- BMW 5 Series e60/e61 Blower Motor Squeaking FIXED!
Hello and welcome to another Bimmer Fixer video.
In this video I will show you how to resolve the problem of the squeaking blower motor and fan. If you are getting a squeaking and screeching sound coming from the dash when the blower fan is on then in 99% of cases its just the fan motor running a little dry and needs a clean and lubricating. In this video I will show you how to remove the blower fan and show you how to clean and oil it.

Thanks, mate! The squealing was so bad i got a headache. Now everything is fixed
@Bogdan-Claudiu You're very welcome glad you managed to get it fixed! 😀 👍🏻
Awesome videos thanks
@KUKO Hi thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it 😃 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much! help me a lot
@William Ma Hi, you're very welcome. I'm glad I could help! 👍🏻
Brilliant video, thanks mate, helped out a lot. I say just replace it if you’re going though all the trouble.
@Nick A Hi Nick, thank you for your comment its greatly appreciated. Yes I totally agree not worth the risk of that noise coming back. I think it was only because I didn't have time for a new one to arrive before a really long drive and I knew that noise would have driven me crazy so just oiled it instead. Thanks again Nick!
My cabin AC/Heater is makes a ticking noise it speeds up when you increase or decrease the fan speed. It sounds like there's something catching the fan. I've blown some compressed air down the vents to see if it would dislodge anything, but it still persists. Do you reckon this method would also work in this case or could be something else? Perhaps it's the small fan on the back of the CCC unit?
@davebeastly That sounds like something has worked its way down to the fan possibly from the intake under the hood. I've know for a single leaf to cause this. It might be worth having a look probably won't even have to remove the fan completely you should be able to see any obstructing in the fan. If you could get a vacuum hose in there too that could help you out especially if it's a leaf or small debris. Give the fan a little wiggle too just to make sure the bearings in the fan haven't started to fail. 👍🏻
@@TheBimmerFixer When you removed it I wondered if maybe even one off those fins had come loose as you said it's quite brittle. Also wanted to ask as wasn't clear in the vid, Is it possible to run the blower with the CCC unit removed so it's possible to see and hear things better?
@davebeastly quite possibly yes definitely worth checking also. You can run it you just need to connect wire connections back together just please be careful it's goes like food blender!
Does it need any computer setting after I replace the blower? If the answer is yes,I can’n do this because I don’t have the computer to do the setting.
Thank you for the sharing.and If you would like to answer my question,thank you again.
@jimmyju7313 Hi no need for a computer. 👍🏻 Thank you for the question! 🙂
@@TheBimmerFixer Thank you so much 👍
@jimmyju7313 you're very welcome! 👍🏻
My E60 just been dropped off this evening to my mechanic, I had the squeaking noise at very low fan speed, almost like a chirping noise. The last week Saturday the air pressure coming out of the fan was off, you could hear that it was struggling, then on Monday morning nothing at all, no heat no cold no AC coming out, turning the fan control on you can hear it doing its normal operation of opening the vents etc, but not a drop of air and no noise. I checked my fuses they all ok, so looks like it needs replacing. I have just gone 190k on my 525i, my luck the summer has started so I cant be driving about with the windows down and trying to cool down. Will get my car back tomorrow all done.
Same problem here, did you replace the motor or what fixed it?
@@Zedifier had to replace the motor, was a pig of a job to get sorted, but everything working full speed afterwards. i just hit 200k miles today, smooth driving as always!
@@billcarson9565 Ah alright I might have to do the same, thanks for answering and sounds good my man
hey mate , i wanted to ask if you have come across the blower motor to not go above 4th speed position , do you know any solution to this or is the module on the blower itself causing this . thank you
@kaloyanyordanov1395 Hey mate, yeah your right it sounds like the blower motor resistor has failed. You won't believe it but I think mine failed completely today too.
