I've come to the conclusion that you don't make these videos for the rest of us. These are just therapy for you. I agree with your comments 100% though. The replacement should be just as good as the OEM but they never are.
Eric, absolutely the best ever. The whining, the bitchin', the moaning all things of beauty. This is humanity at it core. Even if I hated car repair videos I'd love this one. Tell those kids to get off of my lawn. Loved it.
SATAMAN Schmidt Lol thanks Dennis, My wife watched it and said "Did you even show them how to fix anything?"
Be yourself. You are a good down to earth mechanic making your way through this jungle of manufactured junk.
I love to hear you speak the truth about the after market parts like that. I've ran into it myself and it makes me swear through the rest of the job and usually half way through the next day, telling everyone about it. I would also like to let you know, that in the fields of plumbing and hvac they are experiencing the same thing, with the same results as you just experienced. Wasted time, modifications that shouldn't have been needed and also test the level of your creativity are usually the result. It's the way of manufacturing and until some big shot decides he can make more money by having everyone buy his parts because they are manufactured correctly, it isn't going to change. But keep ranting about it because were ok your side Eric. Thanks for the videos bud. Jpol.
Had the identical problem with my 03 Trailblazer. Your post made it easy to perform the fix myself. Saved me from being raped by the dealership. The AC-Delco part was $60 from Amazon. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!
Dude! You helped me SO MUCH!! I found myself in the same exact situation as you with the short wires. You're the only person who I have found that ran into this. I'm by no means a machanic, I just don't have any money and I have to do it myself. Thanks so much for making this video to help stupid poor people like me. You're the man!
silentjester2004 Good to hear I am not the only one who got the short wired resistor lol
I did this way before I found the video, bought caardone part and same situation I was frustrated, I also laughed the entire time as I knew the frustration you felt all the way through. Dang engineers. 🤣
Be kind to yourself there's nothing stupid about you considering the fact that you were smart enough to know to come here. Don't speak poverty over your life either and I say that with King love remember there is always someone out there who'd long to have what you have❤
Because if your video I fixed my trucks fan clutch on my 2004 Buick Rainer. Thanks for the information and how to diagnose the problem. Appreciate your knowledge and the videos. Have a great day!
Have watched a lot of your videos, definitely have learned a lot i didnt know. Thank your for your time. Just wanted to say the module may have fit if you used dremel on corner of mounting tab. The n flipped it. Kind of like installing aftermarket radio kit.Thats why they give multiple holes i think to cover there end. I Probably wouldn’t of thought of it either at the time of working on it. You are an awesome tech doing it the way it should be done. Ill feel your pain too. Keep on keeping on
You were cracking me up today. Had to run it back and show my wife!
Awesome Video! I nearly fell of my chair laughing at the Stick On Head Cushion "Beat Here To Submit New Design"!! I had to re-watch after I shared it. Keep On Keeping On you ain't alone when it comes to Test Connectors.
+Hawaiian F150 Lol thanks :)
I have always looked at inside crimped on ok! outside solder heat shrink. good job keeping the video!
Hi, I ordered part # ACDelco 15-81773 GM original equipment heating and air conditioning blower control module from Amazon.com. $56.82 plus shipping and sales tax, if any. After watching your very good video, I was aware of the possible issue with the blower motor lead being too short. This part number had more than adequate length to fit in the clip behind the blower motor housing and reach the motor connection. It was an easy install in a friend's 2004 Trailblazer. What a great job on the video, and I agree with your comments on the lack of support when a part does not fit. Although, I have to say, without challenges to overcome, how satisfying would life be. It should be right, though. Keep smiling and I'll check back on my next adventure.
Great videos with a talented mechanic; down to earth, great humor, family guy. I love this channel!
+Mike Cunningham Thanks Mike
Iii
I agree Mike he makes it fun and explains everything the way it should be explained..I am so sick of Scotty Kilmer's channel because his vids are only 3 mins long ...not sure how you understand everything in 3 mins?
@@SouthMainAuto u r always finding ways to entertain even do sometimes u r frustrated with the after market parts u get because they don't come the same or wires not long enough lol know up the great work Juan from San Jose calif
I wonder who the 78 idiots are that down voted this video. After watching this I now know which the correct part is for my vehicle and what all those extra wires are for. There is about 7 different versions of this thing depending on whether you have auto temp or manual.
