Honda Accord Blower Motor, Blower Motor Power Transistor (Resistor) and Cabin Air Filter Replacement 2004 (2003-2007 Similar). In this video I show how to replace the blower motor, blower motor power transistor (also referred to as a blower motor resistor) and the cabin air filter on a seventh generation Accord. This is a good DIY project that can save some money by doing it yourself. The exact vehicle in this video is a 2004 Honda Accord EX 2.4L Sedan. 2003-2007 Accords should be similar. Enjoy!

Today I installed an aftermarket blower motor and resistor both purchased from Amazon into a 2013 Honda CR-V. Honda has discontinued these parts for my model year probably because their ten year parts commitment is done. I had to remove a corner piece of the duct to access the resistor. The job was pretty straightforward and everything is working well.

Just because the blower motor isn't turning doesn't mean that it's bad!!! I had the same problem with my car. I decided to test my blower motor by hooking two wires from my car battery (one on the negative one on the positive) to the two posts on the blower motor. The blower motor still works!!! It's the RESISTER!! Saved me over $105.. Always check everything!!

This was just a replacement video (I have diagnostic videos on blower motors), but I always recommend testing before replacing. A simple test light and jumper wires (or a PowerProbe) can give direction pretty quickly. Thanks for the input.

On my 05 coupe the blower motor was held in by Phillips head screws, not star bit. This is mine and does not necessarily represent everyone. But I spent 20 mins searching for my ratchet screwdriver that could swap out bits when I didn't need to. My fault for not looking first. Oh and if you're going to swap the air filter you can take the glove box out and remove your problems with clearance to get the resistor out. Hope this helps somebody. I'm glad my vents are working again.

I own 2 Accords, 2006 400K miles and a 2007 270K miles and I replace cabin filters 3 times a year for each one of them. I live in the North East and we have different kinds of tree leaves that make their way to the filter. Since the airflow goes down, the cabin filter catches more debris comparing to engine air filter. I always have my vacuum cleaner ready in case the cabin filter is stuffed and the debris falls down in the blower.

Nice video. You tested the transistor and it seems to be working fine. You should just leave it. It either works or it doesn't. It is not a wear item. When my blower motor was worn, it placed a heavy load on the speed control module. As a result, it heated it up and burned the thermal fuse. I just opened it up and replaced the thermal fuse inside. It also burned the fuse in the engine compartment. Transistor works differently than a resistor. The transistor turns off and on (PWM) to reduce the blower speed. It does not bleed it as heat. The heat is produced from the inefficiency of turning it off and on. A resistor resists the flow of electricity and radiates it as heat.

@BigDog50001 4 жыл бұрын

The transistor works hand in hand with the blower motor to control the speed, not only do the controls wires go into the transistor but so do the blower motor power wires. I have seen too many times where a bad transistor looks like it is functioning properly but has damaged the motor and if you only replace the motor it will go out again very quickly after replacing it. This is why I typically replace both at the same time. And it certainly does generate heat when it is doing its job, a lot of it, which is why that heat needs to go somewhere (bled off into the air stream). Heat is energy and if the energy (in the case battery voltage at the blower motor) isn't being used by the blower motor (when it is turning at a lower speed) then it needs to go somewhere.

Thanks for the video. So many places charge a ton for this. I know my Honda dealer wanted $681 but believe that includes parts. I even called Pep Boys and they wanted I think $400 for parts and nearly close to $600 with replacing it. I see parts so much cheaper on the site you suggested. They do not have the part for the back of the assembly but might sell it separately as I do not know. It is amazing how much money places want for this. I would still have it done though as though it looks simple I would still want some one else doing it. I do not have much patience so would probably break a few items along the way.

I was watching another video of a guy replacing the Resistor only in a newer car but still and older vehicle maybe about 2006. It was funny in the video it showed so much space that he did not have to use the small screw driver. What I found out after dropping the panel that you need to is that the car has a side panel that he seems to have removed but did not state this in the video. I guess it has some screws and not sure what kind to remove this. I was so surprised and freaked out when I saw how mine was. I still have yet to replace mine but I did buy the parts. One they have a newer part for the Resistor that has the heart now and which has a 3 year warranty. That one says it is better then OEM but not how. At least the one you suggested states how. For my car it will go for weeks blowing nice cool air and then stop and some times will start again when I get the car at highway speeds it will start to blow cool air all over again. It has kept me from replacing the parts but now it is getting very hot out so know I will need to replace them soon.

Hi there.. I just bought a Honda accord diesel estate MK 7 2005 ) steering wheel on the right hand side!!). I noticed that the pax side heating works properly in all modes but the driver's side gives some very light heating (nothing compare to the pax side). I did the following: Hot water valve (engine compartment) removed, checked and refitted... works properly Both actuators removed check and refitted.. both work properly. The groove of the driver's side actuator (the problem side) was also tested manually, from what I can hear the flap connected works properly too but engaging the groove manually (without the actuator refitted).. doesn't solve the issue!! Any ideas as to why is happening this? thanks

Glad to hear you recommend TYC as I've had good experience with their headlight assemblies (on Hondas) plus they're half the price as OEM. Just curious, it appears that Honda superseded the blower motor/fan in 2013 but not sure what changed other than the wiring connector. Honda says the original p/n was 79311-tr6-a71 but superseded by 80030-TR0-305. Many sites say to match connectors. Have you ran into the "wrong" connector ?

@BigDog50001 3 жыл бұрын

Superseded parts can mean Honda updated the part to perform better or to save costs (among other things), or it can be a new parts manufacturer was selected to make the part (many times this is the case), but the specs and wiring connections should not really change as far as fitment on vehicle. Trim levels, country where it was manufactured, coupes and sedans can all have different parts numbers (and wiring connections) and that is where aftermarket parts makers/sellers sometimes get it wrong and it can cause confusion.
