I completed this exact job today and your video saved me. I took the laptop out to the carport and followed your directions. Had no problems whatsoever! I went to O'reillys and bought the module for about $80 bucks, I probably could have ordered it on Amazon or some place else and paid a cheaper price but the wind is blowing about 35 mph and it's about 20 degrees outside, so I was just happy to get it done. I was out this morning at 4:30 AM and it was raining and my windows were fogging up so bad because I had no blower, I had to pull over and wipe the inside windows. The rear air in my suburban would heat the vehicle just fine but it didn't de-fog the windshield. Thanks for your video!
I cannot thank you enough for posting this video! It’s summer in Vegas and it’s HOT! My truck is black as well, so it attracts even more heat. This is exactly what was wrong. THANK YOU!!!!
Love your videos because your a little more detailed on them. The majority of the techs on you tube for instance they use scopes but they don’t show how to hook them up. That would really help out the new generation of techs coming into the industry. I know this didn’t need a scope. But your detailed on the repair without a long video. Keep up the good work brother.
I have a 2005 chevy suburban and I just want to say Thank you sooo much you have saved me so much money!!Your truly a blessing for making these videos!!!
This has been an on going problem for me for about 2 years now. I have a 06 Cadillac Escalade, I seem to be changing this thing once every 6 months. Thankfully the part has a life time warranty. I have even changed the blower motor. What happens is some days it will blow some it wont. Or I'll be driving and it will come on then off. Then back on for a few minutes then off again. The only thing I haven't changed was the controls on the dash. I never new that about the volt meter, so I guess that will be next. Thanks, Great video.
This video is excellent, you explained everything so well a toddler could figure it out. I managed to diagnose my suburban and it indeed has a bad resistor. WIll be changing it soon.
Great video! Just did this to my 2003 Avalanche. I was thrown off some by the new module vs the old "plug and play." Once I cut and connected the old wires to the new I was up and running again. I decided to just replace the blower fan as well since I was right there.
I have a 05 yukon with this same problem and the crazy thing is that I've worked for GM dealerships for 12 years in the parts industry and sold this part like it was hot cakes and I can't believe I totally forgot about this part 😂🤣😂 Thanks for reminding me
Thank You so much for this video. I had the exact same problem on my newly acquired Chevy Suburban 2005. Got the control module and replaced it last night. Everything is just the way it should be.
Hey Eric, Thanks for this awesome video. I didn't have all the tester tools that you had but after watching the video i was pretty sure that my pickup was having the very same issue. Ordered the part on eBay and within 15 minutes of receiving the part in the mail i was back in the cool zone with the AC blasting!!!
Excellant presentation. Slow and clear and even us old men can follow. A welcome compared to some of these. Will be checking on a couple other concerns with this Tahoe recently purchased. Thanks
Thank You Very Much!!! For the way that you instructed how to wire the connection to the original wiring harness!!! If I was to ever have someone to ask me I will refer them to your Video!!! 10 stars
Thank you very much for putting this onCZcams I have a 2005 Chevy avalanche and the heater went out just as you explaining in your video because of you posting this video I was able to fix it for $35 buying the part from amazon.com whereas the part cost $85 from a parts store thank you very much and keep posting thumbs up subscribe
Well done. I was going to use the original plugs and move the wires around however somebody put word it before I got to it so thanks for doing this video as it was helpful for me. One last thing well done as I can tell you were working with one hand and holding the camera with the other lol
Loved the video. Prior to watching it I thought to myself that I should start at the blower itself and work backwards to see where something is "lost". Wasn't sure what I was looking for but I figured I would need some voltage on the lead to the blower motor and a ground. I was almost certain that the control module (resistors) would be the problem. Funny thing is once I stuck the T pin into the purple and white connector, the blower turned on. How after 18 years did it become a loose connection issue? If the problem comes back, will probably need to replace the control module. Would be nice to know where you got your ground for your PowerProbe or the multimeter. I tried the parking brake at first and it didn't work. I then found a shiny metal plate above the parking brake and it worked. Thanks for the video. My '05 did not have 2 plugs. It had a single plug for all 5 wires. There was also another plug that piggy backed off the control module plug. No idea what it was for. Not connected to anything. Made it easy to test for ground and battery power (no need for T pin).
I figured it out. I thought you were crimping 2 wire set that plus into blower itself but you were crimping wires to what was the wire plug into module. - thanks,
Fixed my problem on my 05 Yukon Xl Denali. Front Ac would only work at highway speeds. My assumption was that it wasn’t getting enough voltage at a standstill. Ordered part off carparts and Installed today. I used the yellow butt connectors instead of blue. Ac blowing super cold again. Anyone with the problem with ac only working while driving, swap out this part. Summer isn’t dreadful anymore lol
well done tutorial. I appreciate great camera work, thorough analysis, talking your way thru the troubleshooting process. Well done. What website do you use for your wiring diagrams? (PS turn off the G&R it makes it hard to hear your video) THanks
Man oh man this video was so fucking helpful!!! Good work. My 2006 suburban blower wouldn’t turn off even with the key out of the ignition. It was the blower control module.
Do not need to cut any wires, remove the 3 wires from original connector and the 3 pigtail wires from the new harness with jewelers screwdriver and swap the 3 wires.
I saw a vid where a guy attempted to do what you're saying but when he pulled the wires out of the original connector there was still some kind of metal contacts on them. He cut those off and just ended up butt-splicing. He didn't try to open the new connector. Can you elaborate more on this?
Thank you for taking the time to help people like myself. I have a 2011 Silverado my air blows and then it shuts off. I have at times had it blow for days with no issues and then it comes back I believe it's the resonator. What's your thoughts about it
I have a 2005 Tahoe. It appears the blower motor and resister were changed when the AC selector was changed by the previous owner. The fan speed selector is going up and down. The green fuse appears to be in good shape. If all those are working, what could be preventing the blower from working?
Great video, hey, I have a 04 suburban 1500 2wd flex fuel v8 5.3L with dual climate control with Auto for hvac. I installed a new mode door actuator and it doesn't take the calibration, it spins initially but I have no control over it with the ac controller, also the rear doesn't work. I'll appreciate your response. Thanks in advance.
I'm having the same problem with my rear air not blowing. Changed everything from a tahoe in a salvage yard still nothing. Might even have gotten a bad replacement resistor. Do you have a video on the rear air?
Wound up replacing motor module, fixed problem. But I did not see a DC voltage on control wire like you had only had a few millivolts . I took up my portable LCD scope and could see control signal PWM . Wonder why I did not see the DC signal you did , was your meter referenced to GND for that reading ?
My wife says thank you. I fixed it for her using this video. You’re awesome.
To you and all the people who take the time to record and post repair videos......Thank you so much!
From your step by step video I was able to fix my own Yukon!! Girl Power!!!
Thanks man, I didn't need a new module but I traced the wires and one was loose. Now I'm back to working AC. Your the man
Front and back air blows but doesn't stay cool. Also have weird noise from area you just showed
Perfect- step by step analysis which allowed me to repair my truck without purchasing unnecessary parts. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
2006 Suburban, helped me and saved money. Thank you! Much appreciated!
I am having the same problem and by far this has been the best video I've seen regarding the repair needed to resolve the problem.

