It's 2021 and this 11 year old video was the most helpful thing I've ever seen on You Tube. Went three Northern Minnesota winters without heat. This guy saved the day. A two hour putzing job for me. Thank you.

Worked nicely to remove a mouse nest from the blower housing on a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer that stays parked outside and covered most of the time. Only difference was the need to remove a small switch that blocked the reservoirs from sliding forward. I guess the switch activated the light underneath the hood when it is raised. Thanks for the tutorial. I've got 250k miles on the Merc and plan to drive it until the wheels fall off. And guidance like you provide makes that easier to do on a budget.

This vid was spot-on. Working outdoors in wind and snow yesterday(in MN-necessity), I followed the steps from this video by memory, and had warm air moving in my Explorer within 30 minutes of popping the hood. Getting the air box out of the lower grommets was the toughest part. Thank you!

@stanlindstedt2702 7 лет назад

This video was exceptionally helpful! I could never have done this without it. With it - I replaced the motor and had wonderful satisfaction when I turned on a silent, hard blowing heater! thanks so much!!!

@MegaMiniac 14 лет назад

Awesome video... I am a novice home mechanic (wrench handler) and this video allowed me to replace my blower motor myself.. step by step... I will ride warm this winter thanks to you!!

@68rhull 13 лет назад

Have a 95 and recently repalced my AC pump a week later I smelled burning smell and blower quit working all together where is the best place to start, Relay, resestor, or blower motor. the blower does not come on at all and fuse is fine. And thanks for these videos they are awesome.

@scrapingthebarrel 12 лет назад

I just wish to thank you for this video. I am going to try this tomorrow as I have no fan blower at all now and it is due to get cold again.

@sakumisan 8 лет назад

@josephmolion4345 9 лет назад

Thank you for this very detailed video! I just changed out my blower motor on my 1998 Eddie Bauer Explorer with the tips I learned on this video; took me under an hour. Saved me $$$$ too! Advance Auto wanted to charge me $75 for the part alone, no installation. If I had a garage do it, I guarantee it would have been $100 minimum for labor. All told, with the part I bought off ebay new, it cost me an hour and $38. Needless to say, I'm a happy guy. :)

@1AAuto 9 лет назад

Thank you for watching. Glad to be of help. Please let us know how the repair comes out! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

@josephmolion4345 9 лет назад

It was already done when I commented. Following your instructions, I was done in under an hour and now my wife's truck is blowing nice cold air. Thanks again!

@dennis89509 3 года назад

Wow. Thank you. Excellent video. My wife thinks I'm a genius now.

@Axhole11 7 лет назад

You Sir, have saved my day. thank you. I did it myself in about an hour and half. I had to freestyle a bit because my replacement motor didn't come with a fan so I took the fan off the old one and put it on the new one.

Great video. Very helpful. Mine's a '95 which uses a cylindrical type air filter, and I did not have to remove or even relocate the air box. Got the blower replaced just in time for summer. Now I'll enjoy cool air again! Thanks!

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

@trabajador98 If it does usually they're located on the passenger side under the glove box. If your not sure if your vehicle came with one, you could call the Ford dealer with your vin number and they could tell you if it did or not. Hope this helps you out.

@trabajador98 12 лет назад

I can see you are very professional and now a lot about cars, do you know if a 2003 explorer have a cabin air filter, I will appreciate any info. Thx.

@1AAuto 13 лет назад

@d0gg0d I would check the plug to the blower motor first to see if there is current going to it when the heater is on. if there is, the blower motor is likely bad. If there isn't current current going to the plug then you may want to check the fuse to see if it's bad.

@1AAuto 11 лет назад

Thanks for watching Gary, have a great day!

@Matrix333-o5e 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the video. Can you make one on how to replace the rear blower motor for the back seat

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

The original blower motor was working fine on this Ford Explorer. We shot this video that showes you how to make this repair in the event that your blower motr has stopped working.

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

Unfortunately we do not. you might be able to find this info on a online forum of some sorts.

