- Part one of changing out the blower motor on a Chrysler Town & Country or Dodge Grand Caravan. See Part two as well.
A how to video showing the removal and installation of the Heat or A/C blower motor (HVAC Blower) and should cover the following vehicles:
2001 - 2007 Chrysler Town & Country
2001- 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan
2001- 2007 Dodge Caravan
2001 - 2007 Chrysler Voyager (2001 - 2003 US market) - Наука та технологія
My blue 2005 T & C needed a fan motor replacement.
Thanks for the video, it was a great help. One thing that I would add is once the motor is removed, you have more room to remove any carpet soundproofing that was making removal of the rear bolt difficult. That helped with the installation.
Thanks for showing where the screws are. I going to attempt the repair today and wanted to make sure I knew where the screws where before I started.
Thank you for the video.
Did not put that back screw back in. I threw it deep into the woods once I got it out.. Lol.
I'm doing the same job right now and your mess ain't nothing compared to mine 😆! Thanks for posting this helped me out tremendously!
Same job with my 04 . 19 degrees out doing this in the cold. That one bolt Aaaaaaaggghhhhh!!!!!!
Thanks for the video. Just an FYI, I was to get the back screw off using a wobble on the socket.
I removed all screws but the back one and then just grabbed both sides of the housing towards the back where the bolt was and twisted either side up and down until it snapped the plastic off. Final reinstall isn't loose without it. Also for the hard to get at bolt that faces down. I put the 8mm socket on one of those adapters for an electric drill. Then took a 1/4 inch ratcheting wrench and put it over that adapter. Allowed me to easily remove and reinstall that screw. Took me 15-20 minutes since i didn't have to carve up the insulation and struggle with the rear bolt.
Ha good to know because I snapped that housing too! No way in hell I was gonna be able to loosen that thing!
Just want to pop in and say thanks. These two videos guided me though my repair. You saved me a couple hundred dollars, notto mention the summer DFW heat.
No problem, glad to hear it saved you some $, garages are getting expensive these days...
Outstanding share and time saver..thank you so much!!!!
Antonio Andre your welcome, glad it helped!
Thank you! Very informative, that screw! I have small hands and I still couldn't reach it, it had so much insulation back there, but after 1 hr I got it. Didn't put it back (keeps fingers crossed) and saved $200.
Your welcome, you'll be fine without that one screw back in, there are a lot of mechanics who don't put it back and I have heard stories of people simply breaking the "ear" off the housing that holds that screw to remove the blower because they would rather not fight to get it out...
I found that the screw went back in much easier & faster then it came out!
Thank you very much. Very helpful. Good thing I had garage to work in (-35 below wind chill today). That back bolt gone lol.
Curious if you chose to not install the rear 8mm to avoid the possible future stress.
What was everyone's initial problem that led you to change the blower motor? Presently the a/c will not blow at all on front system, but blow perfectly fine for the rear a/c. The front will work intermittently, but mostly doesn't work lately.
What the connector plugged in next to the blower motor connector
I'm only a couple minutes in and I had a couple questions? Did you test the resister first to ensure it wasn't the problem? Did you go ahead and replace the resister when you replaced the motor as well since the resister isn't that much?
I did not, I just replaced the motor as it was making noise before failure. It never had a problem after.
@@E4EonEbay Gotcha, thanks.
The back screw on the housing took me 2 hours to get. I ended up getting a flexible extension. It's impossible without that. The module took me 3 minutes to do. Once I got that last screw out i was able to replace the motor and put everything back together in 20 minutes. I left the back screw out. The screw that tightens downward took a few minutes some I don't have a set of ratcheting wrenches. That would have helped.
that back screw is a B*@!*!*
piratesam007 I've never spent so much time trying to get one screw/bolt out of a location. I wouldn't charge less than $1,000 to do that job again. It's near impossible.
One person suggested that after removing all but the back screw that you just pull hard on the cover and break off the tab and leave the screw in place. I think I will try that approach when I do mine.
Yeah the screw was a bitch for sure, gotta love vehicle engineers who think this shit up when designing cars. I can visualize them being like "how can we make this piece or that piece impossible to service" when sitting around their tables discussing new model designs.
My blower motor quit working on my 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. I cant find a video on my car, but everything looks the same.
The procedure would be the same, the screws and what not might be in different locations. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I did that back nut by using 8mm socket with extension and universal socket. Oh! Yeah Milwaukee ratchet
Hey is it mandatory to take your battery out to do this ? Or will it be safe to just have your car off and you can start working like that ?
I didn't disconnect the battery but if you have concerns just remove the negative battery cable while working on it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
My fan is cutting out periodically. Seams to come and go if I turn my steering wheel. Any ideas on what is going on with my fan?
Not sure how it would be related to your steering wheel position, if it goes out and you can take a solid object and whack the cover that is up under the passenger foot area and it turns back on your fan is probably on its way out. You gotta figure these cars are like 12+ years old now so moving parts like fan motors are gonna start needing replacement
Thanks for the quick reply.
@@Mrdennismalloy your welcome, thanks for watching and commenting! PS if you do the replacement, don't stress about getting that back screw back in, I replaced the fan on my second one of these vans now, left it out, no rattles
The back screw is not necessarily needed when re-installing the motor's diverter cover. Save yourself must time, reinstall without it, nothing will go wrong, it'll work perfect. It took me almost 2 hours to finish.
Dude please provide vehicle year in description.
looks exactly the same as my 2005 chrysler pacifica set up, what a pain in the arse to get that back screw. this thing was way over-engineered.
Im using a thin hack saw blade & just cutting that back screw, with 5 other screws I'll take my chances it'll all hold together enough to eliminate that screw from the mix without having to rip out the carpet & jute backing. good ideas here though
judging by comments, no one seems to be aware that breaking off the back screw tab is the standard removal procedure.
DeathTongueOpus LOL, " this is how we fix things in Russia!!!! "
A, russian stuff rarely needs fixed, and B, If it does, a hammer and screwdriver are all you need
Minor point: You should edit the description to include a link to part 2 -- makes it easier to find.
That said, thanks for the great videos. I tried following the directions in a well-known and popular repair manual (I won't name names, but it rhymes with "Hilton"), but in my opinion, it doesn't do a very good job of explaining certain aspects of the job (like where to find, and how to access, that last screw). Your video did the trick.

That last screw in the back is driving me insane lol. Rest of them easy. I give so much more respect to mechanics now. This sucks ahhah.