Just today I replaced a window regulator (Dorman) and the new part worked about 12 times then the cables broke. Chevrolet wants almost $600 for there part so back to Dorman we go. I hate crap parts but I hate overly expensive parts more. Great video Eric. I've been enjoying all the diagnostics and repairs.
+wyattoneable DORMAN Part that went BAD!?!?! NOOOOOO..... hahah
+wyattoneable idk i have an 05 trailblazer and in 2008 the fuel pump sending unit went on it gas gauge always reading empty when full and periodic bogging i replaced with delco full unit lasted 9 months shit the bed with same problems got a dorman and here we are going into 2016 still working great and no problems touch and go ive had problems with name brand and aftermarket in the end theyre in it together make money on car parts lol
+wyattoneable Dorman isn't terrible. They make some good stuff.
Awesome video! This was EXACTLY the problem with my 2005. I kept searching for one that had a 3 pin socket. Ended up figuring it out that I could use one with a 5 pin socket with a 5 pin pigtail (supplied), duh only 2 pins hot plus small purple one needed, plus splicing, Anyway the dealer part wasn't even AC/DELCO, product of Mexico/Korea with GM approved gold stamps all over box. Thanks again
Was and still having issues with my blower motor but this video was great was busting a gut with all the comedy and feeling better about my issues. And by the way first time I took time to comment on any video.
Nice video. just replaced my module in my 06 TB. got two at a junkyard that were DOA. then found a acdelco part brand new on amazon for 55 bucks. worked a charm and the wires were long enough!!
I'd not waste my time on a junkyard electronic part unless I can test it BEFORE buying it! You spent more time taking the used part out than the new part cost you, and the new one had a warranty! Wise to go OEM on this!
@@user-cy6gf2pj7y for sure. Trailblazer is long gone now. Will only buy new resistors from now on. Lesson learned.
@@avenged06x I have a 2002 TB EXT and am looking for a decent reasonably priced second one. I love mine (and do consider the fact that it's 18 years old now), but GM doesn't have anything in their newer (post 2008) lineup that is as good as mine is! I don't want the suburban or tahoe, and everything else is uniCRAPbody...AKA unibody. UniCRAPbodies are for cars, and cars can't pull a trailer with plywood, so I have no use for cars!
I don't even work in the field, but I've always done all of my own repairs/maintenance and also for family and friends. I probably should have become a tech but i've always felt the best way to ruin a hobby, is to do it for 40 hrs every week. The only decent aftermarket is usually the OEM supplier, sometimes you can get lucky and get a truly improved part, but not often! My pet peeve is reboxing. Napa didn't make that part, so why the heck did they put it in a napa box? Carquest is actually even worse for this... I have yet to get a re boxed part I felt was OE quality, although they all "say" they are... I know you don't have time for such things Eric, but you should give rock auto a shot sometime when time allows. You can choose the grade and manufacturer, so once you figure out the ones that last you're ahead of the game. (well until the supplier cheaps out) . I know way up north here in canada even with shipping rates often doubling the part cost, it's usually still cheaper then going to my local parts store!
ive found the same thing here in ky
This video really helped me and I will be ordering the parts tomorrow and installing it myself.
I like your videos Eric. BTW i work for Napa and I understand your anger , the customer does not pay for the extra time it takes to install aftermarket parts.
I love the rant in this video. Bringing a mechanics world to everyone!
I feel your pain Mr. Eric O.!!! My advice to you is to adapt, improvise, and overcome!! And Sir, keep on pressing on!! :-)
You are so true aftermarket parts are the worst because they cost you're more in time and aggravation but good job I like when you wind a little you deserve it again great job
I got to do the exact same thing tomorrow with my 06 trailblazer the way I'm going to do it is the way I took it off too tight to unplug these wires while they're locked including blower motor unscrew the resistor let it dangle hopefully I still got the same length of wire for the new part that I'm getting wrap it around and then screw in the resistor very good videos though I love watching your program learned a lot on other stuff
thanks for video I replaced mine in just a few minutes and it works like a charm. Thankfully I did not have t0 splice mine
Probably because you bought the GM original part rather than the NAPA knock-off.
