Steps
Disconnect the blower motor
Switch off the ignition and locate the blower motor under the passenger-side dashboard. Release the electrical connector lock and unplug the motor without pulling on its wires.
Remove the old motor
Remove the motor's three retaining screws and lower it from the HVAC housing. Check the fan wheel and housing for debris or damage before fitting the replacement.
Install the replacement motor
Align the new motor with the housing and lift it into place. Reinstall the three screws evenly, then reconnect the electrical connector until its lock engages.
Test blower operation
Turn on the ignition and run the blower at each speed. Listen for rubbing or abnormal vibration, and confirm the connector and motor remain secure before reinstalling any under-dash trim.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
