I'm a single mom who does NOT work on cars, I've just barely been learning to put some small pieces of furniture together. my Ford Explorer Sport has just recently began making that noise and I can't afford to take it to a shop. with this video "in my tool belt" I'm going to take a shot at fixing this issue myself. Chris, THANK YOU! I'm praying that with this video and others you have I can save a lot of money by becoming a do it myself kind of mom.
I do have one question, how can I find out where mine is at? I have a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport. It just began making this noise a couple of weeks ago which is funny because my daughter and I just moved to a home almost a year ago that has an ungodly amount of leaves in the driveway. Lol so I'm pretty sure it just needs cleaned out. I pray that's all it needs
Dude! Seriously thank you so much for creating this channel, you have helped me and my wife save so much money while we're putting ourselves through school. Keep it up man, you're helping tons of people!
I just watched your video. My blower was making a nose after I changed the filter. I was able to stick my hand in the fan and I pulled out 2 small leaves. After I did that I turned air on an noise was gone!! Thanks you save me money!! Can't believe that 2 small leaves could make so much noise!!
***** I was thinking about cleaning the condenser. Do you think it is worth it? As for the blower motor. I filmed this video first then the blower motor resistor video. I just happened to edit the other video first because with this video I had to retake some audio and video I messed up on.
ChrisFix hey chrisfix I wanted to know why my a/c isn't blowing cold out of all my vents only the passenger side vent blows colder I replaced Compressor ,condenser expansion valve ,dryer and evaporator it's a 1998 honda civic
Dude u literally have the answers to all the car troubles I've been having so far lol. This is literally the 3rd time u've saved me from expensive repairs. Thanks!
I did this to my brothers car and it WORKED!!! I was so happy because before it wasn't even blowing any air and making so much noises! This video fixed the entire problem. When I showed my brother he was so happy!
Awesome! I took my car to the dealership (while under warranty) to fix my blower motor that sounded like a baseball card in bicycle spokes and they couldn't find an issue. After the dealership trip, there was a new squeaking noise coming from under the glove box. I found the blower motor secured with only 2 of the 3 screws! I just watched this and found out it was due to fan wobble. Missing screw replaced, fan tightened, all good! Thanks, Chris! You rock! Definitely subscribed!
Chrisfix is a wizard. He makes it look so easy. I pretty much had to do a magic trick to get my blower motor out and in without removing the reservoir. I'm kinda surprised I was able to. Thanks for making these videos! I went from knowing next to nothing about cars to doing many major repairs myself from watching your videos. Saved me thousands!
I had the same issue with mine! The last reservoir bolt was inaccessible underneath the lower air filter box. Ended up breaking my fan when pulling it out, thankfully crazy glue and zip ties work as a temporary fix!
I will add that I'm a mechanics daughter, most of the time my dad doesn't have the time to answer all of my questions and I go to UA-cam for a lot of things to fix my own to help save on money. One of the best videos I've come by, I'm going to attempt this issue today and I already know you have made it easier. Most videos people talk and talk and talk and not get to the point, I fully listened to yours first without doing it step by step as I go. Great job, truly!!
Thanks so much for this video. My motor was making noises 2 days ago, but today it ran fine. Now, I know I just need to get in there and clean out some debris. What's even better, my wiper reservoir has a giant crack, so I am going to replace that and have easy access to the motor debris at the same time. You have saved me about $1, 000 over the last 2 years. Maybe more. Love your stuff. From: 2005 ford ranger edge owner.
+Luis Payan, I cannot reply to your comment for some reason, so hopefully you see this. I would check your cruise control fuse because that is easy to do, but I would check your vacuum lines going to the cruise control. They might have fallen off or be cracked.
ChrisFix nice video like always Chris...if u ever have the time can you do a video on changing out the cabin air filter on a pt cruiser.. if not thanks anyways for all your awesome videos!
I might be able to do that one. Right now I am parting out my PT cruiser but the cabin is still in tact. In a month or two, remind me if I havent made the video!
Hi Chris. I just wanted to say thank you for the incredibly helpful DIY videos. A couple years back, I bought an '08 Pontiac G6 with some minor quirks. An AC vent was broken, the passenger-side windshield squirter wasn't working. Also anytime the AC or heater turned on, it made an obnoxious chirping sound. All these things sounded like complicated and expensive things to fix. So I recently started to watch a majority of your vids and I realized that working on cars is a lot easier than it looks. I've replaced the AC vent(it wasn't connected to anything, just pops out simple). And the windshield squirter nozzle was clogged, so I just replaced it with a new OEM nozzle and its working like a champ. Now I'm going to attempt to tackle the chirping sound that my blower motor makes very soon. Now I'm not saying that I'm a hotshot mechanic but Chrisfix, you've made working on cars simple to understand and saved me a lump sum. Thank you!
