  • This RAM had a blower motor that did not work and I diagnosed it down to the blower motor itself.

    Designed perfectly. This is exactly how hard it should be to swap these. Every other company with a more difficult install is doing it terribly wrong. Bravo on Dodge for this one... Granted, they should just design a blower that never needs changed- but this is the next best thing.

      The blowers on the 07-13 Silverado/Sierras are the easiest. Pull down on a tab & twist the motor out. Can change one of those in 5 minutes.

    I tested my connector and I have power and the control wire is working as you showed it should. I changed the motor and still nothing. Is it possible I bought a bad motor? Or anything else I should check?

    Mine just started acting up in last 2-3 days. It's been 100+ here in Iowa. It'll come on and then shutoff come back on and shut off. So I'm hoping it's nothing major but at least I know what to try now. 👍

      Was it the motor?

      @carsbikestrucks17 no mine was the fuse. Been working ever since.

    I think just like you do, always take out the hard screw first….get her done and then cruise to the finish line😊

    • @calholli

      That's actually a necessity that comes with experience. If you've ever gotten down to the last one and gotten it half way out -- and now your part is dangling and falling down -- and you're still fighting to get to that last 'hardest to get to' screw-- lol.. It can become an ongoing nightmare in a hurry. So saving the 'easiest to get to' for last becomes a natural evolution-- to avoid that struggle that you know all too well, from before. :)

    I just replaced mine. It ran for 10 seconds, then nothing.

    Got the same blower motor mine has these little medal things on the panels. Should I remove them before installing or do I install them with those medal pieces? Little medal brackets holding on panels. (3 of em)

    I have a 2018 Ram 2500, for some reason the relay for the blower motor keeps failing, I'll replace it and it's good for 6 months then the relay burns up and I have to change it, would a faulty blower motor, or one that is going bad, cause the relay to keep failing/ burning up?

    • @737mechanic
      @737mechanic  Před 6 měsíci

      Depending on how the relay is failing could be caused by a blower motor pulling too much current.

    Having issues with a 16 no ground just two hot leads on my blower motor .?

    • @737mechanic
      @737mechanic  Před měsícem

      So it looks like the black wire should be grounded. If you do not have a ground you need to find out why.

    So if im getting nothing at the end of the connector with my test light will it be the connector itself? I removed the connector and tested it from the front end of the pins and I get power to it except from the rear end. What would you say it is? I just installed a new blower motor and nothing. Tested the fuses and all good

    • @737mechanic
      @737mechanic  Před 8 měsíci

      Sounds like the controller if you have a manual temp controller, meaning you do not have a digital readout. If that is the case it is probably this part here.

      You need to make sure you have a good power and ground. And then you need to make sure the control wire is working. If they are then you probably got a bad blower motor or the wrong blower motor. There are blower motors for auto climate controls and manual climate controls.
