So we watched like four other videos. Yours was the most "real" and easy to follow. I also appreciate the comment section for an added tip or two. We total laymen were able to get this done in under 45 minutes.
Best vid on this replacement. Did one today this vid helped tremendously. Now I see why it calls for a hour of labor.... that one screw in the back wasn't easy to get to at all
Great video. Made the work alot easier. With it being an older car and having 4 other bolts I decided to just remove those 4 bolts, reach up on the housing on both sides towards the back and wiggle and tilt it till the plastic snapped off where the bolt was attached to it. Housing stays in perfectly fine without it. Also avoided having to carve up the insulation. That 5th bolt in the back is overkill. Snapping off the plastic allowed me to change it in about 20 minutes.
John Klotzbach I have heard of others doing the same, I agree that the back screw is overkill and put there by Chrysler's engineers just to cause misery to those who need to repair the vehicle :) thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for the help! Just finished replacing my fan. If I could offer some advice, using a mirror to get the back screw is very helpful. It's a lot easier than feeling around, or poking your head in there. I'd also like to point out that it works great without that screw back in place! Thanks again!!
Thank you for the videos. I initially was going to have our garage fix this but after watching your videos I felt this was something I could do in the time I have to devote to the task. That rear screw was not fun. Chipping away at the insulation and finding the screw and everything associated with that sucked. It all worked just fine in the end. I did leave off that screw upon reassembly. I have somehow lost it. Oh well, seems to work just great.. Thanks again..
Nice video, full of information without having to wade through a lot of frills. Thanks for taking the time to make this. I watched the videos and now feel confident I can handle the whole thing. Got it all apart, and think I'll probably take Robert U's suggestion below and forget about that back screw, especially after spending a good chunk of time finding and taking it off. If anyone has to replace the fan again, they'll probably thank me for that.
Thanks. Best video so far. I will copy but first I will connect the new fan to be sure nothing else is wrong. If the new fan will start the work will begin otherwise something else is wrong to search for.
Some comments after having just finished doing this on my 2007 T&C: A mirror and a bright light were helpful. Also, 5/16" works wonders when 8mm isn't available. The motor is keyed, so make sure you are putting it on with the keyed tab in the right place. (It's the one with two holes -- one for the screw and one for a plastic pin.)
Thank you thank you thank you for both videos got my fan motor changed going back to northern Ontario Canada from Alabama will be needing the defrost and you made it possible for me on low income to do it.
It was a stroke of luck went to step son's house for cutter and he said here try this flex on my drill first before you cut insulation and lo and behold it worked lol but if he wouldn't of had that I would have to cut insulation out like you did lol
Thanks a bunch! It was more difficult to take out the insulation than to find the back screw! 05 T&C - 5/16" works - Amazon $35 part - Firestone quote $400!!
Does the accuator control the fan speed cause one of the controls on my fiancees van isnt working so didnt know if its the control panel or if it could be the accuator or fan
Thank you. Now, how important is that last screw in the back? I've been at it for a long time and am taking a break from it, so I can get some feelings back in my fingers.
Hi Steve can you help me out please. I have a 06 town and country and sometimes the front fan blower works and sometimes it don't. It takes it fit like everything else does. Does it seem like it could be the fan motor is bad and needs replaced. And also the rear fan blower works it blows from the lower rear passenger side on the floor but no air comes out from the upper vents at all. Please someone give some advice on what the problem can be and if a hard or easy problem to fix. And it also has automatic temperature control. Thanks
So, regarding the front blower motor beneath the glove box area. The next time it is not working, if you can hit the plastic cover that covers it that I show in my video with something solid and it starts working, then most likely the motor itself is bad and is need of replacement. If you have never changed the blower motor and it is still the original from 2006 than its 13 years old and is probably failing. I have sold my blue 2005 and now have a white 2005 and have had to change the blower motor in this one as well, it seems to be a common issue as they age. As far as your rear is concerned it could be something in the electrical control panel or in one of the rear actuators that divert the air to the top or bottom zone in the rear of the van. Perhaps someone else will chime in regarding the rear issue, as I have not run into that one personally so I am only speculating ideas on what it could be. Anyways, thank you for watching and commenting!
Thanks Steve I will try to to that when I'm not working. I know sometimes when I turn the setting down or up with the knob the blower quits and then about 5 to 10 min later it starts blowing again but it seems like its not really putting out as much air at times but you can also hear a humming noise as well. And I already replaced fan blower resistor thought maybe that was the problem so maybe that wasn't the problem after all. But I'll have to tap it and see what it does but more likely I'll just replace it.
Steve you get this message reply back my fan blower motor goes really high and then low. Sometimes when adjusting the speed it doesn't help. I hear a humming noise coming from that area. And I even replaced the fan blower resistor. So does it seem more likely its the fan blower motor.
@@jamesmoyer5724 yes, it sounds to me like the motor is on its way out, they can be had new for under $30 on eBay shipped. For the money and time its worth changing it now before it dies completely.
Thanks for videos. perhaps someone can help: My blower only blows half way, and stops blowing at times. Is it the motor or something else? (I have a 2006, but think it's same as 2005)
@@E4EonEbay ya thanks the wife has been happy. Its running fine now. I ended up having to bust off the back screw of the housing but it all works fine now. Plus it will be easier next time if i need to do it again.
Absolutely awesome videos!! You got me from beginning to end without throwing anything!! And your videos were the only special tools I needed!!! I'll be checking with you for any future repairs my 06 T&C might need!! You were super helpful!! I can't thank you enough!!! 🍾🎉🍹🥳🍻❄️🥶🔥🥵💯🌬️🚙👗👛💄👠
glad it helped ! I need to fix my blend door actuator soon, maybe I'll shoot a video of that too... it only blows out of the front vents at the moment.
Great video......I’ll be doing this later today.....” pinch the back screw between two fingers “ I don’t know how you did it.( did you lose your religion) 😂 anyway you got it done.....👍👍
THANK YOU SIR! For completing this video. It was very helpful for my girl whos motor went out. God bless you and again thank you for your efforts in completing this video.
I honestly thought about that, I swear vehicle engineers who design cars have never worked on one a day in their life, if they did, they wouldn't put screws in places like that...
Nice and simple. Thanks a ton.

