How To Replace Blower Motor & Resistor 2006-2016 Impala Limited - Troubleshooting & Tips

[@mauiwaui3947]

You are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you sir. Seriously the way you explain n show each step in your videos should be a standard for any diy or how to videos. Keep doing what you’re doing my friend 💪🏽💪🏽

[@HowSkills]

Thank you for the kind words…glad to help.

[@mauiwaui3947]

@@HowSkills no problem and thank you too

[@tisjen1979]

Thank you, thank you, thank you !!! This was the cleanest and clearest video ever! I was able to follow this video to the T! I was able to get it down in 45 mins with your help. Thank you again!

[@HowSkills]

Awesome! Glad to hear it helped. Always glad to help someone do it themselves and save some money.

[@tisjen1979]

@HowSkills yes, last time I got this done. It cost me $500 dollars 🤬🤬😭😭😭. You saved me some serious money. Thanks

[@aexndne]

I’m so excited today because I followed this video and boom I did it all myself! I’ve never done anything like this before or even held a ratchet lol thank you so much! I am a strong independent woman! ❤

[@HowSkills]

You are amazing! I am so happy that the video helped you.

[@TxnnerP]

To the creator of this vehicle thank you very much. I had to do everything in this video for it to work. I tried replacing just blower motor but ended up the resistor was bad to. I found resistor for $20 on Amazon and blower motor for $40 on Amazon.

[@fknkuzco1261]

You literally saved me $181 dollars thank you

[@HowSkills]

Glad to hear it helped! I’m always happy to help somebody save money on car repairs.

[@mistybenjamin9009]

I am glad I found this video. I have a new blower fan, but it stopped working already, so I need to check the fuses and resistor. And now I know what to check and how.

[@HowSkills]

It’s a bummer when things break so quickly, but hopefully you can fix it without too much trouble!

[@craigbucl7752]

I wish all “DYI” videos were as good as yours. Thanks!

[@HowSkills]

Thank you, and I hope what I’m doing is helping some people.

[@craigbucl7752]

Stan, I’ve checked out everything according to your video. I’m not getting power to the resistor. Others have worked on it before me. fuses check out but the two relays that look the same are in backwards from what your video shows. Digits on the opposite end. Can’t imagine that being the issue. Any ideas?

[@BrianBurke-v4b]

Great video. I was going to pay someone to replace mine but you described it perfectly so I will do it myself.

[@JefferySmoot]

Excellent, thank you for the straightforward explanation, you are saving people a TON of money, including me.

[@HowSkills]

I am always glad to hear the video saved you some money! I know doing this myself three times now has saved me a lot of money...garages usually way overcharge for this repair.

[@danielrodas9942]

Mr. Cravens...you just helped me a ton Sir. Thank you, and Happy Holidays. (2011 LTZ)

[@HowSkills]

Glad to help, and Happy Holidays to you too!

[@2ndamendment770]

Thanks A Lot Man ! Saved me a BUNCH of Time !!

[@rathergather2406]

Great video I'm getting ready to work on a 14 malibu with a intermittent blower .first thing I'm looking is the relay they can stick because they are mechanical.

[@HowSkills]

Best of luck. You’re probably right about the relay sticking.

[@RickardReelz]

Great video. Thank you very much. My son inherited his 09 from grandpa and I had him do most of this. Could NOT get a second screw started on the resistor so it's nice and tight with one! THanks again

[@bgcurses2337]

Thank you so much for this video. Just bought a 2011 Impala and have a little bit of minor work to do. This video helped me a shit ton 😂😂. Thank you Brutha.

[@HowSkills]

You are welcome, and I'm glad it helped. This is one of those jobs that can save you a bunch of money if you do it yourself, and I'm all about that. Enjoy the 2011!

[@UrbanDefensiveTactics]

Excellently done video.

[@HowSkills]

Thanks…I hope it helped!

[@missirritated4872]

Just what I needed thank you!

[@donnacish]

So proud of you honey !!!!

[@nickfalardeau9842]

Thanks bro u just saved me lot of money thank u

[@alpagano50]

Thank You this is mine, I broke the heads off of the plastic pins like you said and now I am trying to install the screws in. I may need to get longer screws self taps and put it in....