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

@domenicd123 It may be the blower motor. You might want to take the blower motor out to see if there's any debris in the cage making some noise. Hope this helps you out.

@1AAuto 11 лет назад

Yes it should attach to the blower motor.

@leonardlabrecque143 5 лет назад

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

There could be an issue with either a wire or it could be the resistor or the motor. Your best bet would be to check to see if you are getting power up to the motor with the switch turned on to each position,

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

It may be. You could also check to see if there are any loose wires connecting to it.

@dutchweeks1 4 года назад

That looks a whole lot easier than I thought, I look forward to my explorer NOT screaming at me anymore in the near future :)

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

You may want to check the power going to the blower motor to see if it has power to it, if it does then the blower motor may have gone bad.

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

You may want to check the connections to the blower motor to see if they're all connected securely.

@godbluffvdgg 2 года назад

Oh to be young again...:)...Nice job, Thanks for the video..I wanted to see what's involved...Not hard but, old bolts on explorers can be troublesome .If a real mechanic, like yourself, can do that for under 150 it's worth every penny...Real mechanics are like hens teeth now; everybody is a swapologist...There are test for everything but, they'd rather figure it out through trial and error... Thanks for the upload...>>> I just saw I replied to you three years ago...about the same car...:)...Good health to you and yours.

@IbanezCV 11 лет назад

Great, helpful vid. Thanks for saving me about $200.

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

You may want to investigate the ignition switch to see if it may be bad.

@toddstewart9070 5 лет назад

My 96 blower isnt making any noise, but i have to give it a wack with a rubber mallet for it to come on while the key is on and fan switch is engaged for it to start spinning. Ive noticed over time that this trick doesnt work for as long. A few months ago, I could hit it once and it would work for a month or 2, but now if i do it it will work until I turn it off, and then it wont start again until i give it a wack again.

@1AAuto 11 лет назад

You may want to have the code pulled to see what triggering the light.

@1AAuto 13 лет назад

@commonshoe There may be a nut or a screw that holds it in place.

@raulpatton5864 7 месяцев назад

My Explorer has no heat and it doesn’t work on high or low. I’ve replaced the blower motor resistor several years ago and it only worked on high. Any thoughts before I order a new motor?

@1AAuto 11 лет назад

You may want to check along the firewall and under the dash to see if there's a broken or loose vacuum line somewhere in the system, which might also cause this type of a situation. Hope this helps you out. Have a great day! 1aauto.com

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

You don't have to as long as it doesn't leak. You basically just have to move it over a few inches to get at the blower motor bolts. We carry new blower motors on our website. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

@1AAuto 11 лет назад

You may want to check the wiring that comes off of the blower motor and also the blower motor resistor for damage. Sometime these wire and connections can heat up and cause a bad connection, which should be repaired. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

@astralsilverwind5478 2 года назад

Hey I have a 95 ford explorer from back then. I have a question. Is there a second blower motor for the back seat? The vents on the center console for the back seat won't turn on butbi can hear something in the vents but no air

@maelizama 10 лет назад

My blower motor stop suddenly. I thought it could be a relay but that wasn't the case. I tracked everything out all the way up to where the wire plugs into the back of the blower motor. I removed the blower motor. I hooked the blower motor to my battery charge and it didn't turn. Looking in the case I saw there was so much black crud/ dust I had to blow and vacuum it out. . Brushed looked decent so I reinstalled it and worked like a champ. When I later went back to test it, It wouldn't work. Any suggestions on my next step? Thank you! I enjoyed the video! Mae

@1AAuto 10 лет назад

Hello there. My blower motor sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. It is going back? I've just replaced thr blower resistor today. 2005 ford explorer sport trac. Thanks

@Hurtpure1 11 лет назад

my mechanic was saying something about a resistor as well does that attach to the motor?

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

We currently do not have an auto repair video that shows you how to make this particular repair, however there should be six small screws that hold it in place. We carry new replacement blower motors on our website 1aauto.com 888-844-3393 Part Number: 1AHCX00094

@tonedakushmanmanning6171 9 лет назад

Would this work if ur heat is only blowing in the back and not the front

@1AAuto 9 лет назад

You may want to see if the front blower motor has power to it. You can do this with a test light or an ohm meter.

