Of course this could be similar on many other vehicles as well. If your car AC blower motor is not working, we'll show you how to replace your ac blower motor when you have an ac blower motor not working.
When your car AC blower motor fan wheel breaks, your blower motor won't work, which usually results in a loud bouncing grinding noise, because the motor fan wheel has separated from its hub and the spindle is just pinning in place, causing the plastic wheel to just bounce around inside the housing.
Replacing air blower for car
The car blower motor repair is simple, usually involves just removing the dash kick panel from the passenger side, exposing the car AC blower motor assembly. Then typically 3 hex head/T25 Torx head screws hold the motor into place. Just undo those 3 bolts and screw in the new blower and reconnect the power cable to it and you are good to go with your AC blower motor car repair! No more blower motor noise.

You might want to fix it very soon, we don't know if parts will be available, or is businesses will be open with this Caronavirus shelter in place going on.

Is it possible to change bearings of blower motor ?

[@goaheadskinit]

Thank you sir. Very helpful video.

Most welcome

[@GUILLERMOJGARZON]

Hey man thanks for the video. My 1994 Lexus ES 300 yesterday made weird noises and later only works with the hi speed. I know thanks to you what’s wrong. Thanks so much.

Glad it helped

Hi, I have helped a friend replace his car's blower motor...the original blower fan blade has a clip on it. But the new blower motor blade does not have a clip on it. Would I need to remove the clip and put it on the new blower fan blade?

[@zavalafrancisco23]

My motor burn out. I noticed it every time I turn on the heater. I could hear this noise like a spinning motor going bad the passengers side where the cabin filter is at. So now vehicle doesn’t blow cold or hot air :( well got work to do this weekend! I am excited to change this for the first time!

[@carbuying]

Awesome, let us know how it works out for you!

[@camwilton9244]

Can you tell me the best way to clean the area above the filter? I had a mouse nest there and I can see lots of debris that needs to be removed and cleaned. It’s very hard to access. I can send you pics of that helps.

[@carbuying]

Depending on where the filter is, there are crevice tools you can try feed up there to vacuum it out, or if you can pull out an AC vent to feed the hose down to the are, that would be another thing to try.

[@Phil-D83]

First line aftermarket parts are fine. Got one for 91$ cdn for an rx350 after my buddy's shop discount. Similar setup. Had to use a zip tie as the aftermarket one had the power clip on a wire vs built into the housing.

[@carbuying]

Thanks for sharing

[@emmanuelcahigas9269]

Hi can you share where you ordered your part online? I'm assuming it still works after 3 years. Thanks

[@BadDoctors]

Where did you obtain the blower fan? All I can find is motor/fan assemblies, but all I need is the fan cage.

[@NelsonWife21]

Hi I have a lexus 2007 gs450h my blower is for a left hand drive... My car is a rhd. Does it make a difference.. Cause when my husband put it in.. Not much air was coming out.. But we could've felt the cool breeze. Do we need a right hand ac blower or do We keep with the left? Thank you.

[@carbuying]

Not sure on this, in the end you should replace it with the part that was there before, was your new part the same as the old part?

[@viGAMETIMEiv]

Hi very late here but I have a 2011 Dodge Caliber and heat works very well however the AC doesn’t blow cold air AT ALL but does blow hot air. I took it to go get looked at and was told that everything regarding my AC was working EXCEPT that my AC blower fan wasn’t spinning or working. They didn’t know whether it was a fuse or the blower fan needed to be replaced. I haven’t checked it myself yet but will do so in the morning but If I replace this blower motor fan as you showed, do you think it would fix the issue and I would have cold air again?

[@carbuying]

I always thought there was one blower fan for heat and AC. Did you get it resolved?

[@user-jc5er4it1m]

Thank you very much, seems my Lexus rx 350 has problem like that. The noise comes from there. Will try to find out what position is.

[@carbuying]

Most likely that is your problem

[@TheLANDSQUID]

The link you listed shows a black fan but seems similar. Is that the one for the GX470?

[@carbuying]

You never know whether you are getting a black one or white one, not sure why they do it it's the same fan.

[@candyhearts3581]

I have a question that heat is turned all the way up and I hear a noise coming from it does that mean it's just the fan or the motor is blown

[@carbuying]

It is likely the fan, but does it also do the same thing cranked all the way up in AC Mode? If not, could be something else, because the fan is the same fan in both modes.

[@DocHolliday3841]

Dp you know of any aftermarket companies that make high powered blower motors? Or maybe do you know if the Japanese just make stronger blower motors? The one in my Dodge Ram is incredibly weak and it's brand new

[@carbuying]

Doc, unlikely the is your blower motor, they usually make those motors to blow pretty good and strong. When was the last time you changed your cabin air filter? That can slow down air flow. Are you sure the controls are opening the diverter correctly? That could impede airflow as well. Or maybe your fax is just ready to go and a new Ram motor will work fine.

