Blower Motor Install.

[Black Stallion]

Im getting ready to install my blower motor. You guys have any tips let me kno. Where is this thing is it behind that black plastic box?

Make sure you have a small 1/4 drive ratchet handy, it's useful to get to some of the less accessible screws. It's not really that hard of an install. I also too the chance when I did mine to clean on the evaporator core a little and clean up the BCM. To get to it you need to remove the glove box/door assy, and the trim panel under the passenger side of the dash. You will then see a black plastic housing with a vacuum actuator on the top. This is the recirculater door assy. The assy is held on with 7 or so screws around the edge. Remove the screws and any vacuum lines and any electrical connectors that may be in the way, and then removing the housing. You will see the blower motor once you have it out.

Well I have all the screws out that I can see. Are there any hidden? That black box is not moving. Do I have to remove that whole box?

Maybe these pics will help you find the hidden screws:

Yay, at least I am going after the right thing. There must be at least 1 or 2 screws that I missed. I see I dont have to take that canister off. Think I might have to tap on it with a mallot? Thanks for the pics.

Is the blower motor itself behind the wheel? If so how do I take out the wheel?

The motor is directly connected to the wheel. You need to take the motor/wheel assy out and then swap over the wheel.

How do you take out the wheel clip?
