Defroster blower motor removal

Featured Replies

Hello Fellow Soob People

My blower motor is making a vibration and sounding bad. How hard is it to locate remove and go through this unit. I've had such wonderful luck rebuilding different things on my soob, and I think this unit needs my help.

 

I beleive it's underneath the pass. side dash since thats where all the ruckus is coming from, and I haven't been able to tear into anything yet, just looking for some advice.

 

Thanks

I changed out mine for a new one a few months ago.

 

It was easy to get at.

 

I pulled the plastic panel off the is right below the glove box.

This exposed the blower motor. IIRC it had 4 10mm bolts holding it place and one of them also held the resistor pack in place.

 

A replacement motor was 35 ish from checkers.
