Thank you for the help. I am 55 year old single female. I did not have hundreds of dollars to send my car to the shop. I put in a new blower fan all by myself thanks to your information.... I am proud of myself and only had to spend 40 bucks for the fan.
No problem! Glad the videos are helpful!!!
Teresa Smith good job! I’m a 12 yr old and very impressed
Hahaha wtf
That's excellent Teresa!
Awesome Theresa! Nice work!
THIS RIGHT HERE is what the internet is for... people helping people! Thanks Chris, your videos are still helping us every day!
I've been turning wrenches for 55 years, for a young man you explain yourself quite well. Good video.
Thank you so much for posting these videos I Am A 42-year-old single female with little to no mechanical knowledge LOL 😆 I mean I can change a Tire and Oil but that's about it... Being only a week after Christmas & a legit single mother (kids father passed away) & my oldest birthday in less than 2 weeks every penny i can scrape up comes out to be less than $100 and had me feeling pretty bummed & stressed especially since temps dropped to extreme lows 2 days ago. All i was hoping n praying for was a fair shot at an attempt to not only provide my kids with a warm vehicle to school each morning but also 1 their mother could actually see out the windshield of bcuz it had become down right dangerous with the freezing 🥶 Temps windshield wasn't thawing no matter how long I "warmed" the car up😔feeling almost defeated I gave it 1 last shot n started googling and there u were!! My saving grace!!! Thank u so much for posting these videos!!! Fixing my cars blower motor as we speak!! U rock!! Keep the awesome content coming!!💚
almost 5 years later, this tutorial is still helping me out. thank you !! keep up the good work. im a big fan of your channel
Glad to hear!
ChrisFix what a legend still liking and hearting comments after 5 years
6 years here and I'm glad I encountered this video :)
just a fan not a Air conditioner
I love the way you talk. You have such a chill inflection that it makes me feel like it’ll all work out.
Same!
some men get the job done /figured out -you can count on them...it's nice. :)
The way he talks kind of reminds me of SteveMRE1989
Yes, quite deceiving.......
was gonna mention the same thing
8 years later you're still helping me in the frigid Utah winter!!!
Chris. As usual, you have the most clear, quick, and helpful information out there. It's such a treat to see such casual excellence. We just moved to Edmonton. It has been almost 40 below this last week, and my son has no heat in his car. Thank you for helping us to diagnose what was the problem!
welcome to Edmonton. what was causing the no heat situation? i'm having probs with my 98 jeep grand cherokee,
Me too, the heat is out in my 98 Cherokee as well 😮
Ik bro I live in Edmonton and it’s freezing in the winter and so hot in the summer
The dislikes are the mechanics losing there paycheck😂 thanks again Chris helped me alot
Glad the video was helpful!
I like too,people always ,make mistakes after they think they can do it,lucky is usually just boil the fuse, some may burnt the house,know is ok,you know what your mechanic replacing, but if part if electronic, fuel or brake,think about it before.
he spend many years to learn not just few minutes
Alan W i dont understand you at all
Yeah lol. Self helpers are taking from mechanics.
hunter lutz good one! Lol 😂 but you know what they still watched the video so it helps Chris Fix haha
YOU are the reason why I'm glad these types of videos are made on CZcams. Thanks for what you do and HOW you explain it so thoroughly and articulating 👍
Chris is the people's champion! He explains everything in everyday language and great video close ups of what he is explaining! Thanks for all your Fantastic videos Chris!
Thank you for taking the time to make your videos. I greatly appreciate it. I went through all the stuff you recommended and was able to troubleshoot my issues and fix it my self for an amazing cost of 0 dollars!
Gota love this guy. No nonsense. He knows his stuff.
No he dont
@@november_next6042 At least his grammar is correct...not like yours!😫
I’ve being watching Chris Fix videos for the last 1hr30min now while waiting for a delayed flight.
This is entertaining, and keeping me sane.
I'm glad you find the videos entertaining!
@@chrisfix this video was a lifesaver I thought I was going to end up spending possible thousands of dollars to get my heat fixed now because of this video it’s going to save me a lot I think the blend door actuator is not working because we cannot hear it open and close when we rotate the switch THANKS CHRIS FIX !!!!
Just imagine if you had a car!!
@@alan4sure Who is this comment for?
