- Hey how’s it going guys today I’m going to give you some explanations on why you do not have heat and a couple things you can check for when you do not have heat this video will probably cover just about any vehicle as far as like my explanations in what you can look for in your vehicle to trying to diagnose the problem before you take it over the repair shop and have it repaired. The particular vehicle that I’m working on today is a 2005 Chevy Tahoe bought this information covers a broad amount of cars even jeeps or fords and dodge. End it does it rather quickly so you don’t have to watch the whole video when you’re working on your Ford F150 per say. I hope you enjoyed the video and the information that I give you I wish you the best luck in your travels
You should watch the whole video .(sometimes I’m fun) So you can inform yourself with all the great information that I put in my videos and God bless. I hope the videos helpful for you!
And Thank you for viewing!
Have a great day

Thank you so much. Its cold outside and my truck is the only way to heat up on my break, with three smacks the fans roared to life, now I know what the problem is. Total life saver
Same. :)
25 degrees outside I banged on blower motor. Nothing. Swapped the resistor and I'm good as new. Not to mention the resistor is half the price of a blower motor. Good video much appreciated.
That is an awesome story thank you 🙏 for sharing that with me it always puts a smile on my face.
If you’re interested I would like to start a new thing on my channel because I get comments like this fairly often not as much as I would like to see but I’m sure it happens more than people tell me.
When you’re somewhere out in public sometime and you see somebody who may be a need walk up to them and hand them $10. And tell them that a stranger hhelped you so you’re helping a stranger let us know how it goes (if you’re willing to do it) it’s definitely not necessary nor will it be frowned upon if you don’t
I’m going to try to get strangers to help strangers because I think it’s awesome. God bless have a great day.
To use a test light to check fuses you need to connect the wire clamp to the NEGATIVE post not positive. That is why it did not work.
Sorry I must have somehow hit the post button Anyway watched your video . Thumbs Up I'm retired USMC Helo Mech. So I have tackled a lot that I would never have tried with out good people like you that share their expertise with the world Thanks
Well thank you very very much Joe it means a lot to me when folks send me messages like this so I greatly appreciate it!!
hey again update from my wife. low and low/med work no hi on the heater blower and like everybody else has been saying its cold out side Thanks again
Thank you for this video! Extremely hot today jumped in the truck and blower wouldn’t cut on. Found this video, smacked the blower and it cut on.
Sick story Dave!!! Thank you very much don’t forget to replace it because eventually you won’t be able to hit it and make it work
@@sharpcarco ahhhh you jinxed it my man
You turn the blower motor counter-clockwise not clockwise.
Been checking fuses wrong since 92! 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks, good video! My resistor went out at 200K and motor went out at 210K! Not too bad for OEM
Im at 230,000 my transistor just went out
@@floridaman2504 220k
230,000 and just started to whine.
Always check fuses first before replacing any component.
What good is that going to do if the fan is squeaking but other wise running.
Where are the fuses located for the blower motor?
Amprobe 2005 circuit tracer is awesome I picked one up on ebay 15 years ago and it was 300 bucks for a 1500 dollar unit. This unit has made me probably close to 500k over the past years before I got crippled.
This video was a big help thanks!
That intro is Epic.
Well I’ll be honest with you it was very short-lived that I made them intros it seemed like a good idea at the time but I later figured out that it wasn’t as sweet as I thought it was. Lol 😂
Blower works but wont go to hi at times. My wife wants to tackle it , I'm post ankle surgery, so I'm not much help for a few weeks . She is very capable of doing this
Thank you for your service Joe
Dude you are awesome! Thank you!!
I really appreciate comments like this because sometimes you wonder if you’re doing the right thing or not I appreciate you very much thank you for taking the time to send it to me
The intro made me go to the next video
Motor brushes are not magnets, usually carbon or graphite. Also there are 4 screws holding the cover over the hvac area in my 2004, two are over the transmission hump and two over the passenger foot area. I'm guessing someone had yours apart before and lost one or two.
I have an 06 in Canada. GMC Sierra. I have opened it up underneath, resistor is the same I have replaced it but the blower motor does not come out like this, it’s not even possible. Looks like I may have to remove the whole dash?
