Jeep TJ Blower Motor Replacement

[@ranchurdhimster4955]

Great video sir. Thanks for making a no nonsense video that others made 10 minutes long.

[@KyleSVT]

Thank you!

[@beand1948]

Exactly!!!

[@seadriftcharters0624]

Great video! Simple and easy to understand. One word of advice, always take the negative battery terminal off first so you don't short out when taking the positive terminal off. Again, great video!

@@christinalopez4480 Aw, don't feel bad, it's happened to all of us at one time or another. If anyone tells you it's never happened to them, either: 1. They have never been under the hood. or 2. They're lying.

Just so you know as it looks like this video was posted several years ago, that the information you provided in this video was n is still valuable today - Aug 2022; my skill level includes oil changes and that’s about it tho I changed the fan control panel n resister as I trouble shot this issue. That said, your directions that even included socket size made this repair easy enough for the likes of me. I’m guessing here in California this would have been a $1000 diagnostic, parts, n labor charge at some of the shops here. Thank you again, cheers

Great video. All your Jeep Wrangler videos have been spot on. In this case my heater blower quit working so I started off replacing the blower switch then the blower resistor and then finally the blower motor. Both the resistor and motor went bad and your videos literally had every step I needed to take!! I’ve followed your oil change video, your auto detailing videos using NYC Ammo, your swapping out the gear to fix the speedometer issue! Your videos have helped me enjoy my Jeep and fix on it! Thank you so much and please keep up the Jeep content!!

[@KyleSVT]

Great video, think I may have to do this on my TJ soon. Subscribed! P. S. I take the advantage of each time I have the battery out to clean the terminals on the posts and the cables.

Does the plus go back in the blower motor as far as the old on does I don’t think I have the plug in all the way lol

[@samuelsolispartida1897]

I need help my blower motor no working. my air motor does not work replace the panel and the resistance but it does not start and I already connected it directly to the current and it works

[@peteathans3230]

Great job ! Though that battery looks old & crusty 😝🤣🤙🏻

[@bobkat1959]

great vid! thanks!

[@MrRyanlipp1980]

How common is the issue with the resistor. I’m getting very very little air coming out of the vents so I’m going to do the fan first. But what is the information people need to know about the resistor?

[@letthereberight]

I just read that you should do the resistor and blower together save you the trouble!

[@GregoryAllen-j8d]

Thank you

[@LimitedEdition0619]

I would have liked to see you turn blower on to see. But all and all good video

[@cmsa1r]

Wow.. thank you..

[@tripleseven8361]

My blower, ('06 TJ Soprt) is getting up there in age...Still blowing, but it's somewhat noisy...I have a MOPAR OEM replacement, but I'm not sure whether I ought to wait...The only problem is some noise and you can't really hear it while driving...thoughts?

[@KyleSVT]

if you have a replacement I would swap it out and see if the noise goes away

[@tripleseven8361]

@@KyleSVT Seems logical enough… I’ll have to see whether the ‘06 replacement is easy is yours….

[@jigsah9415]

I need a lot of help please I just bought a new brake line but took the old one out a long time ago

[@jigsah9415]

Any way of knowing where the connection and how to properly put it back on

[@JarradShaw]

Hey hey. I know this was about 10 or so months ago when you replaced the resistor and motor. I wanted to know if this fixed your heat issue? Mine just went out here in Indianapolis. Turning my dial on the HVAC switch does nothing for the first three sections. It only blows cold air on the fourth Fan setting. Checked both A/C and heat and on the fourth and blows out both. I think(???) it is the resistor because I am getting both at the highest setting but I am very novice... What do you think? Also haven’t checked any fuses yet, but if it is blowing at the highest setting that should mean the fuse isn’t blown... or is the motors fan blowing cold and hot air. Lol, I’m confusing myself!

[@KyleSVT]

I would start with the hvac switches first like the fan speed and the type of blowing selector switch then go to the resistor

[@JarradShaw]

KyleSVT, ya know... I was afraid you’d say that. Easy replace, 70 bucks more to get. Ok. Thanks brother.

[@nadeemsheikh1183]

Mine has exact issue, it's an 02 and everything works on highest fan speed only. Was it the switch or did you have to do motor too?

[@JarradShaw]

There is a flat resistor that fit between the glove box and the bottom of the dash. It helps provide power to the switch. I replaced that and my different heat settings work. It pretty simple to replace except the plastic of the dash that holds the bottom of the glove box is exactly where the resistor is.