Loved the bang the head on the door, Darn near laughed to death, Best way to handle stuff like that for sure though..
Considering what you had to go through with that crap part, Sure did come out pretty clean looking, Nice repair..
pinsetternut That or walk away for a bit...
They saved 2¢ on the sort wire and 25¢ by not including the other connector.
Thanks for the heads up , on the NAPA part . So freaking tired of getting junk from all of them,maybe time to take a ride to the junk yard .
Hi Eric
I have just started watching your videos and have been enjoying them a lot.
With regards to this repair I actually think there might have been a easier fix for your problem.
It appeard to me in the video that as you mentioned turning the unit around would have given you enough length to complet the repair.
If you had trimmed the extra mounting holes off the resistor and only used the one hole you needed for the screwI think it would have fit.
This would have saved a lot of time but not made a great video.
Keep up the good work. and remember IF I can See it So Can You (LOL)
Excellent video. I fully sympathize with you. This kinda crap happens to me every day as well and it's very frustrating. The mindset where I work is to repair everything as cheaply as possible so sometimes the crap we get is even worse than the part you got. I always say that my hair didn't fall out, I pulled it out. I usually solder and shrink tube bout 99.9% of the time. It seems that every time I get lazy and use butt connectors it comes back to haunt me. Keep smiling {:-)
wysetech2000 Wait a minute did you say I'm lazy!? Haha
South Main Auto Repair MMmmm.....I was referring to myself but......HaHaHa.
I'm going to start making a list of Dr. Eric's quirky expressions. Today's "A few frenchfries short of a happy meal." that's greatness!
Chris Serio Lol my best friend Rob has a big list of my expressions too haha
really enjoyed hate you had problems but glad you share your troubles shows we aren't the only ones
Great vid...it's like haning out at your shop BS'ng with a friend. I learn something new every time. Thanks!
I find it useful to not cut the original harness so far back...lol keep up the good work.. I enjoy your vids
I love crimp connectors they have saved me from losing my mind when I remove crappy aftermarket stereos to find some clown has cut the wiring harness and left a mess of wires held together with tape.
Matt Bartholomew Lol no not the taped in radio haha
Because they were too stupid or too cheap to order a "matching harness"
love your videos and the humor you add to it .laughed my butt off !
Thanks for the help, I treid to change mine . Got new one at NAPA. Didn't work. I went to my fav shop McDonalds Auto Repair Hebron Ohio and it was the small black relay that is next to it on Chevy S10 2000. LOL the last shop that looked at it gave me a 2 hr estimate to look in the dash LOL.
WOW!!!...I was surprised that it actually worked. I was expecting it to not work. Would of loved to hear what you'd say if it didn't work or was missing a speed. Either way, glad it worked out but you know it'll be back sometime, Gotta love aftermarket parts! keep up the great videos, you da best!!
It’s not whining if it’s the truth. I certainly understand your frustration Eric.
oldgospelman here.... Don't subscribe to channels.... but ...you got me when you beat your head on the little piece of felt.... Love that you seem a regular guy who, like me, have to fight ever day with the ''why me'' syndrome. Unless it happens to you nobody believes it. HANG IN THERE...
Great vid. I appreciate the heads up on the NAPA part. I found the same part I needed for my 2005 Buick Rainier thru RockAuto.
Man o Man... you are a comic, I've told you this before, but the rubber head banging pad was the one that would've been your money maker on the comic circuit . I still think you should put in the bleachers for the public. You have the talent, you just need a manager.
I worked as a Ford tech briefly - now I do software development. We will get around to those bugs someday :).
I learned that Factory parts always save time. Time is money. Even though I drive older cars I try to get Motorcraft for electrical stuff and filters. My explorer has a similar blower resistor(well power transistor) that fails. I think it can only come from Ford.