Excellent informative video! However, check that, as those are not magnets, but a pair of carbon brushes riding on the armature commutator.
I have an 07 zr1 1500, the resistor looks nothing like the one pictured and the blower motor is secured with several t15 star screws, any advise on how to remove blower motor
Good tutorial, great, thanks dude.
Fan works but has a bad electrical smell when running a.c. or heat. Replace Resistor, blower motor or both? Thank you for any help
Hi David, it could be one or both.. but also check the grounds .... before it burns 🥵 down
2010 GMC Sierra fan quite working couple weeks ago again, this time instead of the resistor for the second time in 5 months I got a new fan, coming home from work yesterday fan started running only on high stayed running even with key off had to pull fuse to shut off (haven't put new fan in yet just got here yesterday also) so now I'm confused because when this happens that usually means the resistor (solenoid) what ever you want to call it is bad again which would be #3 in five to six months. So now I'm thinking replace resistor and fan. Any idea's.
Yeah that’s crazy because I would think that that was the blower motor resistor as well. But it could mean that your blower motor is pulling too much amperage and causing your blower motor resistor’s to go bad. I’ll also look very closely at the connectors make sure they’re not melted because this will cause a Over amperage draw all is well in turn making your blower motor resistor fail prematurely
@@sharpcarco wires and connectors look good Thanks for the reply really appreciate it!
what about a blower that works intermittently? any suggestions on that? I am going to replace resistor first and see what happens.....
More than likely if the blower motor works intermittently you’ve got a bad connection between the blower motor resistor and the blower motor itself like a melted connector or it could be the connection between your control unit and the blower motor resistor you’ll know when you start taking it apart I would assume because the wires will look melted so wiggle the wires before you go ahead and try to replace it.
If you’re able to tap the blower motor and make it work then you definitely need a new blower motor and the blower motor resistor won’t help you hope that information is correct I wish you the best brother because it’s cold outside have a great day
thanks for the advice... your right it is wicked cold out there. I need to bring it in a warm garage and take a closer look. Appreciate the info.....
@@sharpcarco oh forgot to ask, you mention the "control unit", is that the fan speed/temp control on the dash?
ranger4327 Yes that’s what I’m referring to he will need to check and make sure it has power going to the blower motor resistor and then if it has power at the blower motor resistor make sure it has power at the blower motor itself
I have an 06 silverado with a blower issue well no power at the blower. i am also getting no power from the connection that connect to the blower motor resistor. i checked and swapped the fuse relay in the engine compartment. New blower, New blower resistor.
Then more than likely the signal is not coming from the control unit. And there is more than one fuse. Just in case you didn’t already know
@@sharpcarco thanks. yes i know about the other fuses but i was hoping that there was a hidden one under the dash or something. i got a used control unit from the junkyard but it did not work either.
Zoukie Zouk did u get it fixed? I have the same truck and the same problem.
@@zrt7242 I have not had the chance to get back to fixing it.
Somebody buy this guy a freaking light already.
Hi I'm Gabriel I wanna see if you can help me with my 2004 Chevy Silverado how can I change the blending door just the door cause the previous owner for some reason cut the little shaft yes the little square that it goes inside the actuator please help me out thank you
Hello Gabriel regretfully I’m not very experienced with the underside of them dashes. So unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to give you much help or direction in this situation sorry wish I could be of more help
Why is it that on my silverado the blower only works on 1 and 2 but not 3,4 and 5
Well did you watch the video? I am certain I would’ve told you in the video that it was the blower motor resistor that causes that problem it’s very seldomly the actual switch but it is possible generally highly unlikely though….
Do me a favor when you don’t wanna watch someone’s CZcams video because you don’t need all the information in it turn the volume down and restart it, it kills the analytics of the channel by only watching a couple of seconds of it. and how to videos are the most useful videos but also the least watched videos in form of percentage which is a big deal to the algorithm for CZcams.
Thank you very very much welcome to the channel we’re very happy to have you even if you only watch part of our videos lol
Fuse 35
I don't have heat because I deleted the heater core