That's what I'm talking about. To the point and what does what. Nice video. Appreciate the short and sweet video.
Watch video, troubleshoot my truck , bought the module , replaced mine , and FIXED ! Thank you for the help!
Thank you for showing the cover removal and mentioning the sizes of bolts.
I cannot thank you enough for posting this video! It’s summer in Vegas and it’s HOT! My truck is black as well, so it attracts even more heat. This is exactly what was wrong. THANK YOU!!!!
I just got back from Vegas yesterday! The heat is no joke lol. I’m glad I could help!
Thanks for helping out. I changed module and blower $150, mechanics where charging me $400. Your the man....

Very good video worked very good thanks
Perfect step by step video . I just replaced resistor on my 04 Suburban.

Thank you so much! awesome video i fixed my Chevy Suburban 2006 Z-71 in 15 minutes.
Fixed the problem in my 05 trailblazer
Good to know about this blower issue and the fix.

I figured it out. I thought you were crimping 2 wire set that plus into blower itself but you were crimping wires to what was the wire plug into module. - thanks,
Very good instruction! Nice work. Got my parts today gonna try it out. Will let you know how goes. Ty

Outstanding this was well done.
Thank you!
Great video. My yukon blower kept running when shut off today. I pulled fuse will order part and hope it works. Thanks
Doug Neugebauer I changed out the module now blower won’t stop. How did you fix the issue??
Very thorough!
I want to thank you forc this video.. it helped me alot and money thank you..
very good video best i seen
Also having wires exposed like the defeated the purpose of not cutting them all at once and then having them touch after you striped them
great video....shows you know what you are doing!
Do not need to cut any wires, remove the 3 wires from original connector and the 3 pigtail wires from the new harness with jewelers screwdriver and swap the 3 wires.
