Great Video! Totally straight forward!!! Change the battery in the fire alarm 😀

[@joyofwrenching]

Right!

[@raysmith7542]

Incredible detailed video. Thank you! Fixed my problem easily with your help!

[@joyofwrenching]

so glad you found it helpful! thanks for the kind words.

Thanks man, you just saved me $400 in repair costs. My blower motor gave up, thanks to this video, I was able to buy a new one and put it in myself.

[@joyofwrenching]

Glad to be of service and good on you for taking the initiative to fix it yourself! Now go use that money for something more important!

Thank you. I am doing the work myself and I changed the cabin filter. It was aweful and I saw leaves and everything. So I know when I drop the fan motor I have some cleaning to do. But Miss Sophia is purrring like a kitten thank for these videos

hey i have a 2015 santafe it looks the same as this one and my ac only works on max speed i try to put it on speed 1,2,3 but there’s no air blowing. do you know what may cause this?

[@joyofwrenching]

the resistor down on the fan box is often the cause of this, sometimes the head unit/computer in the dash, but most likely just the resistor

[@shellygraham2194]

Our blower won't turn off! When we turn it off, it jumps back to high again. Do you have any idea what is making it do that?

[@joyofwrenching]

that's weird, but sounds like a short in the switch or resistor

[@kyrameier6044]

Thank you so much and god bless you also

[@joyofwrenching]

you're welcome

My mechanic changed my blower motor air stopped blowing but then it started smelling like burn & throwing white smoke thru the air vents i changed it at oreillys got another one and he changed it again and it still doing it again the smell is so strong and so much white smoke idk what it can be 😢

[@shaunbrown5162]

Mine did the same thing. I just replaced the blower motor and it’s not even blowing at all. But I had the motor burn out while I was on the highway.

Great video!

[@joyofwrenching]

Thanks!

[@HEC892]

I changed the air blower and the resistor and it still does not work idk what to do now

[@joyofwrenching]

make sure there is power being sent to the wires at the fan, if not, could be a dead fuse or even the ac controls in the dash sometimes.

[@HEC892]

@@joyofwrenching I’m going to check the fuses near the battery today because it does seem as if no power , I do not think it’s the AC controls because they still turn on the rear AC , and the blue lights still turn on

[@joyofwrenching]

Keep us posted what you find@@HEC892

[@HEC892]

@@joyofwrenching ok will do

[@magic1800]

I am having the same issue. I replaced the resistor and blower fan. something keeps making the 30amp fuse to pop. Going to check to see if there is a wiring issue or if the climate control assembly is bad? Any other thoughts?@@HEC892

[@catherinesparks3192]

Thank you! Do you have any videos showing how to check the resistors?

[@joyofwrenching]

no, not yet, thanks for the idea.

[@catherinesparks3192]

@joyofwrenching thank you for making these. I have to depend on myself for repairs, so videos like these are so incredibly helpful!!
