Lady you are a saint. I was told it would be $1300. I had paid 1400 already, to fix the main system but they wanted$1300 more for the rear blower fix. I said don't go further. I searched many videos about Acura mdx. This is the video I wanted. I really want to say thanks.
Thank you! I took out our blower motor that was screaching and cleaned it and lubed it and now it works great! Mechanic said it would be a $1500 bill to replace a compressor that was making the noise when it was the blower the whole time.
Lady, You should check the other side (maybe you did already). I open the other side of the console searching for another matter and for my surprise I saw de the mesh-filter of the rear ac motor completely clogged with dust, no wonder why these motors go bad, I cleaned it and now rear air flow is much better. Thank you for posting, great tutorial.
TheLuismondo yes mine was completely clogged and the rear air was almost none existent, a friend of my mine told me about his so i checked mine and vacuumed it and bingo it was like brand new but now i believe the motor ia going out because there are times where it squeals.
The filter plug will not make the motor goes bad. When the filter plug the static pressure of the air system goes down this in turn will have a lighter load on the motor which mean the motor run on lower ampacity. The motor just goes bad. Thats it.
Thanks for this video young lady. I looked everywhere for a video on how to replace the rear blower. I had already replaced the front unit and eventually I just decided to give it a go on the rear blower. Wish I had seen your video even though it became pretty obvious once I got in there. I understand that dealerships have a lot of overhead but the prices I was quoted were just unbelievable for the time involved.
Thank you for posting this and for detailing the socket / screwdriver options I'd need to do this repair. It took a bit of searching to find this as there are lots of videos on how to replace the resistor, lots on different ways to change out the front blower, but hardly any for how to swap out the rear blower motor. I went to a wreckers this morning, pulled out the front and rear blower motors from a 2003 Pilot (pulled the resistor as well just in case) and put them in to my 2007 Pilot. For much less than the price of a new single blower, both of mine now run silent and push a ton more air.
On the REAR blower motor make sure they are the exact same the replacement as the oem. I purchased a well running brand new one off Amazon for $50 and it’s about a 1/2 taller so the rear blower motor COVER doesn’t fit back over the new blower. Don’t think it’s an issue but if that’s bother some to all. I’d go OEM brand OR FourSeasons brand they are more expensive but are perfect fit.
thank you so much for this great video. I have needed to fix my rear AC blower for a few years now and will look to do this soon. your video made it very manageable.
Been busy tuning up my 05 pilot. Haven't checked mine. But I sure will. Might have to replace my front fan. Not enough power pushing air. Great job 👏 thanks.
Can confirm this exact same replacement part works for a 2004 mdx. It is a much tighter fit when pulling the used motor in and out. There are just more bundles and wires, but it takes the same part, and the 3 screws holding the blower motor are in the same place. Use a star tip screwdriver in mdx, such as a Kobalt.
wow i got a new blower for 47 bucks i'm replacing resisters as well but good job doing it yourself saves a ton of money and auto shops are like las vegas way over priced lol
I can never be accused of being handy; but i just pulled this off on a 2005 Honda Pilot in less than 5 minutes. Thanks for the instructions and what is your Venmo handle; would love to buy you a beer.
thanks for posting this. I think I saw a Honda service procedure for this and they talked about removing the entire console. I have a 2005 my fan motor especially in the winter will sometimes make a loud screeching sound. One thing I heard was the duct could be filling with water and not draining causing it to freeze. I'll look for a drain hole. Being the cheap skate that I am I'll try to clean and lube my blower motor. It looks like this is a 30 minute job so its worth the gamble. thanks again
I had a squeaky rear blower motor. It really screeched horribly when we braked. Was quoted $850 to replace. So I ordered a used part instead. When I removed the filter screen from the driver's side I noticed it wasn't screeching anymore. So I bent the screen outward a bit, replaced it, and it hasn't been acting up since. I have noticed condensation in my system as well. Definitely need to find how to get that drained.
Jeff Justice what happened with yours? My 2005 does the same, screeches horribly when I brake. I’ve replaced the blower mower once, so that is working. I can also hear water gurgling around under the console now.
My second cousin wants to send you flowers….. it took us five minutes. Garage thief told him $1400 to replace. Amazon $41 for motor and we replaced transistor to be safe as well $11 He said it works better than when he first acquired the car. Send address for your flowers. ❤️
You are amazing! Can I ask you a question? Our 2007 Honda Pilot, the air conditioner blows hard only if you hit the fan box that is just below the passenger seat, Should I change the front blower motor too?
Even 100 something is too much. Is it the same blower that's up under the glove box? Or is this a different size/part number then that one? I can't seem to find a blower motor that is specifically, "Rear". How did you know it wasn't just the transistor?
Great Googlymoogly, I tested the transistor before checking motor and also the fact I replaced that a year earlier. The rear is a different model number. I purchased mine from Advanced Auto Parts.
Thank you so much for this video , my question is I already changed the fan blower under the glove box because making noise , now I noise came back a gain , it look like the other fan going bad like the one you change , but I still have air coming from rear but the noise comes and go , do you think its dirty needs clean? Thanks again.
I know this is an old video but thank you!! I learned tons your the best ❤😊
Thanks Fury. Remind hubby how fortunate he is to have a wife who's inclined to fix things and help others to learn. God bless.

