Replacing Blower Motor and Blower Motor Resistor | 88-98 Chevy/GM Truck

Replacing the blower motor and blower motor resistor in my 1995 chevy k1500. Wasn't too difficult to do. The resistor was the hardest part because its such a small space to work in. I say "um" and "uh" about 100 times, so ignore that if possible.

88,89,90,91, possibly more years, blower motor is prevented from coming out by lower edge of dashboard. You mention that.

[@rtbullard1]

I got mad and ripped my blower motor out. It didn't break the dashboard

[@ricardogonzalez3032]

My issue was solved I had loose connection on my harness under ECM

Nice video. Helped me alot

[@johannlangner289]

Thanks for the video. My chevy 1990 model had a blower motor bearing gone bad and after I put the new blower motor in, it only ran on high.... btw, would that hurt anything running it with a messed up resistor?

[@black91silverado82]

I dont think it will hurt anything. It's just making the blower motor run on high only. The resistor is just there for your other speeds

[@johannlangner289]

@@black91silverado82 thanks, I'll save that money for later, I keep the A/C on high this time of the year anyways

[@AllAmericanGuyExpert]

It hurts the driver who has to listen to the fan and feel too much cold air.

[@kopykat6843]

the two connectors on the blower motor, do you know what the white one is called? I need to replace it but every time I try to find it I only get the black connector.

7/32 for the blower screws

[@shirleyallen5178]

My blower motor went out. Gonna replace it. Should I change the resistor as well while I'm in there?

[@black91silverado82]

It's not really necessary to change it unless it's causing an issue. It is a cheap part though and easy to change so you could change it out for peace of mind

@@black91silverado82 what about I switch my blower but it’s still didn’t work it came on one time for a few seconds and cut back off

[@yayyay7076]

What the fix for a blower motor that will not turn off even when the key is out of the ignition

[@black91silverado82]

Could be a bad switch or relay causing it. I'm not too sure as I haven't had that problem before

[@yayyay7076]

@@black91silverado82 thanks will try both

[@s1lkysl1m83]

There is constant power to the blower motor resistor. You have s problem where the switch or blower motor resistor is bad

[@LeonardoRodriguez-fl6hn]

Why do you have that vent propped up with that stick?!

[@black91silverado82]

The actuator is stripped out and it's for the recirculation door. So I just used something to keep it closed so it's always recirculating the cab air lol

[@invertedsavage3978]

theres atleast 2 bolts (2 i could actually see but it felt like more i couldnt see) holding the cover on that are fucking impossible to get at i got one off after about an hour then got pissed off and just ripped/cut my cover off its currently in the garbage at the shop lol

[@mhrfarms]

cover is difficult to remove on a 98 chev 2500..how ?

[@black91silverado82]

Do you mean the insulation cover for the blower motor? I couldn't see an easy way to take it off so I just cut it off

[@mhrfarms]

@@black91silverado82 I ended pulling it off but there’s no way to put it back on without a lot work

[@black91silverado82]

@@mhrfarms yeah I didnt want to waste too much time in figuring out the correct way of doing it. On my other truck it never had it and I never noticed an issue. Might make it to where you can hear the blower motor a little more but that's probably it

[@ie8443]

There's no room in mine to get the new resistor in without mangling it, you skipped over the hard part

[@black91silverado82]

I showed getting to the resistor, but did not show actually removing it. It is difficult to remove, but with a 1/4 inch ratchet and shallow socket it is doable. I have large hands and was able to get to it without too much fuss. If I had a spot to setup my phone to record better, or if I had another person recording then I would of shown actually removing it. Sorry for skipping that

[@SimonTekConley]

The parts I actually wanted to see, you didn't film.

[@black91silverado82]

What was the part you wanted to see?

[@SimonTekConley]

@@black91silverado82 which directions to get it past the bad opening. I used the 1aa auto video to figure it out.

[@Evomenny]

I had a question my ac and heater not working at all so that should be the blower motor ?

[@black91silverado82]

If its not blowing any air at all then it could be a few things. The fan speed control could be bad. The blower motor could be bad The blower motor resistor could be bad Or you could have a blown fuse/relay. I would start with the simple and cheapest thing which would be the fuse/relay. Then probably work your way to the blower motor. You can test the connection at the blower motor to see if its getting power too. If it is, the. The motor is bad.

[@sewingislife3770]

@@black91silverado82 hi, my ac/heat blower area makes a thumping noise after I shut off engine. I heard it could be a vacuum pump?? What do u think. Thanks

[@black91silverado82]

@Sewing is Life I've had mine do that on my 91 silverado and it was the blend door actuator that's around the blower motor area. I believe replacing it is difficult, so most people...me included...have just unplugged it. That actuator is usually the one for recirculating the air in the cab or allowing fresh air in.

Not the same for 88-98.

[@black91silverado82]

It was the same for my 91. And this video is on my 95 when they switched to the new dashes.

Not for 88
