Love the video. I have always assumed that with only the high value working on the blower motor that is was the relay not working. If the 1, 2, 3 & 4 speed were not working it was the motor or the switch. NOW I have learned how to test the BM relay to rule out the stitch. AWSOME. BTW I do all my work in the driveway, servicing my Family members cars. I own 3 and with 5 kids and son & daughter inlay and 2 parents of mine and my wife and a sister, my driveway seams to keep pretty full with oil changes, tune ups, valve jobs, brakes, engine swap-outs, and a multitude of electrical problems. I love doing the investigation part. I love learning new ways that you are teaching me to work on cars. You are making me smarter, faster and been slowly buying tools (like my whole life) to make my job easier. I know this may sound like BS but Thank You for the work you do. then spending all that time to produce a video to pass along the things you run into, and passing on your smarts to us. What you do. and how you do it are funny, smart and most importantly, you talk at a level that we ( or I) can understand and intern, use in our endeavors to remedy problems that we run into as we work on cars. I've been doing all my repairs myself since I was 15. Never could, 1 afford that cost of another person working on my poop boxes of a vehicle and, 2 when I could afford it, I never trusted the repair done, because I didn't do it myself. Over the past 40 years I have purchased ( as cost and time allowed, many tools to do the job better, safer, and in a more professional manner. Now with your video's, I can add that to my arsenal, and bring to bare, a smarter me to help me get the job done. Again, Thank You, from my Family. to yours

At least on this vehicle you had easy access. Years ago I changed one on a mid-90's Silverado. It was located in a vertical slot behind the glove box. The slot was as long as the box but only about 2 inches high. I ended up with a old screwdriver newly bent into a L shape and prayed the hold down screws weren't seized up. I didn't have a noise maker when I tested the switch's 3 positions but I did have a test bulb that shined some light on everything. Good video! Bad old memories.

Eric, glad I came to your videos late - by like 4 yrs. This way I don't have to wait for a new one to come out, I still have a lot of catching up to do. Loving every minute of it. From all that I have seen thus far, I'd say you are not just a mechanic, you are a mechanical engineer. You certainly have the mind of one. I hereby bestow upon you an honorary degree. Well, I don't have that authority, but if I did. ;-)

Thermal fuses in the blower resistor are just like ones I find bad in stuff I service, microwave ovens, fans, coffee makers, and other such items, usually find no problems that account for the failure, these just seem to be notorious for failing for no reason especially on high current drain items such as coffee makers or heaters

sure beats eric the stoned car guy, and danner the rambler scanner, at least we get to the point, diagnose, show how, and repair. Its that simple. thanks for showing everybody the friendly, proper, no bull, no ramble, no super science, no rocket science way to fix typical things on everyday repairs.

It would be very interesting to see if you could get some of the Ivans vehicles done faster, some of his work is unbelievably impressive, he does some of the nastiest repairs ever but you Sir put out most incredible service with top quality work in the industry

i had that speed card go out in my 95 Nissan heater, got a new one from Auto zone, worked great but one of the speeds was out of sequence, so I had to take a small flat screw driver and pop the two wire out on the connector and switch them around, problem solved!

Super annoying noise, But! Super informative as usual. Nice job. I'd like to get a power probe, been chasing a bad ground on my jeep. Think I got it narrowed down though. Finally. Thanks for the videos you do a great job explaining things like this.

In the past 2 weeks I replaced my 99 f250 blower resistor and on the second drive the resistor blew again. I got a new resistor and new blower and all is well. The old blower ran fine on high but turned really hard off vehicle.

I had an 04 Frontier XE 4X4 where blower motor only worked on 3 & 4 on switch. Yes it was the Resistor. It was an over all decent truck mechanically. The electronic components of the vehicle in contrast where of questionable quality.
