Blower Motor

[wheeee32]

Has anyone replaced the blower motor that sits on the passenger side right below the glove box? Mines making the noise of a small frog when you shut off the fan so it's going down the road of being replaced at some point. Can this be replaced without taking apart the dash or is that the daunting task I face?

Easy. Just look at it from the floor up and you will know. Mine was replaced in minutes under the recall. I don't know what years the recall was for.

I have the habit of keeping the fan at level 4 too, that does shortens the motor's longevity ... Now that i know it i tend to set it lower and adjust the heater instead ...

I was always told to bring the blower motor up to high then set it to a lower speed, this was supposed to help with longevity? Wether that was an old wives tale I don't know, but since I've started doing that I've never had a blower motor start whining from the bearings.

HOW TO: replace blower motor assembly

Sweet! Thanx for the link Corwyn. I was looking at it again today and it did look like could be turned and dropped out. I didn't notice the electrical connection on the side until I read this and went back to look at it again. I'll find out how much the part is and then hopefully do this before I ship out for boot camp.

I recall paying around $120 for mine, not too bad considering all the money I didn't spend on having them install it.

40$ is a junkyard ...

TYC GENERA Part # 700154
Can anyone tell me if that is the right part number for the blower motor? If so the price is really good on RockAuto.