I’m an hvac service tech, while that cleaner should be fine, they do make a dedicated no rinse evaporator coil cleaner. It foams up and as you run your ac the condensate will rinse the cleaner off. Plus it has a good smell to it.
Great video. I would also like to share that if a blower motor makes noise sometimes rodents may keep nuts on the blower or even die there. That's what happened in my own case. You're my biggest DIY motivator
Great video you are about the only one on UA-cam that actually explains how to fix somethin in detail I've been a shade tree mechanic for 50 years can usually figure it out but I always worked on the 60 n 70s some 80s 90s stuff but all this electronic crap just ticks me off. So you my friend teaches old dog new tricks lol thanks for sharing be safe have fun
Great video Chris! Another reason to clean leaves and debris off your windshield air intake area. I see so many car repair videos where people just ignore the pile of leaves on their car.
Just came from the other blower motor video. My sisters Yaris has a motor problem. These videos have given me knowledge on how to tackle the problem and a solution.
Is this the same method used to fix a PS4 Jet Engine when its getting ready for take off at 3am? 😂😂 I remember watching this video when it first came out and still watching to this day. Love this channel. 💕🎉👍🏻
I have to leave a comment and a thumbs up since this video saved me time and few bucks. Passenger side dashboard suddenly vibrates violently with the fan on max. The next day, the foul smell comes out of the ac. After following this video, I was able to pull out the blower motor and turns out a small mouse ended up in the blower compartment causing vibration and when it decomposes caused the foul smell.
Thank you Chris! Just fixed my sons AC blower on his 1999 Toyota Solara. He had more than a couple leaves, he actually had the whole blower as full as it could get with the leaves! You do a great job teaching, a really great job! Stay humble!!
@@BmwMe-uh9sy Just means suckers will pay more fix it. Its nothing to do with quality, only snobbery, for those who never turned a wrench in their life and have more money than sense.
I would recommend spraying WD-40 or Lithium Grease around the bearings, motor, or joint areas before re-installing as well as re-conditioning the rubber parts with Armor All. I always use a wire brush on any rusty bolts and then spray with Lithium Grease or regular grease to keep them from rusting and being hard to remove.
I was anticipating having to do this as there was a horrible screeching from the blower and it would occasionally cut out completely. My thoughts were that a bearing failed and the motor would need to be replaced, although an aftermarket one would only be ~$40). It turned out to be an even easier and practically free fix. In my car (2010 Mazda CX-9) the AC reservoir is situated next to the blower motor and the AC drain plug was clogged so the water had overflowed and flooded the blower motor. A little blast of compressed air cleared out the clog and miraculously the motor was completely fine. The car peed like a racehorse for a good 3-4 minutes after I busted the clog out 😂
Good video, very informative step by step processes, you seem to cover all the bases as should be, no over talking and you make sure to talk about the do's and dont's!
Great video Chris!! I love the detailed step by step instructions you give that are so simple & easy to understand. Many videos I've watched neglect the fact that not all of us are mechanically inclined & they tend to leave out 'the little steps' that they figure are assumed, but your video completely helped me understand this fix from start to finish !! Thanks for your assistance 👍😁
Thank you! We went through a car wash with an under carriage spray and my fan started making this horrible whirring noise! We had just come back from a week at the beach so I'm thinking there is sand in there! THank you!!!!
When using general-purpose cleaners on evaporator coils, one should be sure that they don't contain chemicals that can damage the copper and/or aluminum coil materials. These would include chlorine and ammonia. Plain detergent and warm water might be best. Obviously, special purpose coil cleaners are also made.
Just noticed this problem today on my 2000 Ranger. Will attempt your procedure, hope it works. Will get back to you. Thanks again for your helpful vids.
Samniss Arandeen lol. I just did this on my 15 Impreza, and it’s even easier than this video. Literally directly below the glove box. Just take out 3 screws and it drops down.