@@TheBimmerFixer Wow no way 🤣, anyway I changed mine 3 years ago and it’s gone bad . I guess both of us will have to disassemble the whole dash once again to replace stupid blower motor or module . Have fun !😁
@kaloyanyordanov1395 Mate when it happened I wanted to cry 🤣. I hate taking that bloody thing out 🤣 thanks and you 🤣
Hello, some times after a few hours of driving there is no air coming out, summer and winter.The blower works but no air coming out.The next day is working normaly, that happens only on long trips.Any idea what could be? E61
@FearOfGeorge Hi George, that sounds like the flaps that control the air flow from the blower are getting stuck. There could be a stretched cable somewhere or the gearing that controls the flaps is wearing out. Are there any vents that don't stop working? Or do you get no air from any vents?
@@TheBimmerFixer Thank You for your answer. I dont get any air at all. During summer e.g. it get hot inside. Any idea where are those flaps?
@FearOfGeorge That must be horrible. The first set of flaps are just above the fan. There is a little motor that turns them, you can't quite see it in the video but it just above my hand. If you Google it there are some more detailed photos. I'm trying to think what else it could be.
Be careful not to drop any screws in the open vent, I've just done that and am extremely upset
Update, the vents go under the seats and a simple magnet on a stick will help remove it
my AC not working in max power but when i wait 30-60 sec it work why is that?
@ahmed heshmat could be a number of things my first guess would be low pressure in the system.
What about spraying oil into vent so it drags it into the motor, i know you will get a smell for a while, save a bit of time? But won't be as good i know.
@Lock Monster Yeah I was also thinking this too. I was thinking of maybe attaching a small diameter hose to the straw on the oil can like WD40 and sending that down to the motor if. It comes back I will definitely try it. If you do give it a go could you let me know how you get on and if it works👍🏻
@@TheBimmerFixer I might remove pollen filters and try squirting oil in there with fan on low?
@Lock Monster Definitely worth a shot might have to use a good amount.
How long did it take you?
@Leonardo Brown Hey buddy, if i wasn't filming about a hour
👍
@Gladiateur Thank you for the thumbs up!! 😃👍🏻
you're welcome I live in France and I have the same BMW E60 model with N52 engine.😊
Amazing! I love the e60 with the N52 engine. Do you like it too?
@@TheBimmerFixer Yes I do, c'est dernier 6L atmospherique de Bmw ,
@@TheBimmerFixer it is the last atmospheric 6L from Bmw,😅
To be clear you never removed any foot well trim or glove box etc? That side piece you slid out to get the motor clear slid back in ok?
@billymonkey111 Yeah thats correct didn't have to remove anything in the foot well or glove box. Yeah it went back fine it's a bit fiddly but definitely achievable 👍🏻
@@TheBimmerFixer many thanks, this video has given me hope! Very sick of the screeching noise - but relieved to find out it was my blower motor and not my turbo!
@billymonkey111 You're very welcome. I feel your pain its the worst noise.
That’s a complete nightmare
@Streets UK Yeah definitely! I was putting it off for years but I was getting asked so much and the noise was driving me crazy so it had to be do.
Why not let not here the noise it makes? Before repairation
@Tinus001 I did but unfortunately due to an editing error you couldn't hear it in the video so I didn't include it.
A blower motor noise is unique to any other noise in the vehicle. The sound is is only heard while the blower is on and is usually heard on low speed at first but can vary with fan speed too.
if you demonstrate the actual noise before you do your work. Interial noise is very hard to identify.
@Groot 200 Hi, yeah sorry about that the footage of the noise didn't upload and went missing during editing 🤦🏻♂️ The best way to described the noise is a sqeak/ high pitch squeal coming from the centre of the dash and bottom of the windshield.
@@TheBimmerFixer I am having a hard time to locate a noise right under the steering wheel. It seems like thin two metals are tickling each other when I do put on gas lightly. But it didn't happen all the time. I wish I take that noise down and keep my 2008 E60 528 forever!
@Groot I had the the same noise on my 2005 e46. Does it do it when turning the steering wheel? It must be very annoying!
@@TheBimmerFixer This sound is not related with steering wheel angle. All what I know for now is this noise comes and goes shortly right after having a cold start. Coming weekend I will work on this issue and if I locate the problem, I will leave message here!
@Groot 200 Ah ok I see. Yes please any information would be great for other to see too.
