How To Replace The Blower Motor On A Mercedes-Benz E350, E63 AMG, E500, & More (W211)

[@AlexHernandez-xh8ei]

W211 interior just stunning till this day

[@fcpeuro]

It has aged well Alex

[@gabeg962]

This guy gives clear and detailed instructions. I like the way he gives his helpful input on the work he's doing, which you can tell comes from his experience.

[@fcpeuro]

Thanks Gabe G, Kyle has a lot of experience working on these cars giving him a wealth of knowledge he had to learn the hard way at some point ^.^

[@jianliu7516]

Best video to help the car owners save money. My E500 needs to replace the blower motor soon because it make big noise when I turn on the AC. This video save me a lot of time , I will follow your video remove the motor clean up and Lub the motor first , if still noisy I will replace a new one.

[@fcpeuro]

Thanks for watching!

[@jimmurtha6733]

Great instructional video. I have a 2008 E 350 with a squeaky HVAC blower. Took it out, greased the bearings, put it back in. No squeaks. Work took a little longer as it was my first time but it was as shown in the video. Saved me over $600 for a dealer-replaced job.

[@mrmarshall191]

Kyle your the shit. Mercedes Benz Gurú. My w211 would not be what it is now, if it were not for your professionalism and knowledge on these vehicles. Much Love.

[@janantoni3604]

Very intelligent user friendly mechanic.Great teacher.Thanks for step by step video.

[@CrazyUncleChris]

What an absolute perfect video! You're a great teacher sir. And I love that Mercedes are so easy to work on; this same job on a Dodge Durango is a 6 hour job.

[@josephfili8003]

Yes an excellent video. Every thing was covered perfectly. My friend was quoted $2,000.00 to do this job! Now I can help him out.

[@fcpeuro]

Thank you for watching; you are a good friend Joseph!

[@htwnvera]

That’s ridiculous

[@joanneeaves8561]

Thank you for the video. I just replaced my blower. I paid about $175.00 for the parts and it took me about 20 minutes to complete the job. The video was perfect!!

[@fcpeuro]

Hopefully you were able to get the parts from us! Happy to help, and glad it was a quick and easy DIY for you Joanne!

[@Okie-Tom]

Very good video. Shows just how to do it. I wish you would do a video on how to completely bleed the brakes and SBC on a 2004 E500 with the SBC brakes! I need to replace all my fluid. Thanks, Tom

GREAT video! Me and my teenage son knocked this out in about 45 minutes. THANKS!

[@keytothegate68]

Thank you! Very good video and very helpful with details ! As I recall when I replaced the fan in my Dodge van years ago the hardest part was being upside down looking up to remove the screws. Get comfortable to prevent backaches. My fan in the W211 chirps in turns so it will be a soothing relief when I replace it.

[@cnfusd]

love these videos FCP! keep it up!

[@TigreBrian]

Kyle, excellent work Sir! Clearly explained, useful insights and tips, and expertly executed. A little more light, and maybe a few more close ups (even if it is just a photo with arrows) to illustrate the location of certain fasteners and items. But overall an excellent, useful video, and I did buy the heater assembly from FCP, due to your video. So, thank you to you and FCP for supporting the DIY'ers.

[@Ineversayanything]

Incredible video! Smart, thorough and to the point. Thank you!!

[@fcpeuro]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@awangabdrahman986]

Very relax n confident man… Good job n clear instructions.. Keep up brilliant teacher

[@MrYo69nas]

Very professional and without any annoying loud music. Thank you for the clear instruction and helpful tips. Where is the fuse for the blower motor? My climate control lights and all the buttons work but no cold or hot air comes out when you push the buttons, the windshield defroster does not work, no air but the rear defroster works when you push the button, by that I figured the buttons/control panel is good. So, does anyone have any idea what is going on?? Should I just change the blower? Or maybe is it a fuse to the blower? This happens after I jump start my battery. I'm thankful for any help🙏

[@ijjiops]

Mine literally just started making noise! Perfect timing

[@fcpeuro]

We could sense it Gagyourself, thats why we posted this video... Be sure to checkout the link to the kit in the description if you hadnt already, it has everything you need!

[@M3LKS]

If its just squeaking/chirping then just drop some oil/wd40 on the bearings, no need to replace the motor. I did that only once and haven't had any noise since (20k km and counting)

[@David-kk4dr]

Thank you for your demonstration. It helps me replace my own.