August 26, 2019. Great videos Chris keep up the good work. I had to do this to a 2013 1500 Chevy Silverado in early spring the motor stopped and I couldn't defrost the windshield anymore. So the next nice day I did the job same as you. The only thing I did different was cleaning the evaporator with water after vacuuming out the drain hole from under the truck first. This insured the drain hole was clear and all was good for the air-conditioner. Installed a new air filter and fan control module, then buttoned her up and she was good to go.
Taking some wrenchs to the old caddy Saturday after watching this. Its under the dash with plenty of old plastic begging to snap at the slightest mistake. Wish me luck!
Two weeks after I replaced my blower motor, it suddenly got so bad, the dash was shaking. I was mad, but after taking it apart, it was a field mouse that ran into it. The mouse was in the fan cage and threw it off balance like a washing machine with a pair of shoes.
You sure have beautiful hands and very nice, moisturized skin for a guy who works on cars. Most guys who work on cars I find don’t have such nice hands as yours. I like the detail you show in your video. It’s definitely helpful for information for me. I’m not able to do the work on my car. I just wish the auto mechanic who is doing the work would be so kind to clean and remove the leaves and debris as you did but no such luck. It stinks when you’re a female unable to do the work yourself such as me and have to rely on someone else who doesn’t really care about your car to do everything properly and keep it clean. You’re lucky. Then again, females who have mechanics for a boyfriend or hubby are so lucky too. Happy holidays.
I just changed the blower motor and blower motor resistor as well, thank you so much Chris your channel is amazing, it has saved me a lot of money on labor
Ah, thanks for the info. I was hoping it was just this and not having to take the whole dash apart. The blower on mine's been sounding like a hibernating bear snoring and flatulating. Barely _any_ air was being pushed through the vents. >.< Car in question was a complete rebuild, bought from someone who let it sit and apparently some mice made it their home. I know this because I found 2 dead on the passenger footwell after a while and first time I turned the heater on I heard a click/thunk and **poof** some gray mouse fluff. O_o
I've been subbed for a while and you've helped me figure out SO MANY problems THEN my AC started squeaking! and here you are with a video right here for me! now my blower has no noise!
Thank you for making this approachable! My '98 Taurus had great heat and AC but stopped blowing out last summer. I was in the car when it gurgled and stop running for the last time and my (ex) mechanic was no help in providing a resolution.
Chris God bless you, your explanations are second to none. The videos are simple to follow, direct to the point,. You have a gift son....A thousand 🙏 You are the Fixit angel 😇
Thanks man replaced the wife’s cabin filter and didn’t think to clean all debris so motor makes that exact noise now I don’t have to sleep outside hava
I have a question about my 2003 Dodge neon, my cruise control keeps going out and idk if its a fuse in my box that is bad or something else? Do you know what the problem might be?
OMG I just had the same thing in a free Maxima that was living under a tree for a year! acorns were jammed in the fins! worked like a champ after. and yeah car still stinks
+ChrisFix car people come in all the time to buy it they spray it on there clothes then straight in the wash we used it on the old boat with hard rain, no problem
Man you saved me I was starting to think that my ac compressor went bad but It wasn’t making much sense because the ac blows cold but it’s just the noice !
first of all, thanks! I taught this would be much more complicate than what is really! I live in Argentina, with the converssion, i had to pay almost 100 dollars only for pull out some leaves, and to put some wd-40 on the blower motor to clean the dirt, so yeah it was very simple and I almost bought another blower cause I taught it's was broken. Keep it like that!
Really should replace the seal on that, else its also pulling crap in. I've got a car sitting on the side of the house that has mice that got in through there somehow. Would be nice if you could do a vid on how to screen off those areas as mentioned in the comments. Been watching on occasion over the years, and you're getting better and better at pointing out little things to watch for in addition to the main event. Good job.
Bye far the best teacher yet even better than my instructor at school. Thank you so much i watch ALL of what you do no matter if i have that problem or not . good on you mate
once again thank you very much I replace the blower motor resistor because of your video GOD bless you from your geatest fan among you suscriptors long life to you man.
This helped me work on my own Car and fix the loud noise that I though would be very expensive to fix but mine was underneath the glove box and had to be a bit of a contortionist. To get to the 3 screws holding it in.
my car starts to shake and make more noise when the AC fan is on, I'm def checking this, also other car has a bad smell when the fan is on, so this could help too, very nice video.
I actually broke one of the spokes on the cage when I removed the blower motor trying to diagnose a different problem, and then it started making noises at higher RPM. I removed the blower motor again and put a little loctite on the cage to fix it. Saved a few bucks on that as the vibration stopped.