@TheBucktowncrazy 6 лет назад

I bought the motor from y'all. I have a 2005 sport trac and my question is do I need to take out the same stuff as in the video or is it possible to replace the motor without removing everything??? Thanks

@1AAuto 5 лет назад

+Byou Nola Sometimes cutting corners wind up causing more work and time. We aim to make these step-by-step videos as accurate and as little time consuming as possible while getting the job right and complete the first time.

@1AAuto 11 лет назад

Usually when you loose the different speed settings it's a sign of the blower motor resistor going bad. Also inspect the plug end to the blower motor resistor to see if it's okay and that it hasn't been heated up and damaged. We carry new blower motors and blower motor resistors on our website. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

@pir8mom1 11 лет назад

@1AAuto 13 лет назад

@underwood11100 At the current moment, we do not have a video that shows this particular repair.

@1AAuto 12 лет назад

The previous own more than likely by-passed the heater core because it was leaking. Thats' more than likely why you have no heat and it smells like antifreeze in the cab of the truck.

@Unz360 10 лет назад

Hey thanks I'm about to try this.. if I need to replace the resistor too, should I do that before or after the blower motor? Not sure but I suppose I'll be able to tell when I'm in there..

@1AAuto 10 лет назад

The order on which you replace them in shouldn't matter. We carry new replacement blower motors and resistors on our website 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

@Unz360 10 лет назад

1A Auto Parts thanks for your reply! Also I got stuck with the blower motor wheel, is there some trick to taking it off? I couldn't find out how right away, or any videos to help. I was told I don't need a new one, just the motor. Also if there's a video for safely replacing the resistor that would be cool :)

@1AAuto 10 лет назад

Unz360 There may be a c-clip that holds the cage to the motor. We carry both the cage and the complete assembly on our website. A whole new motor and cage assembly isn't too much more, if you can't get the cage off. Sometimes those cages can also get brittle over time. Here's a link to the blower motors and blower motor cages on our website if you would like to see what we have. www.1aauto.com/1A/blower-motor/Ford/Explorer?VideoReply&RU-vid&ATony

I have a 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and my A/C/Heater blower works intermittently. At first it happened every once and awhile and now it's pretty much not working at all. Does this sound like a blower motor issue? I can still feel cold air seeping out. Thanks for the video.

@domenicd123 12 лет назад

i have a 2002 Acura tl that recently started making noise when i adjust the flow of the heat/ac its not a whinning noise, its more of a clicking. not very loud but would a bad blower create that noise?

@tr3vorb438 2 года назад

My air cleaner box doesn’t have pine needles in it. Where can I get those? Just kidding, great video. 😁

@1AAuto 11 лет назад

The should be 3-4 bolts that hold it in place. If you disconnect the wire and take those screws out it should come right out for you. We carry new Ford Explorer heater blower motors with free shipping on our website 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

@solinvictus39 9 месяцев назад

Is it possible that a mouse or chipmunk could get inside the blower system? My '99 Explorer sounds like something is flying around inside the blower and I've had problems with mice camping out in the engine near the blower motor before. This Explorer doesn't get driven often, and it sits for most of the year...

@Cambo212 12 лет назад

Is there any reason why someone would unhook the two hoses going into the firewall of a Ranger and bypass those hoses? does that have anything to do with the heater? My ranger blows air but its cold air when i have the heat selected and it smells a little like antifreeze.

@lowriderfan15 13 лет назад

i have a ford f-150 ´96 motor 351. My 1st and 2nd trans gear are workin properly, but unfortunately when i am reaching in 3rd gear my ford starts smoothly shaking back n forth for atleast 7seconds. so, i either step on it or let the trans take his time. the oil trans is in good lvl. another issue is wen i step on it to speed up i can hear a clanking noise, but that´s only when i step on it too hard. can you give me a hint tho? lol

@andysacks6827 4 года назад
