Steps
Lower the glove box
Switch off the ignition and empty the glove box. Press its sides inward to clear the stops and lower it out of the way. Remove the lower panel beneath the glove box by turning it sideways and easing it out.
Disconnect and remove the blower motor
Release the blower wiring connector and unplug it. Remove the motor's mounting bolts and lower the blower assembly from the HVAC housing, keeping the fan cage clear of nearby wiring.
Install the replacement motor
Align the new motor with its slot and locating tab, then rotate it clockwise to lock it into the housing. Reinstall its mounting bolts and reconnect the wiring harness securely.
Reinstall trim and test the fan
Return the lower panel and glove box to their hinges and stops, securing the motor fastener if removed. Turn on the ignition and test the blower at each speed, listening for rubbing or vibration before driving.