I'm sure you know lots of NAPA stuff is repackaged Dorman, or sometimes Standard Auto Parts (which is BWD at Advance) and Standard supposedly has two grades of product, I think that reflects in the NAPA line too. That stuff is really hit and miss. Didn't have such great luck with aftermarket bosch 02 sensors either. I do think dorman makes a good aftermarket intake manifold, at least for the Ford 4.6L. It is made in the US, and I spoke with one of their product managers about it. They changed the design though recently, and you need a bit of RTV to seal it up right. Of course it was not in the included directions, so I had to redo it to fix a nice vac leak. The gasket had a nice dimple where the divot was. Installed many of them for myself, friends and family, no issues.
Napa does stand behind their products. Every year I exchange a parking brake cable for my explorer. The loop breaks off at the lever, I use it every day. They are happy to swap it. A few years ago they had bad alternators, I went thru 4 of them and they admitted there is an issue. This was their premium new NNE line Ended up getting one of their remans and no problems since. The new crap was made in China. Made in USA aftermarket don't mean anything as you know...problems is they design for as many models as possible and you end up with the mess you are dealing with. Don't feel bad though, even the Ford OEM replacement blower controller kit requires you to splice wires on some models. There are two kits, one with and one without a harness....but no fitment issues like that.
alb12345672 Oh yeah, ya basically summarized everything I have thought. I knew the relationship between BWD , Standard, NAPA and Dorman.. I have never had a problem with NAPA Standing by stuff when it fails, it is always warranty labor pay that I can never get. OE is hard for me to get same day, almost never happens.Usually a 1 day wait and if I had to get everything OE I would be days behind on every repair. As far as my own vehicle I only buy stuff from Honda.
I'm friends with the commercial guy at my local advance and he said many of the aftermarket parts are for older cars and meant to last maybe 1-4 years, likely the car is gone by then or the shop had a six month warranty and the lifetime part warranty is moot. Many shops won't even bother with it tell the customer, or the customer will just go somewhere else.
That balances out with the DIYers who may keep their car another 10 years....and some parts may actually last. So they do OK. Ford,Honda, etc warranty their parts 1 year, and I've never taken advantage of their warranty(Hmm..maybe once?). Unless their is some defect I have original parts on my Fords going on 20 years(some of my o2 sensors are that old and have a perfect waveform). Lifetime warranty means nothing.
Does advance pay labor? The guy here said it depends, but they do reimburse pros for a POS part.
Advance does pay labor claims up to 90 days and only $50 an hour on book time.
Awesome video. Where's my sma shirt? Lol. Its nice to watch someone else deal with part dilemmas for a change. Mine was with a radiator on a Suzuki vitara today.
Michael Herbert Hey at least it is something different each day right!?
dood brother O this was one of your best had me rollin and i loved the rant on them uppity engineers in our trade not wanting input from from some lowly MECHANIC out in a field to improve a service or product and i loved the blower diagnastysios
Eric this is by far the best rant video I've seen yet. Love your stuff, keep them coming. I may take a trip to visit your shop. Btw I own an 07 trailblazer ls .
U know the government has a standard for the allowable amount of insect parts and rodent hairs allowed in a box of cereal! Maybe they also have one for the number of parts that don't fit to be sold to repair shops!
Well I can say, that talking to any person who served!!! knows that the best part is the story's you hear an tell
I have the same problem with parts. I always get the wrong ones or the ones that are broken or the wrong size. Every time!!😁
***** I hear that
So at 14:30 is when I realized... we aren't alone in getting all the BS to happen to us! Great video!
I have the same problem - You got it ! I have to dis-connect the batt-cable or the fuse. Now I can do this with your knowledge ! Thanks ! ! ! I will order the control module tomarrow ( 7-24- 17) I like your "comments" you put in there ! ! and throw things on the floor ! LOL !
Haha cool, good luck with he repair!
You are not whinning. I feel you're pain.. I use GM parts as much as possible. I learned my lesson year's ago..
I really likes live repairing videos! This was a funny one :) i laughed a lot when you imitated Patrick and also some other moments :)
orfeous Well that's good thing :)
Yeah, it was a good and fun start on this day :)
This is the way it always is for me too, Eric! The ones that really get me are those that are sold as "universal fit"! To me, that just means that it won't fit anything very well! Keep up the good work!
Monte Hyler That is a perfect definition of universal
Thanks! Most helpful. I got the part from AutoZone and only had to splice three wires. It was in a 2006 GMC Sierra.