Hey Chris I really really wish you would do one of you famous "super cleans" on your truck but instead to the interior!! like a interior cleaning video!
Thank you chrisfix for making this video Your videos are also helpful in the Netherlands My Volkswagen golf mk4 had a noisy blower too this week i have removed the blower but There was no leaf inside but a plastic sandwich bag. I dont know how That can happen but your videos are very helpful i hope you Will make more videos of your driftstang and your drift seasons. Regards from The Netherlands

When you say "it's buried in the dash", you mean it's buried further in the dash than Egyptian pharaohs were buried in their pyramids.

Two weeks after I replaced my blower motor, it suddenly got so bad, the dash was shaking. I was mad, but after taking it apart, it was a field mouse that ran into it. The mouse was in the fan cage and threw it off balance like a washing machine with a pair of shoes.
Bloody mice... I hate them
Dont let that happen again.
You sure have beautiful hands and very nice, moisturized skin for a guy who works on cars. Most guys who work on cars I find don’t have such nice hands as yours. I like the detail you show in your video. It’s definitely helpful for information for me. I’m not able to do the work on my car. I just wish the auto mechanic who is doing the work would be so kind to clean and remove the leaves and debris as you did but no such luck. It stinks when you’re a female unable to do the work yourself such as me and have to rely on someone else who doesn’t really care about your car to do everything properly and keep it clean. You’re lucky. Then again, females who have mechanics for a boyfriend or hubby are so lucky too. Happy holidays.
Get coil cleaner for AC condenser, you'll have super cold air flowing then.
ff5gus can you link me to this?
That was the evaporator
I just changed the blower motor and blower motor resistor as well, thank you so much Chris your channel is amazing, it has saved

Car in question was a complete rebuild, bought from someone who let it sit and apparently some mice made it their home. I know this because I found 2 dead on the passenger footwell after a while and first time I turned the heater on I heard a click/thunk and **poof** some gray mouse fluff. O_o
Gross lol
I've been subbed for a while and you've helped me figure out SO MANY problems THEN my AC started squeaking! and here you are with a video right here for me! now my blower has no noise!
Those leaves were planted like OJ's glove...
Hell nah😂
Thank you for making this approachable! My '98 Taurus had great heat and AC but stopped blowing out last summer. I was in the car when it gurgled and stop running for the last time and my (ex) mechanic was no help in providing a resolution.
Now my cabin smells like wd-40
Razvan Alexandru lmao
WD-40 kinda smells good.
I mean I know this is late but you could use a areaoseoul disinfectant
Why though? I didn't see him using wd 40 in this video for the purpose of cleaning the blower?!
@@amjathkhan2004 he used a degreaser and he said use something that smells good
Chris
God bless you, your explanations are second to none.
The videos are simple to follow, direct to the point,.
You have a gift son....A thousand 🙏
You are the Fixit angel 😇
"Accessing the blower motor is easy" he sais.
And i have to take out thw whole dash to get to it
Back in the old days cars werent a pain in the ass to work on

@@philippeichinger3246 1990? Damn still running good? If it is you must be taking good care of it
Thanks man replaced the wife’s cabin filter and didn’t think to clean all debris so motor makes that exact noise now I don’t have to sleep outside hava
I have a question about my 2003 Dodge neon, my cruise control keeps going out and idk if its a fuse in my box that is bad or something else? Do you know what the problem might be?
Luis Payan. Could be the break light switch at the top of the pedal. it is link to cruise control for safety.
Luis Payan well if u hit your brake after you put on cruise control it will go off for safety so the car will slow down before u come to a stop
I'm pretty sure that Luis asked ChrisFix this question.
@@Shewalksinm00nlights8 What does it matter who the answer comes from?
Wow a young UA-camr who doesn't spend most of the bid talking about themself... Very good video mate, great camera footage and well narrated
Thanks a lot James!
pro..thank you.
Replace dirty filter, too.
You forgot about armorall on the tires.
Great! Chris Fix always gets the job done. A rat got stuck in my blower motor. Thank you Chris. 👍
my whole dash clunks and smells like squirrels.. lol....
Turns out they were living in the blower!! LOL
+JakeWardell 19 😂😂😂😂
+Robin1Titan Smells so bad.... lol
+JakeWardell 19 Poor bastards got a good workout when you turned that blower on XD
OMG I just had the same thing in a free Maxima that was living under a tree for a year! acorns were jammed in the fins! worked like a champ after. and yeah car still stinks
Honestly thanks Chris, my truck outta no where had this problem. Going to fix it soon thanks to u
THANKYOU SO MUCH MAN
No problem. Glad the video was helpful!