[@curtisl0we]

Pull your blower motor and look up and see if your blend door is sitting up there broken.

[@Krisssy808]

I have a Lexus ES 350 2008. If my blower works intermittently and can often be started by giving the dashboard a hard hit just above the vents or under the glove box, or sometimes it won’t start with the hit but will start the next day. Could it just be a matter of lubricating the blower? I mean this is 2019 so my car purchased 2007 is now 12 years old.

[@carbuying]

With the age of the blower it could just be the start of going downhill further. You might check the wiring harness connection first to see if it is loose, but if it checks out, probably needs a new blower.

[@Krisssy808]

Thank you for your reply and help :)

[@kellyamandaobryan]

I am looking for a blower motor with the balancing weights and no one seems to know what I am talking about. Where did you buy yours

[@carbuying]

This was the model blower we bought, hopefully they still have weights: 🛒 VDO PM9188 AC Blower Motor: amzn.to/3e2HzVk

[@Pulverrized]

for my 2015 Lexus rc f my ac/heater works its a just the dash vents don't blow any air the bottom feet vents do. Do you think it could be due to the motor? (mine doesn't make any weird noises) if not could it be a fuse? Edit: I think it might be the Solenoid...

[@carbuying]

Do you hear the blower spinning or trying to spin?

[@Pulverrized]

@@carbuying yes you can hear it spin but nothing unusual

[@jeffostroff]

@@Pulverrized If you hear it trying to spin but yet you can't feel any forced year coming out from anywhere, than likely the blower cage has come separated off of the motor spindle as we showed in this video in which case you would replace it. Now if you do find that the air is blowing somewhere then we have also heard in the past about the baffle door that's inside the dash area somewhere that controls where all the air flows so if that door becomes stuck closed or open or in the wrong direction then it won't Allow any of the force to air coming out of the blower to channel to the correct Vince, and so it would trick you into thinking there something wrong with the blower when in fact it's the baffle door.

[@jaej214]

Sooo my ac doesnt turn on unless I give that blower motor a little slap (I took off the whole compartment lol) It also makes that noise once the AC is on. I need to replace it huh?

[@carbuying]

Probably the motor itself, maybe the windings. Sounds like a candidate for replacement

[@jaej214]

@@carbuying yeah because it doesnt have that broken spindle I checked but I also checked if it may have anything stuck inside but it's clean so I'm gonna replace it and see if it turns on without the old slap and if its quiet . Thank you for your video because I didn't have the motivation to do it myself until I saw yours. Great and very detailed video keep it up man!

[@phillyfanist]

Is it safe to assume that the same blower for the ac is also the one for the heater?

[@carbuying]

yes same blower

[@Really01234]

I would presume that it is the same blower for the heat as well? I heard a noise for a bit, but now I get absolutely no air movement now...

[@Really01234]

Also, where did you get that part? I can't seem to find it with the balance clips included. Thanks!

[@carbuying]

Yes, same blower for both, this was purchased from Autozone

[@RossCrain]

My car has cold air, but it isn't putting out volume. Is this a sign that it's the blower?

[@carbuying]

It could be the blower, although usually when it goes there is some rattling noise, because the center part of it is stripped, preventing the blower from moving. Also check the cabin air filter. If you have computer controlled climate in your car, you might need a technician to check it out.

[@pieroachique3202]

Lovely Video! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Parlandealey Vanish Ringworm Process (search on google)? It is a good exclusive guide for revealing how to repair your vehicle minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my m8 got excellent success with it.

@@pieroachique3202 Heya thanks, sold the car. But I would check out in the future. Thanks!

[@recurringintensity]

This broke on my wife's Lexus ES350 (i believe, haven't checked yet, but it sounds like a card in a bicycle wheel) right after a terrible odor came from that area. Is that associated with this? smells like burnt mildew..

[@carbuying]

Yes, that would be the problem. If you smell mildew see if your cabin filter needs to be changed also

[@recurringintensity]

@@carbuying changed the filter today. I hadn't thought about it at the time, but she had the windows down and when she went to roll them up the neighbors cat jumped out of the car. wouldn't be surprised if it chased a mouse into the car & that's what broke the blower when she cut it on. cause it smells like something dead in there. I'll find out tomorrow 😉 thx for the video 👍

[@RPGSurge]

Would it work on a Lexus c200h

[@carbuying]

This should work on the Lexus C200h, just make sure the blower you order is for your model car.

[@RPGSurge]

Thanks

[@jewelexodus6450]

So I called a repair shop to see how much it would cost for them to do the same replacement and the guy said it has to go to the dealership because they would be able to reprogram it 🤔 so I wasn't expecting to hear that seeing as I really wanted to do it myself. Does a 2002 lexus rx300 need reprograming in order to replace the ac blower motor? I'll ask Google as well lbvs,.

[@carbuying]

Don't see what they would need to reprogram
