I have a question for you bud and I hate to bother you so much I just took my stuff down and had the battery checked again and the alternator they're telling me my alternator is fine and my battery is fine but still my lights dim inside and outside but all their equipment tests show nothing wrong with the alternator or the battery second question blower motor went out about four weeks ago maybe a little longer did not drive the car much anyway or truck I should say 2008 GMC and everytime I see a resistor coming out of these vehicles it looks nothing like the one I have I have a bunch of metal pins that stick up looks like a bed and nails the replacement part has more then my original how do I test this thing wish there was a way I could p. m. you or do you have a Facebook page I'm kind of lost here I don't have the money to take it to a shop that's why I'm trying to do everything myself any help you can give me I would greatly appreciate

Years ago we had Dodge B3500 vans.
Because the A/C systems ran so much, the front HVAC 30 Amp fuse would melt. I tested the motors with an old Craftsman combination (analog) gauge with a shunted 100 Amp scale. Ya, 22 to 25 Amps signaled motor change time. Tried using compressed air to clean out dirt from vent holes. no good. New motor, approx 13 amps, engine running, jumper wires on battery. Chrysler came up with a fix involving a relay, wiring harness and separate fuse for high fan speed. Installed one kit, two months later the blower motor blew out the new fuse. Replaced motor, no more fixes! Great video!

I remember I had a 98 es dodge intrepid and the main unit was broken u couldnt see the degrees in the car but it was just stuck on high and the shop wanted to replace the main unit I was like man idk so I did a little research and found out the blower motor resistor did this and all I had to do was re solder a chip and the display worked on the unit again if they wouldve replaced the main unit that wouldve been way more than just the resistor especially when the they found out the resistor was bad

Hey thanks for making the video, I've been all over the place trying to figure out why the heat won't blow in my minivan. My father in law said it had to be the control board (digital temp control. Wen't to buy one of those, the guys at the store said it's probably just the blower motor or resistor. Anyhow. I'm wondering if there is anyway I can test the amperage with a regular multimeter? I don't have one of the testers you used and I have a feeling they would probably be a little pricey.

Hello! I am facing dire problems with a Mercedes-Benz OEM W202 C180-class Blower Motor Regulator Resistor 2108206210 and I had to replace that Regulator twice already. The last symptom is that the fan gets stuck on high speed even when the start key is off. What are the Ohms readings of a new Regulator? I am considering replacing the Blower Motor itself. Any source for good seondhand unit? Please help. Thanks!

Just changed that blower motor today on a 2003 Chrysler town and country. That screw in the back of the housing was a b. Had to pull the padding/insulator to get to it. Made sure when I went to install the housing I put a 2 inch with a sleeve to get to it easy, if there is a next time. If the engineers would have used a longer screw with a sleeve I wouldn't have had so much trouble. Engineers have to think.

I've got a 2014 Town & Country and the air system is making this whirring sound that gets louder as I crank up the fan speed. Is my blower going out? Could you tell me what I might be looking at for the repair? I was thinking maybe I could do it myself but if it was a frustrating job for you it would probably be impossible for an amateur. Anyway any info would be helpful, thanks.

Loved the video found informative. I have a question, changed the resistor and blower motor in my 2004 dodge grand caravan. The new problem is the vent door in the blower housing keeps opening and closing by it self. Sometimes it will do it for several minutes and sometimes once or twice and done. Will not do it again until the van is shut off and restarted. Help?

It's that one effing screw in the back humping the firewall and insulated by the carpeting! It's a good thing you didn't do a repair video. You'd still be editing out F-bombs. I was a taxi fleet mechanic for a couple years and 25ish of the vehicles in the fleet were 01-07 Caravans. I forgot how much I don't miss doing that job.
