Just completed this job, massive thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video, wouldn't have been able to tackle it without it. Absolute pig of a job!! Approx two hours start to finish. I scored a line on the plastic side panel and popped it off, I wasnt bothered taking out the whole centre console. Very tough job but the bucket and sheet idea certainly helped. Hands and arms scratched to hell and I've a feeling I'll be sore in the morning from all the twisting and turning! Unfortunately it didn't resolve my issue, after all that!! 😢. The blower had been intermittent, and sometimes worked with a bit of a bang so I assumed motor, stuck in a new one and still nothing! Could have cried!! I'm hoping now it's the resistor, at least thats easy get to and if nothing else I have a new blower fan 😂
@@GrooveOn problem sorted 👍 Just swapped out the old resistor for a new one and she's blowing good-oh now 😁 I found that I had to swap the plastic casing from the old resistor onto the new one as the aftermarket one was a tad too big.
Just finished replacing mine. This video is definitely the best resource to see how it's done properly. Getting the new one in was a bit of a struggle with that wiring loom at the top fouling the fan as you try to turn it but perseverance prevails.
Thanks to the encouragement of your video i managed to replace the old motor with a new one! It's so satisfiyng having the hot air back in my Civic, especially in genuary in north of italy haha Thank you sir!
thanks for the encouragement, its very awkward to do, unless you use my help guidelines, the first time I did this is took me 3hours+ but now I can do it in half the time.
Holy crap I was thinking about getting this model civic but this as you say not for the faint hearted! I have a 2005 Accord. Open glove box empty it, press the sides in and let it drop. Blower motor right in front 3 screws I think. Thanks for the DIY videos keep making them.
Excellent "How to video". Really good. Extra tip - Remove the clutch pedal first (as shown later in the video) Mine was impossible to remove without. Possibly due to a larger wiring loom in the way.
oh I know that wiring loom your talking about mate !! arrgh. You may be interested to know I am just about to release another video on using my Honda with my Maxicom mk808 diagnostic tool, here is a special pre-live link for you... ua-cam.com/video/2RXyLiTmjSk/v-deo.html
Great video, only one that i can find that is straight forward Any idea what could cause weak airflow? The blower has been changed and i can hear the speed go up and down when the buttons are pressed with a slight increase in airflow. Air filters changed Possibly a blockage some where maybe, any tips to check this?
Du bist so Krass!!! Die Action steht in 2 Tagen vor mir und es kraut mir echt schon davor! Du hast das so klasse gemacht vielen dank für das Video es war eine richtig gute Arbeit.
@@GrooveOn Its a mission bro , your explanation is the best on here. I'm 110 kg so removed driver seat ,vacuumed and set up foam pillow in footwell and floormat over floor pan area, The humidity is in the 90% range here , so i took my time and learnt the resistor repair whilst at it. thanks for sharing the knowledge my friend.
Hi Few days ago the blower stopped to work. Then a minute later worked fine again, the again not. Today i have changed the blower fan, but the Symptome is the same. What do you think, what can be wrong?
Hi, great video. I have to do mine, doesn't work at all. But I've got the wrong one - said on the website it fits my civic. I have 1.8 petrol. Do you have by any chance OE number for it? I'm in Ireland - right hand drive but on some doesn't say which one it is and I don't want to buy another wrong fan.
I know what you mean I've made the exact same mistake. The best way is just make sure that the one that you have looks exactly the same in the photos as the one online. This was the one I bought and fitted www.ebay.co.uk/itm/383644361301?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=eo3flM5cSvO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=hM34COOAS2q&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Hello, I have a problem with my "Heater Actuator". The thing (arm), that opens and closes, breaks for the second time in 6 mounts. I think that the mechanism moves really hard and the arm is just not that strong to move it, because when I move it with my hand from closed to opened it's kind of hard to do it. Or maybe something is wrong with the previous installation of the heater actuator. The part number is A24850A3710001, any suggestions what may be the problem? Thanks in advance!
so the car-side vents are stiff to move and the A24850A3710001 actuator moves fine yes? Can you get into the car side movement and see if something is causing the stiffness, maybe corrosion . can you lubricate any item down there? silicon spray is good for plastics
hi mate, I've got no power to my heater blowers and my back window defogger? Will this be the resistor or the heater matrix. would love some guidence if thats possible? cheers
hi there, I doubt the two are linked, the first thing to do is check the fuse to your de-mister window and the fuse to your blower fan. They are in the engine bay, Fuse 12 I think is for your rear de-mister and fuse 19 is for your blower.
@GrooveOn i will look at that today mate thank you . The blower fan fuse looked fine when I first came across the problem . There just isn't any power coming to the buttons on the dash .
@@jonnykell7717 interesting, have you got an aftermarket stereo? there is a plug that goes to the buttons I remember. I did a video on how to remove the radio
@GrooveOn no mate , just the pre built standard radio . I'm back home this weekend so I'll buy two new fuses . Your great for replying and helping me out 👍 top guy !
@@jonnykell7717 you are welcome also could be your resistor I did a video on changing it. They only cost a few £ or dollar's ua-cam.com/video/4ff81Dgn8Vo/v-deo.html
Does the crap panel actually come out? Mines stopped working and I've been trying to get that little panel out..... My panel will end up a crap panel if I can't 😲
@@GrooveOn Thanks for the reply , I have watched your video , it's very good , I was just hoping I could get the small panel out. Thanks for the help 👍
Tricky job as there is lack of space my honda is automatic so no clutch pedal to worry about my mechanic managed to do this job in a hour but was not a easy job

