Great video. I have the same issue on a 2013 Jetta 2.0. Thought I'd search for a video before I go spend a few hundred at a mechanic. Very well explained, thank you for saving me money!
Dude you rock! Almost bought a new climate control module but thought to go and see if anyone had the same issue. Love how plainly you described the problem, diagnoses and fix! I even got to break out the old test light for this one! Thank you!!👍
Good repair and diagnostic video man straight to the point and didn't forget to mention to check for voltage before you go and replace the resistor that's a good idea
@@ebogar42 just try it because it def worked. It’s like $15 with shipping so it’s def worth the try. Also I’m not an expert but I enjoy DIYing and was able to get this done in like thirty minutes. The only thing I never did was open the glove box but if you get on the ground you’re going to be able to see all the screws. I ordered this kit online that has different screw beads that you can try.
I have a 2008 VW Jetta and I had the same issue tonight I found your video and found the resister and the once silver colored metal is very brown in some spots. I think thatt must be by burnt. I am odering the part tomorrow and I hope I am part of the 99%! Thank you, it was well explained and got me this far!
Thanks for the video! Helped me out a ton. My one suggestion is you should be more silly. You were very specific and detail oriented in your entire troubleshooting process, but you’ve always gotta be a little bit goofy about everything. Other than that, awesome video.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. You saved me a lot of hassle. Also, I hope that clock isn't accurate. 12:56am!?!? I mean I'm up that late, but I'm not doing car repairs and making RU-vid videos that late.
I wish I had found your video sooner before I spent $400 only to have the blower fail 2 days later. So my vehicle had the same issue. It only worked in 4th setting. Repair man changed the A/C compressor control valve. Picked vehicle up, A/C was cold again but realized later still only worked on 4th setting. 2 days later even on the 4th setting it isn’t blowing. I can hear some rumblings, but then stops. I’m thinking maybe I should change the resister and blower motor. What do you all think? Great video and informative. Thanks.
Aww yea!! Amazingly well detailed video my guy 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. So I have a 2013, 2.0 Jetta with the exact same problem, just started today and I bet this is the fix. Now This may be somewhere in the description or comments section and I just missed it, but is there anywhere other than the dealership to procure the replacement part? I want to make sure I order the right one but dont want to go through my local vw dealership as I’ve had bad experiences with them. Let me know and thanks again 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you - I had this happen tonight on my MK6 2013 Jetta and I believe I just need to get the right part number now and order it and I'll replace myself. I pulled mine out to look at it and it does appear bad. I don't have a tester but am pretty confident it is the resistor. Is there a way to find the VW part number? I found what appears to be correct on Autozone but looks like it is the whole unit and I just need the resistor not the wiring cables. Will update this once I get it swapped out!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair it worked and my problem is now fixed, have already followed your channel. You’re awesome!!! $18 bucks I really am curious how much the dealership would have charged. I’m sure a lot more than doing it myself. Thanks for your helpfulness and great video!!!
Hi. I had this problem but when i put in the new resistor..all speeds worked only once and then smoke blew out of my ac vents then went back to same problem again (with only fan working on highest setting). It’s like the resistor blew i think. What could be the problem in this case?
@iskooobydoo you might have a shorted blower motor, install a new resistor then disconnect the blower motor and turn the fan on to see if the resistor is not gonna burn, if it doesn't while the blower motor is disconnected then the problem is the blower motor!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair hey thanks for the tip. Question, would a shorted blower motor also affect the Compressor/RCV not engaging? Because the AC is actually not getting cold also. Its like the compressor solenoid is not engaging.
Hello! I have a question. Is this compartment behind the glovebox area ? Also, should I disconnect my battery when I do this ? Finally, what is the screwdriver for this type of screw called ?
I replaced the blower motor resistor and the AC works great on all setting now BUT there’s a rattling sound coming from the compartment where I replaced the part. It only rattles when the AC is on I don’t know what to do
Cameron Andrew Make sure nothing fell in the blower motor housing, like a piece of paper or a pen!! I've seen stuff from the Glove Box fall in the blower housing!
I have the same problem , it works at any level for beginning but after cruised for an hour or so , suddenly level 1-3 stops working but level4 still working. Any idea why ?
Hello K. You ever do a Steering Wheel Position Sensor for a GMC Sierra V8 4X4 . Midas pulled the motor for this lady to replace motor mounts and did something to the steering system. Light comes on and she has to reset the system somehow. Probably damged the sensor I would think. Does not seem like any shaft or mechanical damage.
The part is unavailable. Part# 15886733 6 pin. That is bad. Is there a way to disable it so it will not interfere with steering? I also understand it may not be wise to do that. Looking for options.
I think the blower motor had been running with a bad resistor for a long enough time, that it too went bad. After putting in the new resistor, I tested at the connector to the motor and am getting good voltage and ground. I will be putting in the new motor tomorrow after it gets delivered.
Turns out, that was it! Both resistor and blower motor. Now I know. When fan works on only highest setting, change resistor before it has an effect on the motor.
