Thanks for helping me get this damn'd thing changed! Word to the wise...check the wires on the pigtail that's connected to it! 2 of the wires on my pigtail were melted and burnt! A 1/2 an hour job took me an hour and a half to complete. Had to replace pigtail and re-wire but all is good!

Thank you for this video. Experiencing the same issues with my trailblazer and really hoping this is the issue. Seems like a very easy fix (especially with your detailed video).

I changed this on my Trailblazer and the blower stayed on even when the car was off. Could you tell me what to do?

Love your video, I'm going to do what you just did to my 2002 4x4 envoy. Now, only the heat is coming out. Do you think this will fix my problem not having cool Air? Please help me. Thank you for your video

@PhillipsVision Жыл бұрын

The blower motor will usually affect the switch settings. If the switches are working fine but just the a/c not working, it could be the compressor.

@Steve-ck3yf 2 жыл бұрын

Does it also effect the vent selector once it burns out? I hear no movement when I change selector from floor to defog ect.. & no air started on 5 the 4 died slowly until nothing?

Followed step by step, but my 4 isn't working still. I thought it was the resistor so i took it back and installed another. But same thing. What could that be? I mean the others work so not the biggest deal. Just wonder could i have done something wrong?

@mariebecerra1352 2 жыл бұрын

Is the wire to the resistor get hot while you turn on the ac

my blower ain't working on no settings 1 through 5 but also my lights on my air button and the light on my rear defroster ain't lighting up either I checked all the fuses in both boxes under the back seat and under the hood so I wonder if this still would be my problem ?

@PhillipsVision 2 жыл бұрын

It could be the Resistor, but could also be the blower motor itself

My HVAC controls are automatic, which I hate. Do you know if it's possible to remove them, and swap them out for manual controls like your car has?

@PhillipsVision Жыл бұрын

I’ve never tried it, but I’m sure it’s possible with the right engineering and knowledge

@user-yx7gz7gg4c Жыл бұрын

I did mine worked for like 10 min . But once started driving 5 stopped working then 4 , and now it only works on 1 to 4. . Weird smell is coming out too. Tried the Ac pro ting and wouldn't take it. Any thoughts that can help .. thanks

@PhillipsVision Жыл бұрын

The smell could be caused by a dirty cabin filter or a leak in your a/c system. The failing controls could be a bad or poor quality blower motor resistor

@ryanlutton8193 8 ай бұрын

#5 is on a separate circuit. It's fused separately. That fuse would blow if your blower motor is drawing too many amps.