[@bxbomber24]

What is it with the jeeps and their blower motor/resistor issues. I have replaced the resistor 3-4 times and the motor 2X. Mine is a 2006 TJ, so even newer than yours (and both are accessed from inside, making it a bit of a pain).

[@joebezslu]

at least doing this work does not require moving the whole dash board. that is what was needed for a 1998 acura TL i had. 10 hours of labor was quoted by 2 mechanics so i just sold the car. all that just to get to a $50 fan.

[@eagleflownsouth7728]

Would you say the new motor was quieter/stronger than the old one?

[@KyleSVT]

Will get back to you on that when I get a new fan selector switch

[@eagleflownsouth7728]

Sweet thanks bro!

[@KyleSVT]

No problem brother!

[@gdavis8588]

I think my heater core has a vary small leak. With the blower motor out could you see the heater core at all?

[@KyleSVT]

you gotta pull the dash to replace the heater core

[@gdavis8588]

@@KyleSVT Unfortunately yes. I was just wanting to stick an inspection camera in there to check for antifreeze before I pulled the dash out.

[@KyleSVT]

do you have coolant leaking in the inteiror?

[@gdavis8588]

@@KyleSVT I can’t find any so far, inside or out. However, it’s really strong with the heater on.

[@KyleSVT]

if that's the case I would assume the heater core is bad and maybe its a very small leak

[@aaronwaldschmidt]

Wow, my blower motor is easily accessible right under the dash. Haven't figured out how to pull it out though (having a similar issue).

[@KyleSVT]

Don't think you can the bolts are on the back side

[@aaronwaldschmidt]

@@KyleSVT no, I mean it's in a different spot. (Mines a 2004) It's not up against the firewall at all. Supposedly it just unscrews from underneath the dash

@@aaronwaldschmidt ohh intersting

[@joebezslu]

the fact that the motor can be replaced fast either way is a huge score. this was a awesome engineering from jeep. guess they knew i would be driving a TJ in the year 2020. haha now if i could just stop my door handles from rusting

[@kentanch2601]

Yup It will just twist out and twist lock back in again

[@germaned.lealnino631]

I appreciate the video, but how you know it was the motor and not something else? Like the dial in the dashboard or a fuse?

[@KyleSVT]

Process of elimination

[@lukewilson4824]

Easy money

[@canofbeanss]

i tried to turn my air on today and nothing happened i checked my fuses they are not blown. Do you think its the blower motor and the resistor?

[@KyleSVT]

Could also be the fan speed switch as well as the hvac control switch too

[@natesevert1793]

Have a link to where you got this blower motor? Mine has been out for awhile just haven’t gotten around to it and the ones I have seen are pricey wondering if you found one for a better price.

What problems was yours having mine is having where I turn my AC full blast it runs for about a minute and a half and shuts off then I can turn it down to the next setting and it turns back on then I can turn it back on the highest setting and it shuts off about a minute and a half after running 1998 jeep wrangler when I leave it on the lower settings it stays on ??

[@KyleSVT]

Mine would only work on high or low. It turned out to be the switch that controls where the hvac comes out of like feet or face defrost etc.

[@brianbritton6555]

Mine's having the same problem and I replaced the resistor still having the same problem I talked to a mechanic of mine said it more than likely is the blower motor

[@benjaminarredondo3038]

When I start up my Jeep is has a noticeable but not super loud knocking/ ticking noise when I turn it on but after I let it warm up the noise level goes down to where it’s still noticeable but barely and when I press on gas to drive it makes the noise faster but it’s still faint, was just wondering if that was normal or not?

[@ianmontesinos1001]

Benjamin Arredondo same thing as mine. Idk what it could be

[@kurtblackwell6214]

AMC 6-cylinders are known for "lifter tick". Since the 4.0 is an evolution of those motors, it is susceptible to this as well. This is an oiling issue. Check the oil level first. If it is low, top it off. If that doesn't fix it, you may need to dig deeper to find out why oil isn't making it to the lifters/rockers. Could be clogged oil galley, clogged oil ports, etc. A good oiling system clean might cure this too. As a resident of Kenosha, I am very familiar with the AMC "lifter tick" :)

[@benjaminarredondo3038]

Kurt Blackwell my oil level indicator says it’s actually high
