Hi Scotty, I got a 2011 Toyota Rav4 and my AC blower fan spins itself whenever I turn the key (not even start the engine. Another syndrome is the AC fan also fixed to a certain speed and cannot be controlled by turning the knob. I tried to replace both AC motor fan and the resistor but these syndromes persistently come out and cannot be cured. Do you have any suggestion besides sent it back to dealer? PS: I also purchased a 90 bucks Denso relay (AC/heater) and put it into the fuse box but still to no avail. (The cooling/heating is functioning OK but the out-of-control motor fan is really annoying) Thank you so much.

Hey Scotty, I have a 2012 Ram 2500 diesel. It has an awful brake screech when I first apply the brake pedal, usually from around 30 mph, but goes away after about 1-2 seconds of the pedal being applied. I dont really notice it at higher speeds. It doesnt quit after the first one or two brake presses, so I dont believe it is rust on the rotors. I believe it always comes from the front driver side. I have replaced all 4 rotors and brakes very recently, in fact, this started again within 20 miles of replacing the front pads with ones guaranteed to not squeak. Any ideas?

Hello Mr Kilmer. I haven't seen a video yet with my specific issue which can be hard to do. So, here goes. My car is leaking antifreeze like nobodies business. I can't tell if it is a hose or what exactly. It has been spraying onto my windshield lately. And the car guys are saying it's going to cost 800 to repair that. I have been out of work for 5 months due to spinal surgery So I don't have that money. If I can figure out what's wrong worth It I can fix the issue myself it's just finding out what's wrong with it. Any help or suggestions are welcome.

Replaced one years ago in an 83 Subaru wagon I purchased used maybe in 1988 or 89. In it's previous life, given the dirt/dust in various places, it probably lived out in the country. There was a lot of vibration coming from the fan motor, but I figured hey, it's blowing cold air. Then winter arrived and the air from the vents smelled terrible. I bought a used fan motor from a junkyard and went about replacing it. Lo and behold, there was a dried up mouse in the squirrel cage I guess he couldn't keep up That explained the vibration and the smell

I use that trick on a lot of machines. I can remember when I was 17 working in a gas at night a guy came to buy some cigarettes out of our vending machine. It was the old 5ft take pull handle type I said wait have me do it so he put the money in and to make the machine work right I pulled the handle for the band he wanted with one hand then at the same time hit the vending machine in just the right spot with my other fisted hand at the same time and the cigarettes would drop out, worked every time.

Your so funny Scotty, you talk crap about Chevy so much. But in this video I couldn't help but notice that the Denso sticker said Canada, lol. When not too long ago you bashed Chevy for manufacturing their vehicles in both Mexico and Canada. Also, my prius I had previously had the same blower motor issue at only 60K miles. I now have an 06 HHR with over 200K miles with absolutely zero issues and the original blower motor is still kicking donkeys and taking names. Keep up the helpful videos

Hey Scotty, a few months ago i put new freon and ac was blowing nice and cold. I decided to replace my cabin air filter the same day, once i put everything back together my ac stopped blowing. Could this be my resistor that gave out. It doesn't blow in any setting. I also took off blower and hooked up battery to see if it would spin and it did. Any suggestions on what it could be?