@@chadjay828 that's for Jack C 😆
Wow, this is absolutely the best video I have seen on diagnosing a heating problem. You were spot on. I found my problem with the blend door actuator. Somebody give this guy a reward! Amazing!
Chris, it's been 6 years since you posted this. And recently my car started taking forever to warm up the air now that's it's cold out. First thing I remembered was this video that I watched a good 3-4 years ago. I just wanted to say thank you! My car now has hot air blowing during these cold mornings/evenings! It turned out that my car was just low on anifreeze/coolant. Thankfully, it's all that the car needed. No, I don't have a leak, it just normal evaporation that exits from the reservoir. But it also shows how often I look under the hood, and this situation reminded me that it was past due that I checked under the hood. Thanks again!
This is seriously one of the best automotive tutorial videos I’ve seen. As someone without A lot of automotive experience, I often have a hard time figuring out which parts are which and videos are often either too dark or not clear enough to help. This was crystal clear and Now my heater is working again after a month of trying to figure it out on my own. Hooray!! My heater valve doesn’t look anything like the one in the video but your description and visuals were clear enough that I was able to locate mine and reattach the cable. Thank you.
That was probably the most helpful video I've ever seen on CZcams. Perfectly clear and comprehensive. Thanks so much!
My car about five months ago stopped blowing hot air. I floored it and it came back on and hadn’t stopped working ever again for five months until now. I tried flooring it over and over and it just wasn’t working. I can’t believe he mentioned revving your car might work lmao. Now I know my problem.
Great video bud. Clear, precise, and easy to understand. I will be sharing your CZcams channel with hundreds of people as I believe anyone will be able to follow your steps of how to help themselves. 👍👍👍
Love this video, its the only one that clearly cut to the point. As well as a variety of options.
Thanks!
wow heating my car is so complicated im just gonna redirect my exhaust into the cabin... cool vid tho
I dont think that's a good idea
Imagine missing the joke entirely.
r/wooosh
Dont know the definition of sarcasm now days ???
I hate when people cant get a fucking joke
All your videos are excellent, many of us could never afford to keep up with all repairs without them, great job !
As soon as I pulled up this video, my upstairs AC blew out. Thanks Chris
So complete...awesome. You sir are a fine teacher. This is weird...I own a Ford Ranger and a Chrysler Sebring of the same year as the ones used in Chris' videos. It's been like having my own personal tutor. It's saved me a bunch of time and money. Thanks Chris, you rock!
Lucky you
So, you did a pretty damn good on explaining how each of the components of the "H" AND "V" in the HVAC system works. As a mechanic myself, I'm impressed. Hell, you even learned me something! I didn't know about the use of a multimeter to check the coolant. Pretty 'cool'..... I saved your channel on my wife's account(this one) for when I'm not home.....
Thanks
Ur not a mechanic lol
It is a Male on a females account. But even so why exactly couldn't a woman or girl as you put it be a car mechanic? I work on my own cars just fine I mean really with some witts and common sense really it isn't that hard so long as you have the tools, parts, know how and will to do it. I mean my gosh this is the 21 century let's get off the girls can't do what guys do crap. I mean honestly.......... 🤐🙄🤯👩🔧👩🔧👩🔧
@@Westcoastmickey u didn't read the whole question you idiot!
There plenty of woman who are great mechanics and think it’s awesome
Thanks for the video. It is easily the most comprehensive and concise video I've seen that covers a number of possible causes and solutions for the no heat problem I'm troubleshooting at the moment. I replaced the heater core and blend door in my '97 Ford F150 and now there is no heat. I was already looking at the actuator under the dash and now I have even more useful info to determine the cause and I'm confident I can fix it without pulling the entire dash. Thanks again!
This is the first time that I have seen your work. It is clear and concise. Good Job! It recaps many things that I have learned over the years and adds more to the mix. Because of this, I have recommended this video in particular to my daughter. Like many young people her reaction was, "well, I have to go to the dealership for diagnostics, so why should I watch this?" What I told her and advice that I would give to anyone is that sometimes people lie. It is always a good idea to have some understanding of a situation before you go in.
This is an awesome video. Love how simple you make diagnosing potential problem rather than just guessing and throwing parts and money at it.
