My ac doesn't get all the way hot in winter and doesn't get all the way cold in summer. What's going on?

Awesome thank you!

that's horrific omg

Years ago I had that problem and it was the wire Hardness burned need to replace and blower motor and fix the issue. Easy fix best of luck

and thank you!

and thank you

Friday, October 20, 2023 ☁⛅☁ It's 3 months later. So I expect you already found the problem and fixed it. With a blower motor, the windings are coated with shellac. So when the bearing fails, the fan stops spinning, but electricity is still going to it. So the windings get hot and start smoking! 🔥Then you see smoke, but inside the cab. This will also make the blower motor resistor get hot and fail. But you had smoke coming from vents under the hood, outside the cab. I'm not familiar with pickup trucks. So my best guess is: 1: The smoke from the blower motor traveled through vents and got under the hood. This is just a guess. I actually don't know if this is possible. 2: You had two problems at the same time! The failed blower motor was making smoke, and something else under the hood was making smoke! I replaced Debra's blower motor last night. She's an old friend, and she has a 2009 Ford Edge. The old blower motor seized, which also made the blower motor resistor fail. Surprise, there are two types of blower motor resistors for this car! There is one for automatic heating and one for manual heating. So I had to buy a second resistor, and return the first one. The old blower motor absolutely stunk, from the burned shellac. It had a strong smell of ashes. Also, I find a lot of bargains, shopping for car parts on Ebay. I bought a blower motor for $38, plus tax. The cheapest price at O'Reilly was $66. Hopefully this will help you out. I wish you many happy miles with your new old Ford pickup, Anthony 😀

No, you gotta clean out the other coil under all that metal, mine did the same just cleaned it with coil cleaner , works good now

Think of how someone whistles with a blade of grass in between their fingers as they blow. You have debris or more likely a duct door or plastic ductwork that has shifted and the air moving past this deformity or obstruction, creates the whistles. Partially opened duct doors (as ya switch from floor to face to windshield defrost) happen due to debris, but if the car is older, it’s more likely a vacuum line leak issue

Advise replace both they work together when 1 is operating so that away in the future you don't have any problems when in ac/blower motor. Mode

Indeed, 210°F is normal. The burnt smell might be from the blower motor. Check it and the wiring, and clear any debris. I would also look at the engine and see if you notice anything unusual.

@@easyautofix thanks for replying, I opened up the mud cover and found couple drip of oil so there's a leak somewhere and the car has only 53K miles for a 2018 car. I used to think highly of mazda but after this incident, I am not sure anymore.

Mine to,the wires are getting hot because of the blower fan on my Tahoe bout to replace it

English please

Sounds more like a resistor to me personally

Probably your resistor. Easy fix.

Mine does the same thing! I’m trying to figure out if I should replace the resistor or the motor or both. 😅 it also does rattle on the higher setting when it does decide to come on.

Your airflow will decrease with broken blades. If you want better airflow I would buy a new one.

It is a tight fight but you'll have to slide the seat all the way back, also there are three bolts that hold the blower motor on start with the hardest one first because if you don't you will have to fight with the weight of the blower motor and it being the hardest bolt to get to is a bad combination and headache you can avoid just buy starting with the hardest bolt first. But the absolute first thing you want to do after moving the seat back if you have power seats after that is done, for everyone why do you have power seat or not anytime you're doing something with electronics or electricity on your vehicle disconnect the battery before you give your ratchet the first turn!!!!! I cannot stress this enough!!!!! Second thing remove the cover that is over the blower motor, then start with the hardest bolt then move to the next hard bolt then the easy bolt but also hold the blower motor up you do not want that blower motor to come crashing down into your face!!!!!!! Then unplug the plugs! Then toss it to the side and grab the new one and pop it in to the hole and put the first bolt about half way in/ the easy one now move back to the hard one ( you did this to help hold the motor up and give you a little wiggle room to put it fully in it's place) now once it fully in it's place and the hardest bolt is all the way in push up on the motor and tighten up the hardest bolt then move to the easy bolt remember it's halfway in already and all you got to do is just tighten it up and also put the third one in and tighten it down make sure you tightened all three because if you did not it's going to vibrate loose and you don't want that now if you didn't connect your power connection and it's to where you can get to it from here go a head and hook it up, if not ( hook it up before you put in the hardest bolt at the beginning of the install - sorry I should have said something then) now hook your battery back up and don't start your car/truck/suv but just turn the key until the dash lights come on, now reach over and test your blower motor turn on the AC and the fan switch and you should have air and no loud noises this means you did it right! Go ahead and start your vehicle and check out your handy work 😊 now while you now have a let it run while you put your blower motor cover back on and put the seat back forward, then pick up all of your tools clean them/ wipe them down and put them up. As for the old blower motor I don't know if their is a core charge on them or not, if not please give it to someone who haul's scrap I know that it isn't much but to someone who haul's scrap it could mean the difference between a gallon of gas and something to eat or just a gallon of gas. Believe me I do know, in my area shred is $7.00 a 100lbs and aluminum cans is $0.30 cents a pound so every small bit dose add up! And this better than letting it go and sit in a landfill somewhere, at this right it'll be recycled!

Yes

did you fix it?

Depends on year make and model. A good average lifespan I’d say between 50k and 100k miles. I’ve had some go out before and after that on my cars. They just wear out after time or are built crappy

Japanese forever- European/American 5 years

Did you ever figure this out? Same is happening to mine.

I get a squeaking in the cabin and I thought I smelled burned rubber for a moment as well but it disappeared. The temperature was -38°C the morning it happened. Still squeaked when I drove home.

Did you figure out what the problem was?

@@sendit3251 Never figured that out, tried everything, i had collision with that vehicle and i still have that blower, old blower was end of his life but worked fine.

@@KuriVaiM did you ever figure out the problem? my ac won’t blow air at all. let alone warm or hot air. the blower motor wasn’t moving when i checked. but i don’t wanna buy a new one, pay to have it installed and it still not fix the problem. was it the relay switch?

@@highwayheroes1454 could be, maybe fuse is blown

@@KuriVaiM I checked the ac fuse. I had someone look at it briefly and he said the test light lit up so there is power going to the blower.

Blower motor, most of the time if it's the resistor it'll stop working all together.

Check your relay

did you ever figure out what the issue was. my blower motor isn’t moving at all but i don’t want to pay to get a new one installed and it still not fix the problem.

Me too 😂

Good tips😂😂

My 2013 ram has vibrations when AC on and a humming sound AND it smells like coolant

Same issue in my Chevy Cruze. Would love to know if this is the cause!

What exactly is vibrating? If it's your blower motor you need to get down there and tighten up the bolts

​@@TeamWinnieRacingmy friend I hate to tell you this but you have a coolant leak in your heater core or the hose just outside your heater core my buddy had the exact same problem and same vehicle