Your teaching skills are second to none. Great work!!
Pizza Pepperoni smell. ;)
You simply rock Chris when you fix.
Thanks!
you should go to dollar general and buy LA Awesome ... shit takes off all the grease
I need to try that out! Thanks!
+ChrisFix car people come in all the time to buy it
they spray it on there clothes then straight in the wash
we used it on the old boat with hard rain, no problem
Man you saved me I was starting to think that my ac compressor went bad but It wasn’t making much sense because the ac blows cold but it’s just the noice !
why does your car keep breaking down😂
Because that's what machines do over time.
Because it's a ford
Chronic Supreme sorry but mazda is ford
Edwin Dominguez so, i can say I know someone with a Ford rx8 r3?
Edward Polo nope but for and mazda are same. Like audi and vw or like chevy and gmc or chevy and buick
first of all, thanks! I taught this would be much more complicate than what is really! I live in Argentina, with the converssion, i had to pay almost 100 dollars only for pull out some leaves, and to put some wd-40 on the blower motor to clean the dirt, so yeah it was very simple and I almost bought another blower cause I taught it's was broken. Keep it like that!
+Ivan Lesca Awesome! I am glad the video was helpful! It is pretty awesome I can help someone so far away!!!
Yup! Next time I wont have to pay for changing oil or the air filter or brakes, I'm learning a lot, so yeah keep like that man!
Perfect timing! I was driving around with this noisy fan and it was getting annoying. Thanks a lot! I am glad I am subscribed!
Great! I am glad the video is helpful and was timed perfectly lol. Let me know how the fix goes! I bet it is just some leaves!
Will do! Thanks again!
Really should replace the seal on that, else its also pulling crap in.
I've got a car sitting on the side of the house that has mice that got in through there somehow. Would be nice if you could do a vid on how to screen off those areas as mentioned in the comments.
Been watching on occasion over the years, and you're getting better and better at pointing out little things to watch for in addition to the main event.
Good job.
If it ain't broken, don't fix it!
Bye far the best teacher yet even better than my instructor at school. Thank you so much i watch ALL of what you do no matter if i have that problem or not . good on you mate
It worked on my 03 TL! It was just a damn crispy leaf! Thanks these videos are the best on youtube!
+Nicholas Diana Glad the video was helpful! Yea, those leaves can really make a lot of noise!
Seriously good video! Now I know the answer to noisy blowers.
once again thank you very much I replace the blower motor resistor because of your video GOD bless you from your geatest fan among you suscriptors long life to you man.
Am I the only one who wants to own this truck? Forget Car Fax I want certified "Chris Fix".
+traingp7 hahaha, she is a great truck!
This helped me work on my own Car and fix the loud noise that I though would be very expensive to fix but mine was underneath the glove box and had to be a bit of a contortionist. To get to the 3 screws holding it in.
I have the same truck and i like watching your videos keep up the good work
Thanks a lot!
Oh my car is 14 years old so if my blow motor was broken I could watch your channel 👍😊
quality that make your videos much help you are a mechanic of full hands
Alexandre Stuart F Thanks! I am glad the videos are helpful!
He seems to know what he's doing I wish I had somebody like that helping me with my car
my car starts to shake and make more noise when the AC fan is on, I'm def checking this, also other car has a bad smell when the fan is on, so this could help too, very nice video.
excellent video. so much knowledge gained. all along i thought this was a very cumbersome process. Great Camera work as well.
I actually broke one of the spokes on the cage when I removed the blower motor trying to diagnose a different problem, and then it started making noises at higher RPM. I removed the blower motor again and put a little loctite on the cage to fix it. Saved a few bucks on that as the vibration stopped.
You are the best in UA-cam for many years!
Hey Chris I really really wish you would do one of you famous "super cleans" on your truck but instead to the interior!! like a interior cleaning video!
Fantastic instructions/demonstration!!
I’m pretty sure this will solve my problems. You are the best!
Thank you chrisfix for making this video Your videos are also helpful in the Netherlands
My Volkswagen golf mk4 had a noisy blower too this week i have removed the blower but There was no leaf inside but a plastic sandwich bag.
I dont know how That can happen but your videos are very helpful i hope you Will make more videos of your driftstang and your drift seasons.