ChrisFix hey I just wanted to thank you for all your videos I have watched A LOT of them and helped me fix some things on my blazer. Just wanted to Thank you for making these videos it is much appreciated.
Chris is the man! Super informative, well spoken and great visual examples. Thanks buddy!
1:12 “wow” that made me laugh 😂
I like the way you present. Your explanation is clear and easy to understand. I feel as though I could jump right in and fix my car. Great job Chris
I don't understand why this video has dislikes. Great informative video!
Dont know why either!!
Are we looking at the same like bar? I'm seeing 99.99% likes vs 0.01% dislikes.
+Sadpants McGee But still, 180 dislikes is something.
Darude - Sandstorm Go to any youtube video with a high view count, and you're going to find downvotes. Such is the nature of the internet. Complaining that 0.01% of voters voted down makes about as much sense as lamenting about a single brown blade of grass in an otherwise completely green lawn.
+jdac22 Those haters are car mechanics of CHris fix City..They know people will fix there cars at home now ..
I haven’t even tried anything yet and I want to thank you on how great of a job explaining you do and how helpful your videos are!
Dude you gotta be the most informative youtube mechanic I've seen so far. Helped me a lot. Thanks man
Hey Chris this was an excellent informational video on how to diagnose a no heat problem in a vehicle. This was one of the best videos I've found with detailed instructions. Keep up the great work and God bless you and yours!
Great video .....now let's go fix mine.
I love the detailed explanation along with your follow-through. Many videos stop at one or two problems and those are what I usually have already tested by troubleshooting. I’m definitely going to follow your channel from now on!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for Ur explanation
A gauge in the middle doesn't always mean the thermostat is good. On the 97 ranger I used to have, the temperature sending unit was on the RADIATOR side of the thermostat. When the thermostat stuck shut, all the coolant was pushed into the overflow reservoir, what few pockets of coolant remained in the engine boiled like crazy, but the gauge never showed overheating. It only measured the cool water that was trapped between the radiator and the engine. That design flaw aside, the ranger was so well built that it lasted more than a year after that, and when I finally retired it (at 297,000) I drove it to the place where I traded it in.
Excellent teacher broken down and easy to understand with me having to keep my daughters 2005 dodge neon car going you are the best tutor. I've never made a comment on youtube before but ChrisFix you rock I'm definitely gonna tell everyone about. Keep up the good work us ladies that have to work on vehicles REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE YOU.
This video gave me a good idea of what was wrong with my 96 m edition miata ( water pump ). i watched this as well as other videos and yours helped me understand not just whats wrong with my car but the process of elimination for heating/cooling. Thanks a bunch and keep up the simple and very well explained videos, Chris!
I love watching your channel I'm learning alot from you and building confidence in doing things myself , thank you for everything you showed us !!!
No heat! Wonder why Christmas missed us.
I just had to subscribe because I’m pretty sure you helped me diagnose my issue; I get heat when I want AC, AC when I want heat. This makes for a miserable time driving in hot summers or cold winters. Tomorrow I’ll test out the blend door theory and hopefully, the fix will be as simple as you suggest! Thanks, Chris!
Just wanted to say thanks for all this info. Great information and explained well in layman terms. Turned out my heater control valve was bad. Once I changed the HCV, HEAT!
Thanks man!!!! Saved my butt when it was 10 degrees, it was the heater controller switch... opened it and plugged the Vac line. Works great! Keep making these GREAT vids man.
Bro I appreciate how you simply explain each and every step you went through. Unlike other channels they make simple solutions out of a physic problem.
Thank you.
I'm glad Chris makes these videos. I just found out the previous owner's mechanic had ziptied the heater control valve shut into AC mode. I trust Chris more than mechanics. heater works great no leaks anywhere. Thanks Chris
You're really good at making complicated things easy to understand. Great video!
You do a great job at making videos for helping people please continue to do so if you like doing so once again you're very helpful thank you.
Thanks! I am glad the videos are helpful!
Chris is one great guy, he's on the consumer's side helping us all fix car problems for ourselves, thanks a gazillion Chris!!!
Thanks!
Your videos are extremely informative and helpful. Thanks for explaining everything in plain English it makes it so much easier to understand. Also, love the multi-meter trick!