[@gen3ralzod159]

Mine works sometimes what could cause that? It will work then quit then just start working again.

[@ruffrider-pc9tt]

this is an excellent video.

[@haydaralbayati4888]

Thank you from iraq

[@HowSkills]

Hello over there! Thanks for taking the time to watch the video, and I hope all is well with you.

[@jaimemunoz9100]

Hi I replaced both resistor and fan motor but the controller won’t work, check all fuses I checked power and has power but not working!

[@coltonjaques5806]

Same lol let me know when u figure it out

[@brycebench2369]

Check the switch on the dash

[@mufasa473]

Yall figure it out?

[@epoxysidejobs]

Ever figure it out?

[@naquainsmallwood4902]

It's the wires to the resistor

[@kamelhussein9358]

Thanks bro , ❤❤

[@HowSkills]

No problem, and I hope it helped.

[@user-do2yj5rr2k]

Thank you sir

[@HowSkills]

You’re welcome, and thanks for watching. I hope the video helped you.

[@user-do2yj5rr2k]

@@HowSkills it absolutely did. I'm gonna install mine tomorrow! Thank you!

[@CarlosVasquez_97]

Because it vibrates a little on the side of the blower, I put a new one on but it shakes a little.

[@jonathanbeasley8259]

What if my trunk doesn’t work either? Could it be the black fuse?

[@slydwaysdrifter2159]

For those plastic rivets on the resister, I decided to use a Dremel tool with a burr bit. Just grind off the top of the rivet and then breaking things would be less of a risk. My issue is that our Impala had the blower on constantly with the key out of the ignition. It would never shut off. After a resistor change it now “works” and shuts off correctly, but now there’s only low speed, and the fan adjustment knob doesn’t change speeds. 🤬

[@Timmy369]

Did that work?

[@HowSkills]

Yes it did! And didn’t have any problems with it afterwards. Saved some money in the process!

[@ingoodspirits22]

Thank you!!!

[@Dpm87]

Hey Stan! So my air stopped working couple days ago…replaced some antifreeze in reservoir and drove for a bit. Now the fan seems to randomly kick on and off (when on the heat still works great!) any idea if you think it’s maybe a fuse? Or the fan resistor? I know the fan and temperature are still working fine when they kick on, but GETTING it to kick on in first place seems to be the problem?

[@yenzf968]

ever find out what the problem was ? i seem to be having a similar issue

[@JulietteXforever]

Also having a similar issue

[@tanyaalbritton4826]

What about if the fan stays running when the car is off.

[@jacobclark89]

I thought those relays were for the engine cooling fans ?

[@technomage6736]

Yeah I think so. The fuse that controls the blower motor should actually be the BAT4 fuse. 30 amp

[@mikerootz5935]

Need 7/32" or 5.5mm socket. Flat blade screwdriver. Maybe need 1/4" socket. Thx!

[@keneg48]

My engine fan makes alot of noise to think the blower making it work harder

[@curtiscarey580]

The problem i’m having the blower still running after I turn the control-off

[@HowSkills]

There’s probably a problem with the resistor in that case.

[@curtiscarey580]

I replaced the resistor today, but still having the same problem

[@GmaGpaAdventures]

@@curtiscarey580Hmmm…maybe a switch problem then. Strange.

[@IVdarealonly]

When I turn on my 2008 I'm getting a clicking noise from behind the vent

[@fr33dumb0]

It's the actuator

[@jadentrestrail5398]

my AC works fine, but my heat doesn't not sure what's wrong

[@lawrencemclaren7099]

look for a video on Blend door actuators. There's usually 3 on a Impala and switchs it from cold to hot air

[@QuilaMae-i4y]

Everything used to work until I changed relay

[@TxnnerP]

To the creator of this vehicle thank you very much. I had to do everything in this video for it to work. I tried replacing just blower motor but ended up the resistor was bad to. I found resistor for $20 on Amazon and blower motor for $40 on Amazon.

[@HowSkills]

I was hoping to get by with just replacing the motor and not the resistor, but it wasn't meant to be! But at least I got it fixed and got everything working again like it should. And I saved money doing it myself. Glad you were able to get your parts for a reasonable price. Amazon's great!