Thank you showed me a lot to fix my 2003 GMC Envoy xl
I feel your pain My Honda threw a ckp dtc today Cleared the code and it came right back. I need to follow the flow chart to see if the distributor needs to replaced or if its the pcm. It was a reman from from cardone. So I called Autozone because I know it has a lifetime warranty. Well The Autozone by the house where I got the dizzy from said they could not find the warranty info in their computer. So I asked them to try a different number. They said they where busy and told me to call back and then hangs up. So i stop at another Autozone on the way from the gym.and they where able to find the warranty information. Here is the kicker they have none in stock at any store and I have to pay 222 dollars up front so they can order so i can warranty it. It makes me crazy mad that I have to pay for it then warranty it and then bring back the old part to get my 222 dollars back. Then I look on Amazon and see it for 125.dollars rand new. Same brand. Way under 100 dollars on ebay.
Bruce Pierce Ahhhh I totally fell your pain man. I just want to remove all the warning labels on everything and let this problem sort its self out.
Eric, I feel your pain with aftermarket junk!!! I suppose the aftermarket parts world hasn't lost enough $$ yet with returns and bad designs. Just make it "fit" as original. What a racket. By the way, nice use of your head.
jake ounce Oh it is frustrating for sure and they don't care on bit is the problem.
Even the best get a low spot. Good video for us all.
Love your channel Eric .I think you'll need a beer tonight after that fix try not take it out on misses O
After watching this video I wanted to ask Eric one question, can you make a video telling us how you feel about aftermarket parts?
LOL with the extra adhesive pad...was that in the directions? Sure sounds like you have a lot of diagnostic work finding its way to your shop! That's awesome! Well gotta get back to Subaru engine swapping here...hopefully no more cracked cylinders or banging connecting rods in the near future haha
motoYam82 Oh man they said go for it huh?
South Main Auto Repair
The Outback is purring like a kitten with a low-mileage junkyard engine :) Now the guy with the Forester...last I heard he went to the Subie dealer for a "professional diagnosis"...they told him the timing belt jumped, bending valves and such. Biggest load of steaming BS I've heard in a while haha
Hahaha I love dealerships, people worship them and there opinions
I know right? Why not just give me the money to actually fix it right the first time lol
Don't even try to explain economics to them haha
That part has been "Muntzed". Ever heard of "Mad Man Muntz"? He was originally a used car dealer in Los Angeles in the 1940s and 50s. When television came along he figured he could make money there too. So he opened a factory and started making TV sets. Which he sold for the absolute lowest price. Which he did by making the sets just as cheaply as possible and still have them work. Electronics engineers used to laugh that Muntz would take a working TV design and start snipping resistors out of it until it stopped working, then put the last resistor back in. Each resistor saved one cent on the price of making the TV.
Someone saved one inch of wire. Assuming those are #10 wires made with real copper, these days that is probably 5 cents saved on that part! And it still probably fits about 50% of the original applications.
that was a good video eric,,very funny ,,lol...keep them coming bud,,great work also..
Thanks willothedog1
I am glad that after all of that , the new one was good . lol . Done one not long ago . I believe a BWD and it just plugged right in , yes plug and play , but sure you know that and that makes this re wiring the car so much more aggravating. If only there was copper centered butt connectors . . It is funny how some of the simplest jobs turn out to be the most unnecessary complicated , time consuming jobs ever. I used to call the manufacturers and tell them ( nicely of course ) how they make my life miserable , but they do not care , they really don`t. I think they have fun at it . Which reminds me , i need to do a video on a company with outstanding customer service , not a company with highest dollar tools , but i like the tool . And they done me right. Oh and do not worry I got this one for you , Now on my way to, My local Napa guy to scream and scream and scream at him about this BR532 crap for you , that should take care of it so this will not happen to you again . lol
Terry I'm looking forward to that vid, it's not all bad out there.
wtbm123 Thank you for yelling at Napa for me Terry and I will no longer expect mistakes from them thank you. Can't wait to see the video :)
Steve Rob Yeah Terry found the needle in the hay stack...
Terry didn't say who the supplier was , I'm going with General Motors 👍
Oh yeah why don't you order GM parts like today's module . Just wondering .