How can anyone dislike this video. Incredibly helpful and informative. Really appreciate the video and new subscriber
Chris, you sir, are the MAN! I used this video to correctly trouble shoot the heat problem on my 2005 F150 to a blend door. I changed it out, and now I have heat! Thanks Chris!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! Just bought a minivan and after getting all type of different "check this" answers I found this video. Your step by step is PERFECT! I'll be trying everything tomorrow.
great video. you explain things extremely well, and your video editing made things that much easier to understand. keep it up!
+frank chaz Thanks Frank!
Yes butvitvis sooo conplicated. So many components. My fan quit!and my hub put a lite switch on with a wire to the battery. Ha! He's a mcGiver fix it man . He said he_d fix it,( my Caddie), by this Winter. Errrr . .
Omg!! Who would’ve thought that all I needed was some coolant 😂 thank you!!!
No problem! I'm glad the video was helpful!
@@chrisfixI love you and I miss you
i had no heat, this morning... checked your video out!
i tryied the raving of the gas, (3x) maybe 2500rpms, let off, while in park...
heat on fan 2
heat in (heat only)
* this was watching up to that moment, never got out of the car!
this actually worked, thx chris
THANK YOU FOR SUCH AN INFORMATIVE VIDEO. IM A 46 year old widow and having this exact issue but on a very tight budget. Currently I am stranded due to a snow storm combined with no heat making it dangerous since I cannot see through the windshield due to ice.
Sadly im stuck until tomorrow afternoon when hopefully some sunshine will allow me to complete my 2 hour journey home but I cannot wait to follow your instructions and get my heat working again.
My poor dog is shivering so bad. That’s the hardest part for me.
We are soooooo cold but you’ve given me some hope so we never have to go through this again.
Thanks again.
Jami
I'm sure you will be able to get that fixed so you can get home!
Great video Chris. Very thorough. You covered so many scenarios. I don't have any issues with my vehicles, I just watch to learn. Knowing this stuff can make one alert to symptoms of a problem starting to develop. Thanks for sharing. You have a great automotive channel here. Keep it up!
paisteboy Thanks man! Yea, there are so so so many different types of cars and trucks so I try to go through the most common scenarios! I appreciate the feedback!
ChrisFix Fortunate for me, I only work on one type of thing and they're all the same. So, repetition is awesome. UH-1N. Look that up.
That is awesome that you work on the UH-1N! Military?
ChrisFix Short version: Former army. Now civilian working for airforce.
I am 11 and can drive stick from these videos and various others.
I have never seen any video in my life, how well explain in details, furthermore i am impressed how simple he explained and illustrate while talking . All is done in high quality pictures of the content. My respect to you .....extremely well done. 👍👍👍
Hey Chris. Joel Crow is right on point. Your videos are the absolute best. I have made 6 repairs to my car based on your videos. If I ever see you in person, I owe you about $1743. With your instructions, I paid less than $135. You are the MAN. Thanks for taking the time to do your videos. They truly are "Helping other people save a lot of money. Like Hunter, I agree. The dislikes is from the shady mechanics who can't rip us off any more. Keep the videos coming!
Great video! I really like how you explain how a cars heater works to begin with! Because of that, I think your video is particularly great!
Thanks great job. You were very thorough. I knew a lot about heat systems before but now I have added a more comprehensive education thanks to you. Cheers
I like your banter, I feel like we could be homies.. thanks for the troubleshooting tips
WOW .. Totally informative, concise, and to the point!
Covers all major makes and models.. Bravo...
Thank you Chris for all the videos, i found them very helpful.
These are excellent presentations.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you from New Jersey.
This was the best most informative video I have ever seen . Thank you so much. Great job
Hi Chris your video helps me a lot as new car owner . 😏 I love how you explained everything I felt like I’m attending a real swatting classroom ! 😁 keep posting !
You're an excellent teacher! You come across as very intelligent, kind, and humble. Thank you for the helpful information!
Thanks I’ll have to diagnose my car first thing in the morning. Driving in -10 degree weather for a whole month now has not been very fun 🙂
Having a no heat problem , haven't figured it out. Thanks for all hints , very detailed and helpful video. 👍
Had a shitty morning waiting for my DeVille to warm up and defrost my windshield to no avail. Came inside after calling in to work and found this video. Never heard of you before now but this 7 year old video is still getting you subscribers. Great work and thank you!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks Chris! Awesome video! I was told by the shop that to fix the blend door actuator would be 700.00 because they have to take the dash apart. I am going to give your troubleshooting a try....weather permitting!
