How to Replace The Blower Motor on a 2011 Ford Fiesta.

Here is a step by step tutorial on replacing the the blower motor on the 2011 ford Fiesta. Being in Arizona, I go through fans more than I go through underwear, and I'm not joking!!! I keep my underwear for about 12 years!!

Thanks for providing the written procedure this really helped being a first-time blower motor changer. Everything worked as your procedure described and I did not need to touch the airbag. Only comments are I found it easier to disconnect the 3 plastic fasteners before removing the bolts (to make it easier to remove the bolts) and I didn't have a 13mm ratcheting wrench however I was able to remove this nut with an 1/8" drive deep 13mm socket and small ratchet.

how do i take off the top nut on the brake braket? is the more difficult one thank you.

Great video! I will add this for anyone else watching this video: #1 remove the driver seat. It will make things a whole lot easier. #2 remove the airbag under the steering wheel. Make sure to disconnect the battery for at least 10 minutes before doing that. It will also save you a lot of effort and time. #3 be careful not to turn your steering wheel after you've disconnected the shaft. If you turn it too many times in either direction, you will damage your clock spring. I give this advice from my own personal experience.

Great video I'm working on mine now just wanted to see the motor actually come out I got everything else off then it got dark going to take the fan out tomorrow and put everything back together. I did remove the airbag module it was easy to do and was able to get the top bolt for the break pedal bracket off with a long extension and rachet I also was able to leave the break pedal on the bracket. Good video all the other ones take to much apart 👍👍👍

Are you really eating during the last clip lmao??? About 10:50?.. I know people have to eat but it really wasn't nice to listen to lol

I can’t remember. It does sound weird

I followed all the steps, and my blower is functioning again. But I notice my brake lights will not turn off when I lockup my car. Do you know why

[@stacydenboer7245]

Maybe the petal isn’t making perfect contact with electric switches

[@Mark0003260]

Did you remove the airbag? Other videos show the airbag being removed. If you don't need to that saves a lot of time.

[@stacydenboer7245]

No. I never had to touch the air bags. Just the peddle assembly and the lower connection to the steering shaft.

Can I ask the reason for changing it. I've got a 2013 and when the blower is on level 3 I'm getting a whirring/whistling noise. When the heater is off I also get a whirring noise coming from behind the dash/steering wheel so I'm thinking it could be the blower motor that has a issue was this the same for you?

[@stacydenboer7245]

It was completely out. The motor would not spin at all. A whirring noise may be the motor or possibly a blockage somewhere in the air flow. Does it happen only on recirculation? Maybe you need new cabin air filters.

[@spacedudespacedude]

If the motor blows good it should not make any noise if it's off probably something else