[@fcpeuro]

You are welcome! Glad you're finding it helpful!

Thank so much great video I really appreciate your videos keep them coming again great job

[@fcpeuro]

Thanks for the love, Wendell! More to come.

[@BennyTygohome]

Thank you. I thought i was going to have to pull steering wheel and dash just to access the blower motor so i kept putting this off. This should be easy by comparison. Great video. If my fan isn't always working (works about 50% of the time) is that likely just the regulator/resister? I may buy the kit anyways. Seems fair price

[@hectorboyar4321]

Love this video man!! Great and Imma save some money!!

[@Idlewanderer]

Great series on the W211. Thanks. Is it possible for you to create a video to flush the fluid in the SBC system? Mine needs doing. Thanks again from Australia.

[@fcpeuro]

Thanks for watching, Idlewanderer! Stay tuned as we have more W211 content coming!

[@jimmybauer1]

Hello there, I'm having some issues with this matters. Now, I don't know exactly what is not working if it's the blower motor or the resistors, something that I would need to check with the technician mechanic first. My question to you since you used FCP EURO parts, are they good quality parts for my e350 3010 mercedes and what price range am I'm looking at and if it's necessary to replace all parts even though if it's only one part with the problem, let's say the blower motor? I appreciate the response thank you.

[@vidsforsquids]

Excellent!! It would be awesome to know about W211 LED bulb replacements. Not necessarily replacing the whole bi-Xenons headlights, but more the front yellow parking lights and trunk area lights on E-wagons. Thanks again for the great info 👍🏼

Thanks for your videos.. they are educative .... How do I locate the crankshaft sensor on a W211, M272 engine .... What part is it located??

[@dandrrebuilds8912]

Is the w210 and the w211 essentially the same set up? I have a 96 and the mechanic said that the blower motor is bad. I never heard the bearings making any noise before it went out though

[@stuartapperley8960]

Hi Kylie Could you please advise if the MB E63 AMG w211 2007 AC Heater Blower Motor Fan Assembly J146 will fit and work in my W211 E200K 2007 Sedan. I am in Australia so its RHD I have sourced this part in Aust second hand and working. Love your vids and hope you can help me Cheerz Stuart😁

[@ED-nc2uv]

Thanks for the video, my AC is blowing on full but also is you take the ignition key out. Is this a resistor or a relay problem? Not being able to reduce the speed points at resistor failure, being stuck on all the time points at relay, any advice, tips or comments? thanks in advance

[@nag5458]

Good job! :) Will there be more repairs on this model? It would be nice to have something to help during the repair of my e500.

[@amirazmanpokpsdphajiabdulr6711]

I have a W211 2003 Model..whenever I switch on the aircond, theres nothing happening..not even air coming out. I open the hood and found that the aircond pipe freezes.

Please Advise? Thanks!

[@selaudinagolli4638]

With your help I just changed the module of the blower motor by myself for 10 euro, instead of replacing it all for maybe 100 euro. Thanks!

[@selaudinagolli4638]

forgot to mention AC wasn't working at all, not it works flawlessly xD

[@MrYo69nas]

Do you have any idea where the fuse is for the blower motor? Mine does not blow cold or hot air after a dead battery jump start. Thanks for your help.

[@allisonoteri1963]

Well changing the regulator increase the speed of the air coming out of the vents or is putting in a new motor good enough? I have the squeaking noise so I know the motor needs changing but would like to save money if I don’t have to change the regulator

[@robertballesteros1002]

[@pravinovosadjanin]

Nice took me 10 mins amazing they asked 150 eur to replace

[@stevenonyoutube]

Great instructions. The link for the kit seems like it no longer works, and I couldn't find the resistor part on the site.

[@Dillonyowell]

My w211 just stopped blowing out all together. Is it just the resistor or the blower motor or is it beat to just replace both.

[@ronmoret7420]

Hello would this apply the same for a 2007 E320 where the blower only works intermittently? Great video! Thanks

[@fcpeuro]

Hi, Ron. Yes this should be the same process!

[@mehmetdogu384]

i have engine light on even if i sorted out intake manifold control. before car was not accelerating. but once i put resistor on 2nd and 3rd points, everything was fine with good accelearation but engine light did not go. what do you think this might be? i appreciate your advice. thanks in advance..