I was thinking that one screw probably doesnt need to be put back in as it does not seem to be critical

Matthew Lind your welcome, I saw some videos that said it required special tools like a flex bit, I decided it could be done with basic tools
Or it will leak air, make a noise. who knows? The next guy will.
Thanks U ,. That REALLY helped me,. Keep it On
You're welcome!
Thanks. Best video so far. I will copy but first I will connect the new fan to be sure nothing else is wrong. If the new fan will start the work will begin otherwise something else is wrong to search for.
Nice job, 6year's and hopefully this guy has his own shop by now.
Thankfully someone actually shows how to do this correctly.
your welcome

Richard Lamothe glad I could help!
Another thing is the back screw on housing I got with a 8mm socket on a flex shaft on power drill without removing the insulation that was a plus
Richard Lamothe I didn't have a flex shaft handy...lol
It was a stroke of luck went to step son's house for cutter and he said here try this flex on my drill first before you cut insulation and lo and behold it worked lol but if he wouldn't of had that I would have to cut insulation out like you did lol
Appreciate the assist. I just finished this job a couple minutes ago, and the video was very helpful.
Thanks! Glad to hear it helped.
Excellent job, Steve. Best video on this subject (and I have seen all of them)!
Thank you very much!
Best video by far. I will be changing the blower motor and resistor on my moms van. Thank you very much!

Nice thanks, you take your time to explain. good job man.
+coldinnh Your Welcome!
Thank you sir,.....I'll be doing this job later this week. Much appreciated.
Your welcome, I hope it helped!
A big help! Doing 05 Pacifica tomorrow, thanks Steve :)
This video is just what I needed....not looking forward to that back screw tho. Wish me luck!
Thanks for videos. perhaps someone can help: My blower only blows half way, and stops blowing at times. Is it the motor or something else? (I have a 2006, but think it's same as 2005)
Thanks for sharing; ready to take on the job!
Thank you for making the video.
this is by far the best video
thanks man, I hope it helped with your project!
Thanks for the help. I broke mine but finally got it
Glad to hear you got it fixed. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you for your post man! That helped a ton!
Exactly what I needed.
wow, I am confused on mine. My brake and abs light went on and then the ac stopped working. even the temp on top dont work.
Same thing happened to a ground wire is off
Absolutely awesome videos!! You got me from beginning to end without throwing anything!! And your videos were the only special tools I needed!!! I'll be checking with you for any future repairs my 06 T&C might need!! You were super helpful!! I can't thank you enough!!! 🍾🎉🍹🥳🍻❄️🥶🔥🥵💯🌬️🚙👗👛💄👠
The power don't turn on mine. Was that the problem on yours?
Mine was making noise and then quit working
Huge help! You saved me a ton of $$$$ Much appreciated.
Thanks this was a big help.
glad it helped ! I need to fix my blend door actuator soon, maybe I'll shoot a video of that too... it only blows out of the front vents at the moment.
Excellent job
I removed it, but I tested it outside and it works, what nowwwww?
Perhaps the issue is in the control module itself and not the blower motor
Great video......I’ll be doing this later today.....” pinch the back screw between two fingers “ I don’t know how you did it.( did you lose your religion) 😂 anyway you got it done.....👍👍
That last back screw ain't goin back in LOL
Just a cover so no biggie.
Bad circuit in the resistor pack.
Which is located behind the glove box. Easy to remove and replace.
Yeah big help Steve better when plp try to pay you a arm n a leg to get it done plus take your van parts
THANK YOU SIR! For completing this video. It was very helpful for my girl whos motor went out.
God bless you and again thank you for your efforts in completing this video.
Steve, my T&C needs a new one...Can I bring it to you??? LOL..
Deby W if your in NH I could probably do it much cheaper than your local shop...lol
Hell nah I’m not putting that last screw in
as a flat rate tech i must confess i break the back screw off by twisting the bowl i know its wrong but not needed and i have to eat
I honestly thought about that, I swear vehicle engineers who design cars have never worked on one a day in their life, if they did, they wouldn't put screws in places like that...
Mazda 3 the worst i have done at 7.5 hrs flat rate
Good job…
Thank you
