Tools you will need

Steps
Open the blower access
Switch off the ignition and pull the lower glove-box cover straight down to release it. Move it aside carefully so the blower wiring and nearby trim are not damaged.
Remove the old motor
Unplug the blower connector by releasing its lock. Remove the three motor screws and lower the assembly from the HVAC housing.
Fit the replacement
Align the new motor with the housing opening and seat it fully. Reinstall the screws evenly, then reconnect the electrical plug until it locks.
Close and verify
Reattach the lower cover to the glove box and confirm all tabs are engaged. Run the fan at several speeds and listen for rubbing or vibration.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