[@ilhommuminov708]

Can you just install without a new resister if you change the blower engine part itself?

[@shawna7813]

I have an 06 and there's little to no air pressure coming from the vents unless I turn the blower lever to the max. Most of the air seems to come from the bottom of the car and not the vents on the dash regardless of adjustments. I'm wondering if it's the blower motor?

[@curiousottman]

I’ve had my w211 so long I’ve changed the blower motor twice. Would have been nice to have this video prior.

[@fcpeuro]

Wow, jaydee, did you buy your W211 new? Hopefully, this video will be useful for the next time you replace the blower motor!

[@curiousottman]

FCP Euro : almost new. I have an 07 e63 and have had it since 08. I stopped buying cheap Chinese blower motors a decade ago since you never know what you’re going to get! Next time mine fails I’ll order your kit.

[@petercampbell264]

My blower works fine, but when you put the car on defrost, nothing comes out at the windshield. Any ideas? Thanks

[@IKhanNot]

Hello. Would this procedure be the same on a 2012 C300 W204? The blower fan has started to chirp when the heat is on and the fan is set to lower speeds. I've changed out the cabin air filter before and it generally looks to be the same on mine as the E Class.

[@fcpeuro]

Since it is a different chassis, there are differences, however, it is a similar process on both vehicles.

[@nateward1007]

Is there any clear cut way to tell what needs to be replaced, the resistor, or the blower motor?

[@ATAMasterShake]

I have enjoyed the W211 videos. I could be wrong but looks like you might of forgotten to plug in the light before putting the upper foot trim piece back in.

I was wondering if someone can help me out, I bought the capacitor and blower motor from fcp and swapped it and it had been working perfect until about a week ago it takes the blower motor a little bit to “rev up” what do you think the issue could be?

[@fcpeuro]

Hi Caleb, you may want to check your wiring and ensure that is all proper, as well as make sure the cage on the blower is not binding up anywhere.

[@harborelectric4543]

How do you know if the blower motor is bad???... Say for instance, my ac isn't coming on, nor does the cooling fan come on...Cls 550 (219), 2008..., It runs hot, changed cooling temp sensor, ambient air temp sensor, checked relays, fuses.........

Hi Moshe, the GLK being an SUV would be different. However, it might be a similar process.

[@eturk1]

Why are there no carbon filters on the left?

[@tskichannel2302]

The under dash carbon filters were an option so many - perhaps most - US spec W211s and S211s don’t have them. The cabin filter is under the hood right next to the firewall. For models with the Aux battery, it is right over the Aux battery.

[@tskichannel2302]

Great video. Thanks. Also thanks for the great price on the kit you sell. The parts in your kit are the exact, OE, Behr parts ands big savings over those with the 3 pointed star. A few points in just having done this. 1) Yes, you could do this in 35 minutes, but you would have to be a lot more flexible than me to do it that fast. To get my old ass on the floor and craning my neck under the dash it is goes more slowly. If you are young and flexible like the presenter, then 35 minutes is quite accurate. But… 2) If you are doing your own car, you are going to care to clean out the 15+ years of dust and dirt accumulated under the kick panel. I took time to vacuum and wiper the surfaces under there. And, 3) you will probably find, like I did, that the old blower has spread greasy metal dust all over the bottom cover of the blower. I took time to wash it with soapy water and dry it. 4) To reach the back screws I used a flexible bit extension instead of a ratchet and handle and it worked fine. If using an electric driver set the torque to the lowest setting so you don’t strip the holes. I then go back and gently check them by hand and tighten slightly if needed. Thanks again FCP.

A while back, I had a mouse or something build a nest or whatever and it clogged up the blower with a bunch of debris. Made the fan noticeably loud. Mercedes cleaned it for free as part of an oil change, but said I'd have to pay the next time. Now the same thing is happening again. If anyone knows how I can clean the debris out simply, I'd appreciate it. I can remove the cabin filter on my own, but can't figure out how to access the blower. No KZbin video on it for my vehicle. 2018 GLA AMG 45. There is an airbag or 2 in that general area, so I'm concerned about messing around and causing damage.

[@john8451]

This guy is obviously selling new motors! 90% of blower motors will eventually start squeaking because the bearings are starting to dry out. If you are going to the trouble of taking it out, just put a little lubricating oil on the two bearings (after giving it a good clean, preferably with an airline) and the motor is good for another 100K miles!