Leo Oliver thanks! I searched for a video for this also and non for my year and model. Glad it worked out for ya.
You're a Rockstar for making this video! Appreciate you looking out for every one and documenting how to replace the rear blower motor.
Thank you! I took out our blower motor that was screaching and cleaned it and lubed it and now it works great! Mechanic said it would be a $1500 bill to replace a compressor that was making the noise when it was the blower the whole time.
Thank you so much you saved me hundreds doing it my self with aftermarket parts. You are the best
Lady,
You should check the other side (maybe you did already).

TheLuismondo thanks. I did have both panels removed but no dust in mine. The motor was just old.
TheLuismondo yes mine was completely clogged and the rear air was almost none existent, a friend of my mine told me about his so i checked mine and vacuumed it and bingo it was like brand new but now i believe the motor ia going out because there are times where it squeals.

You are a badass! Thank you for the video, and I give you all the credit for helping all of us!

Just got my old rear blower fan removed. You made it easy to do with your step by step instructions. Thank you!!!

Dang girl! Kickin ass! Thanks for making this. Most useful replacement video I've found on this repair.
Kick freaking ass best repair video for the rear blower motor ! Excellent job !
Agreed!
Nice job.. Saved yourself a nice little chunk o' change there and you're a better mechanic than you think.Thanks for posting mom!!
Thanks for posting that part number! There's a ton of info about the main blower motor (under the dash) but not so much on this one.
Great job. Mine is out also. Now I know how to replace it. What an incredible lady!

Worked like a charm for my 2007 pilot.
Thank you so much.

Great video. Good tip about checking the resistor. AND thanks for showing the part #. Good Job.
Thank you! For once, something relatively easy to replace on this Honda! Excellent video and well done!
Great video. Save me a ton of money. Way to go girl really appreciate the post. Simple fix and can’t say thanks enough.
Thank you for posting this!
Thanks helped a lot, changed out the resistor and still didn’t work , maybe the blower motor will do the job
Thank you so much you are very smart woman.
This video helped me a lot.

mike n thanks for viewing. I always try to see if I can do it myself first before forking out that much cash to someone else.

Amazon $41 for motor and we replaced transistor to be safe as well $11
He said it works better than when he first acquired the car.
Send address for your flowers. ❤️
Awesome.
Awesome video! Thanks for posting.
Thank you very much! My black lab thanks you too as he is the rear passenger on a daily basis.
Thank you very much!
Impressive, young lady! Thank you!
Thank you that was very helpful.
You are amazing! Can I ask you a question? Our 2007 Honda Pilot, the air conditioner blows hard only if you hit the fan box that is just below the passenger seat, Should I change the front blower motor too?
Excelent video, thanks for that save me a lot money
Also how do I know the resistor is bad and no the motor?? Thank you so much I can hug you
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Hello! How do I find out which part is good for my 2003 honda pilot?
Nice job ,thanks
Wow great vid , wish there was more woman like you ..
great video!!
So you access it from the side in front under console not from rear?
Yes. You access it from the passenger side in front.
ia the front blower the same as the rear one? cause i cant find the rear one only show the front
The video is for the rear blower motor. The front one is actually under your glove box.
Thxs god bless.
Even 100 something is too much. Is it the same blower that's up under the glove box? Or is this a different size/part number then that one? I can't seem to find a blower motor that is specifically, "Rear". How did you know it wasn't just the transistor?
Great Googlymoogly, I tested the transistor before checking motor and also the fact I replaced that a year earlier. The rear is a different model number. I purchased mine from Advanced Auto Parts.
clearly you did not watch the video, and evidently you have no business working on your own car
Where can I order the rear blower motor??
gracias senorita
Thank you so much for this video , my question is I already changed the fan blower under the glove box because making noise , now I noise came back a gain , it look like the other fan going bad like the one you change , but I still have air coming from rear but the noise comes and go , do you think its dirty needs clean? Thanks again.
Hey! If you can here it making a loud noise then the motor is going out. I had the same issue before it completely stopped blowing air.
Anyone have the part#? Thanks!
Not a mechanic here either. I just pretend...
T27 torx lol
Thank you !
Great vid!
