Here is a video describing how to repair a noisy blower motor in a 89 Toyota p-up. Now as I mentioned in the video this applies to most vehicles making this noise. They all work about the same. I would have provided information on how to test the blower resistor electrically but didn't think any one would wanna be bored with the details.

I'd like to see the rester but you are constantly waving it around. how does one test the resister rather than replacing parts by trial and error
wow
Great video brother. Just bought and older 06 tunder an it has a vibration in that area and will check it after seeing this video. Thanks 👍
You can solder the resistor back together instead of replacing it! worked on mine! Or u can replace the resister wire itself, called ntc resister wire on ebay etc comes in different ratings match it up to the profile of you stock setup.
Again thank you 1hour. All done Cleaned out the fan and replace a modular have all four speeds in my fan and no noise. Again thank you
So who did the camera holding before Eric got his tripod?
What if my A/C and heater don't turn on? I have a 1990 pick up I move the buttons for the A/C or heater and it does nothing. What can I do to trouble shoot my problem please 😭
Thank you that was very helpful! I was told I had to remove my entire dashboard
Happy New Years
Is that stuff the same way on a 1994 Toyota Pickup? It sure looks the same as mine.
Will a bad resistor blow a fuse. I have a 92 previa and the fuse blows when I turn on the blower on high. The blower fuse is shared with the clock, dash lights, dome light and windows.
My blower motor has lower that normal air output & all speeds work, normal sound.
I am thinking to order a new one from rock auto, but want to make sure it’s not the resistor or the relay.
Any opinions?
Thankyou…have had one speed, medium high, my favorite, not working for years…or rather it works for a few seconds before quitting. I will now know what to look for and where and hopefully that fixes it.
i wasn’t even looking for this but i do need to change out the resistor in my truck and thanks for showing how to do it so confidently!
Thanks Dr. O!
I replaced the resistor and blower motor on my Tacoma the other day. It had run for about 7 years before the resistor died. I replaced the motor too because it was making quite a bit of noise. After replacing it, I took a good hard look at the old motor and discovered it was covered with carbon from the brushes and didn't spin so freely. This made me wonder if it's possible to replace just the motor itself with a brushless motor? Has anyone here every tried that?
I couldn't get the 3 rd screw ,way back up underneath i could not even see it ..
But the blower motor fan had no junk in it , but it still growls when on the #4 high8fan speed setting
Any thoughts..just got the AC fixed blowing cold .But NOT flowing that much not like it use to
This is great information!!! Thank you. I had no idea it had resistors. If I get 0 power do u think the resistor is dead?
Thank you very much for the help! Solved my problems. Also I appreciate the BS video. Simple, direct and just what I needed.

Rock Star. I love simple, short and straightforward stuff like this. Any video under 4 minutes is a good thing, so many vids just drag and drag on .. well done South Main !
What year is that toyota truck that you replaced the resistor on??
Mine be having a squeeling noise but it comes and goes possibly it could be the ac belt or the motor?
Great info, I’ve got to make this repair this morning.
My 94 pickup has no cold a/c the only air flow is from the blower motor and my fuses are good the compressor just gets no power
Mine doesn't make any noise but whats the issue if it only works on high but it does blow hot and cold perfectly
What did you expect with relatively easy access to a squirrel cage?
Dude the Tutorial on videos is to teach people how to do or replace the parts but just were talking and talking no good at All Dude I stayed on the same page 😏
Exactly what i needed!
Super helpful, even 6 years later. Thank you for making such a straightforward video
Some heroes wear mossy oak hats that's all I can say. Thank you sir. Saved me from tearing the switch out of the dash
Thank you so much. I have exact same issues with my truck. Fan just started doing that yesterday in a snow storm.
I have a 2000 Toyota Tacoma prerunner sr5 and can never find anything with the same year truck what is the best comparison
Great video, not a lot of talk, everything to the point. Well done. My replacement resistor arrived today, will swap it out tomorrow at lunch. Thank you for this video
Is that the same process on a 1999 Tacoma the fan just stopped running
That back screw is a ^$@$:;,,;:"'a.
My blower stopped all together. If I ordered a new motor would it come with a new resistor or are they usually sold separately?
The floor under the blower motor, AC, etc. on my 1999 Tacoma gets wet after every time it rains. Is it possible/likely that there is water coming through the vent, or clean air intake, and leaking somewhere in the system?
Where exactly is the resistor located? I have an 89 pickup too but don’t see it? Do I have to remove the actual fan and motor to see it?
Great video. Just bought a blower resistor to replace the 30-year-old original–2 of the 3 resistors were blown.
Felt like I was watching the video over again while doing it on my Tacoma, thank you very much saved me a 200$ quote from a shop I’m never going back too
If I had it to do over again, I would remove the glovebox. This will give you more room and also access to the fan bracket bolts (not the three that hold the fan in), which, by removing, will give you some wiggle room to drop the fan out and replace.
If you in fact decide you want to do this yourself…her are a few tips. It just took me four hours. Our posters makes it look like a cake walk. My truck is a 1992 Toyota 4×4 extended cab. The three bolts that are holding the fan are not Phillips Heads they are 8mm. The rear bolt/screw is the problem. You can't see it without a mirror, it's next to impossible to get you left hand in there. I have a ratchet that the handle twist, the only tool I could get on the bolt, no room to ratchet. Getting the fan out is tough, getting it back in is even worse. You actually have to squeeze the plastic blades to force it in. The resistor is easy …two phillips head screws. NOW, the four speed fan switch, I'll take it to a Toyota Dealer. At least they'll be able to replace all the little plastic parts in the panels they break. Lou's Garage won't have them on hand. Hope this helps some of you…good luck.
I've worked on many cars all my life. This is one of the worst jobs I have ever had to do. The fan resistor is no problem. The back screw is almost impossible to take out (and put back). The fan does not just drop out, getting it back is the worst of the job. Good luck. My advice, take it to a Toyota Dealer and pay the price.
How would you get to and replace the air filter?
What size hex bolts hold the blower motor in place?
I have a “05” Highlander. Leaned out a mouse nest. Only high speed on the fan. Need to find the resistor. Any ideas on where it is. Near fan motor?
Deez nuts 🤣 great video, thanks!
Speaking with experience there's nothing that will ruin a good vehicle while it's sitting, then rats I leave my hood open, prevents them from nesting in your engine destroying your wiring harness vacuum lines building a nest, I leave a little toilet paper rolled up in a Awad, on top of your engine you'll see if there's any activity in that area same of the Interior they always go for that soft easy nesting material, and you either need to bring your cats are some pellets to protect your investment
Good job there buddy nice to watch a pro in action save me a bundle of time sincerely a viewer
just did my 89 4×4 easy pizza..the resister was toasted…so i replaced that and the switch just for GP.
