GMC Blower Motor TOTALLY Clogged: How Did This Even Get in There?? (Digging in With Greg Alberalla)

What happens here

Reinsert the cleaned blower motor into its housing and secure it. Reconnect all electrical plugs. For continued clearing of any remaining fine dust, temporarily leave the resistor motor outside its hole. Turn on the vehicle's ignition and activate the blower motor to its highest setting. The air will blow through the open resistor hole, helping to expel any final debris. After a few minutes, turn off the blower, reattach the resistor motor, and reinstall the passenger footwell panel. Test the system one last time to ensure proper cold airflow and functionality.

Goal: Restore climate control system functionality and confirm effective cleaning.

now what i'm going to do is i'm going to put the blower motor back in but i'm going to leave the resistor out of its hole because this seals up against an air passage so when i turn the blower motor on it's going to blow out of this hole i can keep this plugged in without it being in so it'll just blow out of this spot here which may stir up some more stuff and force it out this way where i can hit with a vacuum and you know compress there just dislodge it from different angles be pretty easy to do because this blower motor literally just twists right back in okay i'm turning it on are you done over there yet we're gonna if i if i turn the blend to the dash it blows it all out the dash that's a problem i've never encountered anything like this before so it's back in and i'm sure it's about to blast blast hard now you feel that motor is still kind of out of balance it's vibrating just a little bit i think
