Haha Current struggle, gotta kick the lower dash pretty hard to get some heat! Got the new one and about to instal!

@@aaronguest6579 it wasn't hard.

Some people mistake the engine for a mouse 😂

I too have had mice bedding in the filter compartment.

The mice and leaves get in through the back of the hood. I have replaced mine twice and about to be a third time on a 2008 Prius. Too bad Toyota couldn’t have attached it like some Camrys. A simple under the dash fit with no cage.

Wow good thing you found it before it started to smell

It's ridiculous! They screw up so many people.

That's awesome! I plan on making a super video in the next month about the battery. Crossing fingers on that one. It's never been done

@@eby6114 there's already a nice tutorial somewhere on KZfaq if you need guidance lol The part they didn't cover is swapping the computer parts from the old battery to the new battery.

@@RennieAsh ? Computer parts?

Lil Asian Grocery LLC controller or whatever is in there attached to the hybrid battery I had to swap to the new battery. It’s mostly nuts and bolts. Just be careful when attaching terminal wires.

@@RennieAsh Oh? Sorry the picture that popped up under your statement was of my blower replacement video this the confused answer

The power connector only fits one way. Very easy.

Did you rotate your blower. It sits in there specific.

Any word how you fixed this Chuck. I can't get it on either. Motor is in the right place

Grab a flashlight if your not already using one and inspect the two pieces. Make sure they're clean and compatible. A bent prong will not allow them to plug in as well.

It sounds ridiculous but if it's brushes for the electric motor are going out just slapping the glove box can jar it (the blower motor) into working temporarily. Usually if it's a relay only one of the speeds quit. You can also try other can speeds by removing it from auto and try slower speeds. If this restarts it then go ahead and replace the blower. They're cheap even buying it new.

I'd first just check the filter first. It seems like a design flaw but mine allowed a ton of tree debris to come in and there was probably at least a cup of dirt pollen etc in front of my filter

@@eby6114 The first thing I checked was the filter. But my car is garaged, so no leaves and its clear. Even so I am sure the loud moaning is something mechanical. But man your response was really fast. So thank you very much!

@@asyouwish9567 with the filter open can you tell if the blower fan is rubbing something. Spin it by hand at first

@@eby6114 Problem is it will go a week and nothing, then it goes off all the time. The issue is more likely to happen if I brake pretty hard. This seems to take some energy from this fan. I didn't see anything wrong with the fan. At one point I tried some WD40 but doubt it did anything. Some say its a baffle that opens and closes the vents. Its happening more often. When it is consistant I will open it up again.

Gracias amigo.

Are you looking for heat or cold? If it's heat sounds like your electric pump isn't working but when the engine is on a mechanical pump is moving water. If it's cold your looking for let me know

@@eby6114 hi thank you for taking the time. Yes I need cold when the engine runs. I have to drive with windows open

Yeah I think your right that the actuator door motor is probably stuck. It's not an uncommon problem. You can try to access it and free it up manually. With the engine not running coolant isn't circulated, door is still open. When the motor runs circulating the coolant then you can feel it. For temporary you might manually open/close the door with a lawnmower throttle control cable for like 10 bucks or so. Whatever works best for your situation. Amazon has some nice looking ones. Not sure what an actuator motor cost. I just priced a idle control bearing parts for 267.00 before tax. I decided to just replace the bearing for 50.00 why are people so greedy these days

@@eby6114thanks again and I agree there is too many greedy folks out there. My car is over 17 years old! Will the dashboard need to be taken apart? Could it not be a faulty compressor not running off the engine?

@@alphaomega7868 I believe it's behind the climate control module...the heat AC controls. It's attached to the air tubes. AC compressor work off electric motor not engine motor. You wouldn't want to mess with that anyway. I know some people take apart the flap motor lube it and all is well. You might climb into the floorboard with the car on and change the hot cold mechanism to see if you can hear the mechanical noise of it to pin point it's location. It should take much effort to remove the cover of the climate heater AC cover lower dash area.

Thanks for those tips. Helps a lot.

It should be to the right of the blower in that group of computer boxes