Well done and I'm glad the video helped it's a real pain huh. I would be 95% sure it's the resistor, they are cheap and easy to replace, let me know

Thank you sir!
isnt it just !!! its amazing what a bit of heat can do !!! did you have to take the centre console and clutch out?
That was excellent. You make it look so easy.

Thanks, I did my friends nissan note, like your accord remove glove box 4 screws loads of access easy!
Buy it if it is a good chance, it's a beautiful and reliable car anyway
Used your video to help change mine. Absolute pig of a job but your video gave me the confidence to do it. Thank you 👍
Great to hear!

You are welcome thanks if your subscribed, I hope you have a nice German left hand drive car so you don't have to remove the clutch pedal. Let me know
Just did mine , thanks for the video of how it's done.
Spot on .
Nice one, its a pain huh!
@@GrooveOn Its a mission bro , your explanation is the best on here.
I'm 110 kg so removed driver seat ,vacuumed and set up foam pillow in footwell and floormat over floor pan area,
The humidity is in the 90% range here , so i took my time and learnt the resistor repair whilst at it.
thanks for sharing the knowledge my friend.
I was so close to removing seat. Did you have to move clutch
@@GrooveOn , yes , to install fan .
@@GrooveOn yes, as per your information , Id already replaced the the clutch MC, so I knew exactly what to do there .
That was very good to follow 👍
Thanks for the encouragement, let me know if your need help
Is the radio and heater on any same system? Radio and heater stopped working simultaneously but I hit on the side started the heater blower back up
My fan died in the middle of summer loolz. I had to drive arround soaking wet from sweat loolz... But I just took it to a mechanic to do the job :)
wow , thank you so much for upload this video!
No problem!

Thanks mate
No worries

Thanks! 😃
Wonderful! Thank you sir!
@@aliiorga no problems
How did you get it past all the wires coming in from the firewall? I just can't get it out more than halfway before they block it
its a real pain I know, try unclipping the harness mounts, you'l need to get on your back and reach up.
Thanks. Replying other video. My lack heating I suspect as Thermo or Actuator or maybe even a blocked off under dash radiator
If you watch my video I show the little actuator lever which closes off the outside air does that move on your car, or it could be the thermostat
@@GrooveOn thanks been watching, I'll also find your thermo video see if easy to do
I've just been quoted £200 labour is that a good price
@@The00xbox00 well it took me about 2.5 hrs so sounds about right

If you watch the vid, to get that panel you need to remove all of the armrest part, my panel was already cracked in two
@@GrooveOn Thanks for the reply , I have watched your video , it's very good , I was just hoping I could get the small panel out. Thanks for the help 👍
@@chatsport1999 no problem, looking at my old panel I don't think it separates