Thanks to the tips and suggestions by my awesome subscribers, I added some more information and made one part a little more clear! Can you spot the difference in this video compared to the one released yesterday?
Nope can't tell thete both to grate to tell but man your radiader is nasty wow its looked very rusty
patrick cordery Yea man! Commenters are scaring me saying I have a head gasket leak. Now I want to do a compression test lol
I think it is just really rusty because I dont loose any coolant and the oil isnt frothy so.
ChrisFix keep up the good work and thanks for your continuous replies. Other CZcamsrs only reply once and most of the time that doesn't help
Claroboy911 No problem man! I am here to try and help! That is the goal!
chickeneyeballs does it work on the highest fan setting? If so, your blower motor resistor is bad. If not, it sounds like your blower motor is bad. Here is some more info: czcams.com/video/7e60wS3_C9s/video.html
Chris you rock! You make it easy to understand and your videos are pro and informative! thanks so much
Thanks Chris, your videos are the best I've found for clear, concise information and help!
Wow lots of clear information in a short amount of time. Outstanding!!!!!
THANKS so much, I believe you covered all the bases. Gotta admit I never saw using an ohm meter to check the resistance of the fluid.
I just told my husband I don't know enough about how the heating system in a vehicle works to diagnose or fix the issue in our Honda CR-V. You just gave me all I need to know for this issue. Thank you!
Bro you are awesome. You make it easy to understand and you are thorough. Thank you. Please keep up the good work. You are educating people and eating life.
very nice video, explained in simplest way possible. thanks from Pakistan
You're awesome, thorough, and make it easy to understand! Great videos, Chris!
Hi Chris, thank you for this video. It helped me diagnose my no heat issue. Much appreciated!
You re the best my brother!!! You give me calm and confidence to fix anything, very clear explanation!🙏 thanks for all your help and time!!
I keep expecting you to say "so what, wanna fight about it?" Great video!
Am I the only guy that wants to start at the beginning of these videos and work them all through my vehicle?
Yes. I'm only told once and i got the skills.
Good idea actually
You have to be a contortionist to fix that heater core or vent door. Hard work.
@@falsealarmno I'm looking for a Yoga instructor on Craigslist wanting a Gig to fix mine.
I definitely learned something new today because of your video! Awesome man. Heat is working great now!
Thank you for this video Chris. My brothers used to race cars and taught me when I was young how to fix my own cars. I changed a water pump and for the life of me. I could not get the temp above 110 and only cold air inside. Air Lock! After getting Tourettes and then, up to and including writing a very strongly worded letter to GMC, I finally calmed down and looked closer and realized I was not getting water into my heater core which was not allowing water to the T-stat, so it would not open allowing more coolant in. And then I found your video. I do feel better after writing GMC, but I probably should have looked here first. I am sure some engineer that gets paid $375,000.00 a year is feeling like a total loser after reading what I wrote.
check your "wooder pump"

Sounds like a philly thing...

Thank you my friend. This helped jog my memory and speed up my fix.
Clear,accurate, and straight to the point.
None of that crappie info. Thanks Chris.
That was a pretty good video man. I have a radiator leak and have to replace it but for the meantime I've been trying to learn the system so I can get heat and keep the engine from over heating and keep water loss to a minimum while driving and this video summed up all the heating core side of things, thanks
you are amazingly smart, I would love to have a teacher like you. thank you
Ok, today i actually learned something i didnt already know. using a voltage reading off a multimeter to check your coolant potency. Never even thought of it. Good video Chris
Wow, the best help video I've ever seen. To the point, and resourceful, Thanks so much 😊 🥰
Great advice. just followed through this video to get my heat working. first i replaced the thermostat (which was easy), then the blend door actuator, which was more difficult. but i got it done!
I swear my heat started working just watching this video wtf
because your heater felt the presence of chris fix and was immediately enlightened by it
🤣😆🤣
LOL! Good one.
Nah, you just changed your thermostat lmao
Mine did the same Zir !!! Holy smokes !!
Very informative video. You definitely know what you're talking about. Thanks👍
