808]

Sorry for the late response, been a little busy lately. I don’t believe I’m fully understanding your question. Are you talking about the AC blower motor not rotating? If you’re talking about the AC blower motor not rotating, first you have to make sure you have power going to the blower motor. If you do have power and it’s not working then you have to replace the AC blower motor. As for your temperature knob being stuck, I would suggest removing the knob and making sure the shaft turns properly. If it does then you’ll just have to replace the knob, the knob is made of plastic so it can easily break. If the shaft doesn’t turn, then that’s what you’ll have to replace. If all that is working probably, the first thing you’ll do is check to see if you are low on Freon. If you are low on Freon, top it off and check for leaks. If the Freon levels are normal, check to see if you AC compressor clutch is activated. Those are the most common issues to check first. Let me know how it goes and if you have any other questions, I’ll try to answer them the best I can. Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@crow33215]

is this the same for a 2014-2016 corolla?

[@htxdev]

hopefully, my 2015 went out too 😂

[@RoysGarage808]

I believe the 2017 is a little different but I believe it the same general concept. If you come across any issues, let me know and I’ll try to help/guide how the best I can. Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Hey Roy, I have a 2020 Corolla; are steps essentially the same?

[@kilmacabea]

Removed it. A bit easier than depicted here because white plugs are not attached to blower.

[@RoysGarage808]

It’s usually essentially the same process, but I haven’t done this job on a 2020 so that’s good to know! Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@ateyotaco6799]

Hey Roy I have the same car. I don’t have any problems with the ac. But the cooling system fan sound loud pretty much everytime the car is running n the fan kicks in. It didn’t had this problem when I got it with 0 miles any help would be appreciated.

[@BoyElric]

Hey pal! This is going to be my second time replacing my AC blower. Do u know if this is a common thing to happen in this year of corollas?

[@RoysGarage808]

It’s actually not a common problem, 2017 is still young yet. Could it possibly be a fault part? Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@martinvaldez97]

I took out the old motor and replaced it the new one just as instructed in your video, everything works but when I turn my AC/Heater on, it sounds like the fan is rubbing against something as it’s spinning, did I do something wrong? Is there someone I can call or contact for help? I have the same model/year Toyota in the video, thank you!

[@RoysGarage808]

First try pull it out again and make sure there's nothing inside the compartment, I've seen a few that's had a leaves or a plastic bag stuck inside so make sure there's nothing stuck inside. Next thing I would do is return the blower motor for a replacement, it could be a defective part. Let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching, aloha!

[@MUHAMMADKHAN-pe7ez]

heater blower motor and ac blower motor are the same??/ if same, why not just the blower motor??/

[@tomasadi4428]

Very good video 👍

[@NacoTj]

My ac blows weak and when i drive over bump it blows hard then back to weak after a while its never consistent could this be the problem?

[@kilmacabea]

I should add that blower needs to be removed, cleaned and disinfected because a mouse/chipmunk got in there with acorns and mucked it up. Any suggestions regarding what to do to keep rodents out of the engine compartment would be appreciated.

[@RoysGarage808]

I didn’t even know rodents could get back there! I do know a lot of the rubbish that gets in there is usually from the glove compartment. Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

I'm having trouble "pushing the clips in" to take out those two white plugs

[@FredTheLutinoCocatiel]

That's really a nice location but that's awful early for a blower motor to go bad.

[@RoysGarage808]

It definitely is a convenient spot and it is awfully early for the AC blower motor to go bad. Unfortunately, sometimes it just happens with car parts. Thanks for always watching and supporting 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@cw7746]

Can I access my coil from there? I need to remove this vinegar smell coming from the a.c. I tried spraying the chemical foam through the drain tube and it didn't work. Last resort is removing the blower and trying to access the coil from there with an extension hose

[@RoysGarage808]

Unfortunately without having the car in front of me I can’t say 100% on it but I would first suggest removing the cabin air filter and have the car and AC running, and spray some disinfectant (they do sell specified disinfectant for this) to try and get rid of the smell. Hope that helps and Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@PeacefulMoments100]

I can’t find the resistor... please help?!

That little phillips screw is a nightmare

[@ILoveWeapons]

Hey not trying to be rude or anything but at the beginning of the vid you said it was an 8mm socket, then when you went to actually undo the 3 bolts you said it was a 5/16 socket. Which one was it?

[@RoysGarage808]

My bad, I didn’t I realized I was interchanging it, thanks for catching that! 5/16in is only tiny increments off from 8mm, so in this case 5/16in socket is the same as 8mm socket. Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@ILoveWeapons]

@@RoysGarage808 Great news! Your video helped me replace my blower motor with relative ease.....bad news is, the problem was not the blower motor. I had replaced the cabin filter about 2 months ago, so that only leaves the blower motor resistor. Is the resistor in the same place as the blower motor and if so can you kinda pinpoint me as to where

[@RoysGarage808]

@@ILoveWeapons i don’t have the car in front of me to look but if I’m not mistaken the resistor for this model is on the blower motor. It’s possible you got a faulty motor, I would definitely try to switch it out again. Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
