Steps
Remove the lower cover
Switch off the ignition and work beneath the passenger-side dashboard. Release the plastic cover clips and set the cover aside to expose the blower motor and electrical connector.
Remove the old blower motor
Unplug the blower motor harness, then remove its three retaining screws. Lower the motor and fan cage from the HVAC housing without pulling on the wiring.
Install the replacement motor
Lift the new motor into the housing and align it with the mounting points. Reinstall the three screws securely, reconnect the wiring plug, and confirm the harness is clear of the fan wheel.
Refit the cover and test
Clip the lower cover back into place. Turn on the ignition and test the blower through its speed settings, confirming smooth airflow and no unusual fan noise.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