Oh yeah on that, this was a "can you fix it now" request. Otherwise it would have came from the GM's.
that video of the ford that wont start with no communication is going to be a good one if you record! itll be like a scannerdanner vid
phil holbrook Just a heads up I we be posted in next couple of days before the weekend :)
thats what people like i think, diagnostics. anyone can change a brake pad, or part. but cant figure if its bad or not and just guess. hope its a good one. good work on the blazer
I remove the 3 wires from the original plug and the 3 pig tail wires from the new plug, no cutting of wires
The reason the part is diffrent then what you took out is they found out the origanal would burn out . the three wire set up could not handle the power going to it over time so they went to a seven wire plug . It would have been nice if they would have put a plug on the wires that you splice into the main wiring harness to the control unit in the dash insted of cut and splice .
Just so you know, you can obtain the correct, 3-pin unit from most any bona fide supplier. The 3-pin unit has the pigtail coming out ready to plug into the blower.
Great videos with a talented mechanic
Hey Eric on that 05 Chevy trailblazer blower motor couldn't you have just trimmed the other ear and turn the module around anyway use a hacksaw or something if it's just a Mounting ear and there is no a circuitry just cut the plastic to fit
good video good info and excellent diagnoses and made my day by banking ur head on that small piece lamao you ask for one thump up I, give a million for this one thanks for sharing.
j georges Thanks :)
I literally just had my 07 trailblazer do this to me. Had to pull the fuze, also, so it would stop. I work parts in a body shop, I'm looking at a OEM resistor, never get universal fit...lol....especially from NAPA. I know my truck doesn't like aftermarket parts any way.
lol, I did this on my Envoy also with a NAPA part, very irritating when you have to go back and splice a new part so it will fit. Mine just went out again after only 8 months so I am going to order one from GM this time
eric amazon has some kick ass heat shrink soder ones called sure seal they are heat shrink like the butts conectors but instead of crimping when you use your crack torch the soder melts and than the heat shrink shrinks. but i ran into this same simular problem with my 454ss tail pipes the muffler outs are 2 1/4 and two tails out the left side so i ordered the walker pipes they were 2 inch pipes so i called napa and said no there 2 1/4 the walker dig says so even down to i need the 2 1/4 clamps x 4 two for muffler and two for the duel exzust bracket i told napa well i do have my free harbor fright tape you bget with anything you buy there but its sure says 2 inches i did take wood working in school as well as car o liner serfied so i can even read mm. i called walker and they said they discountiued the 2 1/4 pips cause chevy used the two inch pipes on all the other trucks in the 90s with the duel tails so they keep the part number for the two and not the 2 1/4 now i know the extra 1/4 isnt gona make a huge difference in hp but now i need to drive to the niagara falls again and get two adapters and more clamps or just weld the adapters in the tail pipes what a pain in the arse as well as niagara falls napa mow sends you every varable part listed, and we the manchic has to deturmand the correct or best fit witch is good until you return the parts you didnt use than the young punks there piss and moan, i ask them if they were femail thats why god gave women two sets of lips to pisgs and moan.. ok that joke was uncalled for. but all the old timers at this napa retired and now young punks that dont know a screwdriver from a hammer. they just are keyboard smart key punching fingers on my other chevy 1998 i needed a fuel filter same on all but cause i told him it was a 5.7 and not a 350 he said his computer dont list a gmc 1998 k 1500 with a 5.7 just a 262 505 350 454 so i was nice enough to teach him the leiters for the inches he raddled off . he was very rude about my lesson so its the same everywhere.. i see on your test drives you on rute 415 anywhere around wellsville alfreid state college i went there in 91-93 for autobody
I think it would've been faster to cut the interfering corner off the blower resistor.
love your videos ,no bs like others , real tech life
Hi Eric
Good vid but i feel your pain when parts are not designed right and you have to do a DYI to get it to work.
Robert
Replaced my module and resistor as both were bad but blower still won’t turn off so I think it’s something in the wiring now 😅
Yeah, I feel your pain. I've Always Had Bad luck with napa parts. I got a power steering pump that was bad right out of the box from Napa. Surprisingly, I've never gotten a bad part or had a part fail from autozone. Granted I'm only 19 and have been working on cars for 3 years. Anyways, what do you think of trailblazers? I have one with 178,000 miles and have had no major issues other than a couple ignition coils.
