Replace the heater and air-conditioning blower motor on a 1980–1996 Ford F-150, F-250, or F-350 by transferring its vent tube and sealing gasket.

Steps

1. Disconnect the blower wiring

   Switch the ignition off and unplug the blower motor wiring connectors. Release the upper harness clip from the motor housing.

   Remove the four 5/16 inch mounting bolts and withdraw the motor. Pull off the vent tube and remove the old gasket, cleaning the mounting surface without scratching it.

3. Prepare the replacement motor

   Apply the new gasket to the motor flange, aligning it with the mounting holes. Transfer the vent tube and confirm it is fully seated.

4. Install the blower motor

   Align the motor locating tabs with the housing and push it into place. Start all four bolts by hand, secure the harness clip, and tighten the bolts evenly.

5. Reconnect and test

   Reconnect the blower wiring and upper harness clip. Run the fan through its available speeds and listen for rubbing or unusual vibration.
