In this video we have a look at a 2013 Dodge Avenger that came in with a customer complaint of a "noisy blower motor" and a wet passenger floor. It didn't take long to track down the problem and find a plugged HVAC drain. Also ended up replacing blower motor and resistor due to water damage. -Enjoy!

    Hi, Mr. O. They should ai some of that blower power down the drain pipe. Thanks for sharing! Stay healthy!

    Thanks you just made my day. Rock or something got in mine when I changed the filter, must have been sitting on top of it, its noisy as crazy thought I'd have to take apart the dash to take the motor out.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars xp3085 says:

    Same problem I think. My connector area looks just like that's wet and rusty. Hoping this will fix it

    Hey Eric. Good stuff. We see the ac drain get dirt dobber(wasp) nest in the tube here in SE GA.
    Now, for the question. My daughter's 2013 Dodge Dart, the blower motor works intermittently. If it comes on at start up, it doesn't seem to stop. But if not, it MAY come on later. Sometimes after hitting a pothole or the drive door closed a little hard. I'm thinking the motor. Have you diagnosed a FCA vehicle that works the same?

    Hey so I’m about to fix my 2010 Dodge Avengers blower motor what size nut driver did it take ?

    I've used CLR to clean up the rust on connectors.

    I stumbled across this video after my daughter complained about hearing water flowing in her Dash. She had exactly the same plug plus her cowl drain was blocked. Thanks so much!! You' da man!! man!!!

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ozzy Krahn says:

    i had a 97 caravan that water got inside and it was due to a plugged wiper assembly drain for the bottom of the windshield

    Not a cricket but at least the cabin air will be fresh.

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim Field says:

    That bug clogged the drain. Must have been a little beaver.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Timothy May says:

    cut the drain line on an angle

    Did notice a wet floor 2x a year after I brought the care new. 2013 Avenger. Could have been more times but I rarely to never sit in the passenger seat. Now 2021 my heat / ac stops working completely. No Air blowing at all. No noise at all. Fuses checked. Lights still work on knobs. I love how simple it looks to change the Blower Motor cause it's hard driving with no heat and I still paying for a check engine light that the dealership can't seem to fix. Well everything but what make the check engine light keep coming on (P0740).

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brian's Place says:

    I was wondering if all of those repair parts you ordered are the same ones that you would also use on a 2008 Dodge Avenger?

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Larry Fry says:

    Would love to see you replace a lower steering column bearing on an early 2000's GM pickup. I've done two and struggled both times…… There are other YouTube vids on doing this but they didn't help.

    Great video. I had a grand vitara with the drain plugged. The ecm on it was full of water making it not start. I found it because the passengers side floor was wet.

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mysock351C says:

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Claude Hayden says:

    Here in Florida the roaches are found everywhere. They live in the woods and fly so inevitably they get in the house.

    Man, I'd love to work for you. I was taught by old man who worked for GM, Ford and Oldsmobile back in the day along with building 427 side oiler engines for Nascar. I've got the old school tricks along with the new school electronic tricks haha.

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Ferguson says:

    Don't ever leave food in the car or you'll get roaches. There is NO EATING ALLOWED in my car. If there is no food and water, you won't have bugs.