Richard Evans Most of the problems I see here with trailblazers are rust related. Other than that they seem ok. You keep doing this u will get more bad parts I am sure :)
@@SouthMainAuto i avoid parts from the zone ive always had terrible luck with them
23:33 So funny I laughed out loud, thanks for your videos! They are the best!
Will Peters Haha glad you liked it
Hi I have a 2008 uplander 3.9l my rear and front blower not working . On none of the settings not even high speed..I replaced the resister and the motor still not working . When I check the resister wires I get 11 volts on all the wires but no blower. I don't know what else to do any help would be appreciated. Great vedios man keen it up
The commentary about the crap universal fit products is justified. Now when we encounter this issue it will not be such a surprise. Thanks for the comedy relief. Hmmmm it's just about 4:30 here, gotta go. Call you back tomorrow, maybe.
from what i heard all the replacement modular have to be wired in ,there is a bullinten from GM
i am hunting down a fornt blower motor not turning on. customer complaint. what i found blower motor making noise when low (i put outside source power to it), #4 bcm fuse was blown, #13 radiator fan heat distorted but not blown yet. front blower motor relay missing #32. i moved the #20 spare relay to the #32 spot. still no go.then i moved another relay to make sure its not the relay. and still no go. i got a new resistor module for the blower and still no go. now im going to pull the button crontrol unit and check that.
the fresh air motor works sometimes also. so there is power at the resistor, and ive checked got under 12v.
any thoughts on this 05 chrysler Pacifica
170000miles.
i watched your video on the ground wire fix. the wir on this one is still good.
Great video, as always! Keep up the good work!
TheTexasCoder :)
I worked in auto parts, before AutoZone advanced and whatever, gone are the old counterman who sometimes knew more than the mexhanic, we worked the old fashioned way with millions of books that you had to manually cross reference if needed, computers were just starting to become popular so parts companies still put out books and catalogs on computer software, I don't know if the catalogs are st ill being published.
great video good info and comical looking forward to more videos
Our blower motor works intermittently. The heat gauge does not move. Have checked wires at the thermostat and ac they are good. Did not see any bad connections. Could the module be causing this problem. The vehicle is not overheating. Some times it cools other days it does not. Have also noticed that air does not come out the dash vents on occasion.
Like my carpenter brother says. "I cut that board twice and it's still too short".
had to do this a few times in my 05 grand prix. get them from the junkyard. they fail in the full on position like that. and they're expensive. make sure the fan isn't seized up or hard to turn as it will just fail again.
SilentServiceCode also it was riveted in place in that car. make sure you have some new screws.
SilentServiceCode Yeah GM is famous for using those melt in plastic rivets
South Main Auto Repair actually they were metal rivets, in a spot hard to reach with a drill. great design.
hmm never saw the metal ones yet
yo dr o, in this video are you using knipex pliers and do you use knipex in general?
keepin it real again, thanks
***** Thanks for watching :)
TBH I would of soldered those high current blower motor connections. Those crimps you used could end up being a hot spot and causing resistance and problems later.
This video just saved me lots of money. ..thanks for the awesome video...the banging of the head was priceless ..lmao
The new heat shrink connector w solder & no crimp are way nicer.
they actually have connectors that are hewt shrink, sealed AND have solder inside. their all I use now.
Except it can't be real solder in there, Eric has mentioned those before and they all went bad on him at about the one year mark, so hope your mileage is better. I've never seen that type and didn't know about the hot glue lined, heat shrink butt connectors either. I prefer to use the un-insulated crimp on butt connectors since it grips much better than plain jane squeeze but I dope them with RTV silicone going together and fill the divet too. Jury is still out on if this is worth a hoot or not - we'll see. They do offer heat shrink tubing with hot glue liner these days, that's a real nice touch on a genuine solder joint.
2007 Trailblazer- All fan speeds operate with A/C however the air current drops dramatically when heat is turned on all speed controls function. What could cause this issue?
Great job Eric.
I am sure you know but when you stagger the cuts when you crimp them you have a much smaller bundle as all the joints are not in one place.
