Please help. I have a 2014 mustang and last week I tried to defrost windows on my way to work and turned the dial to high ,medium and low and nothing. I’ve just changed the resistor and have checked every single fuse and the wires going to the resistor and now I’m stuck. I’m not to sure what I should do next. Please if you or anyone please could give me a point in the right direction I’d be forever so great full. It’s gonna be getting very cold up here in Ohio with winter fast approaching. Thank you so kindly.. hopefully you can help...

@@MervsServiceSecrets so I was ready to remove the resistor, took apart the shield under the glove compartment and started removing the screws for the resistor, this whole time I had the setting to 5 which is Max and on AC, while fiddling with the wires to try and disconnect them, the AC kicked on strong, so I kept fiddling with the wires and found the second set of wires in the back with the clips that connect to the resistorwhere the cause, so I made sure it was clipped back in, put the shield back up and it stopped working, so I fiddled with the wires and adjusted them to where the AC stays on after putting the shield back on

Great video, as well as the resistor. Inspired me to try to change my own, and I did so with success. AC fan control stopped working, so I changed both resistor and motor. Worked great for a week. Then I noticed a slight seeping leak after going through a car wash in the foot well, not like a pouring, but definitely enough to wet the floor mat. Coming from under glove box, but above the foam padding covering the motor/resistor area. Now today, heard a buzz "surging" sound and fan completely out again. Any idea of if a leak could short out wires or something in that area? I'm trying to imagine where the leak could be coming from -- doesn't come in with rain, only a car wash. Thinking maybe the windshield cowl area or undercarriage seal? I'm going to swap out the motor and resistor a second time, and if it happens again, guess it's off to the mechanic. The leak seems to be the culprit though, to my layman's eyes. Thanks for the video again.
@MervsServiceSecrets
@MervsServiceSecrets 4 жыл бұрын
Noticing that leak is an important observation. Might help others as well. I would definitely check the cowl area. There are usually openings at the bottom which act as a drain. They get plugged with pollen, debris, little leaves, etc. When it rains perhaps they are providing enough drainage, but with the deluge of a car wash, perhaps they can't keep up. Worth doing a little research as to how to clean those out. Hope this helps. -Merv Himself

It's probably the Sirius satelite radio gasket on the roof. Water is getting in and running down your passenger side A-pillar shorting out the blower motor. Reseal it with some black RTV sealant. You may as well do the third brake light gasket too on the top back of the cab so that your cab corners don't rust out.

Question: I have a 2011 SS Camaro. Maybe 35k miles on it. When I turn the heater on the fan will start, seems faster than it should be for the lowest setting then it cuts off. I turn it off, sit a bit try again and it does the same thing and novother speeds will respond when turning the dial up. Do these things have a shit off on them if they pull too many amps? Could it be a relay for low speed thats stuck and only hihgh is working? Or could it be the resisitor and if you could, tell me which to try first. Ive checked the fuses but not the relaya yet. Thanka.

@MervsServiceSecrets 8 ай бұрын
Wow. I understand your frustration. In both of your scenarios (relay and resistor) it DOES seem odd that the problem seems to fix itself, then goes back to being broken again. Your relay theory sounds like the place to start in my humble opinion. I can't claim to be an expert on your Camaro, but as a general rule, I always begin the process by replacing the cheapest thing first then working my way up to the more costly items. Hope this helps.

I own a 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood. My a/c works for about 15 minutes and then the fan stops working even though the compressor is still on. I can slide the switch halfway between the bi-level position and the defrost position to get the fan to start again but, it goes to low speed after a while. It keeps the interior at about 74 degrees which is okay on a really hot day but, I would like to have it working again the way it was intended. Any suggestions? Could it be a blower resistor?

@MervsServiceSecrets Жыл бұрын
Since the problem is intermittent, I don't think it would be the resistor. If the resistor was bad the problem would not come and go. I think that slider switch is a likely suspect.

Look at the holes where the thing plugs into. If it's all gunked up it may not be useable. I have jimmied a little piece of sandpaper in & out to clean up ones that aren't too far gone. But I'm not kidding when I tell you it's a pain to splice in a new one because the wires never seem long enough and it's a tight space to work in under there. Be careful and make sure you disconnect your battery before monkeying around with your electric components. Good luck.

There should be a fuse diagram on the underside of your fuse box cover. If not, you might be able to find it on the internet

@@MervsServiceSecrets Thanks for replying, No there is no diagram and nothing in the drivers Manuel, they state in the Manuel that they don't print a fuse diagram because they change all the time, and I have looked on the internet ,and KZbin but they don't give specific Fuse locations , the number the fuses but don't tell you what the numbers are😀, Thanks anyway.

Sorry I was unable to help, but maybe this can point you in the right direction. (you might need to sign up though): bcrwiring.apposrl.it/diagram/scirocco-fuse-panel-diagram Also, maybe someone else out there has some answers. I believe your model year runs from 2008 to 2013 by the way.

My guess is you are having trouble with your blend door actuators. Google their location for your make and model of car. Depending on where they are mounted, it could be an easy replacement ... OR a real pain in the patoot.

I don't, but if you're just trying to get that glove box door removed, most of them just have to be pushed in at the sides in order to release the catch. A couple screws might also need to be removed depending on the vehicle. As always, do plenty of research before diving in to such a project and follow proper safety steps.

How do I bypass my fan blower resistor?
@MervsServiceSecrets
@MervsServiceSecrets 4 жыл бұрын
Well, in theory, when the resistor burns out, that's what is happening. Without the resistor, the circuit just always delivers "maximum juice"! So the fan is always on high. When resistance is introduced, that's what makes the fan blow slower. Kind of an oversimplification, but I hope this helps. -Merv

Best not to attempt it then. It's a real pain, even if you know what you're doing. However, If your resistor clips into a multipin connector, do a visual examination of the connector. Sometimes when the resistor blows, the connecting sockets melt or get debris in them. Spraying with a little electronics cleaner may help.
