My dad owns this car and the AC recently went out and he does not have accessibility to information regarding how to replace the blower motor. Has anyone done this, or do you have access to detailed instructions from Chilton's, etc.? I tried to look online, but I came up empty-handed. My dad used to own an auto repair shop, so do not worry about your response being too detailed or technical. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
oh shoot, according to the previous answerer, it's under the hood on the firewall. that's a pain in the butt to change. here's a time saving tip that will prevent unneccessary curse words and random wrenches through the windshield of the vehicle beside yours: remove the cradle bolts that attach the lower subframe to the body. either 15mm or 18mm but have a jack under it so it doesn't fall too far. this will lower the engine assembly enough to remove the blower motor. next, use a strap or ratcheting tow strap to pull the engine forward AFTER REMOVING THE ENGINE MOUNTS in front of the engine. this will pull the motor forward and the jack can lower it. after these two steps, the blower motor is gravy. without these steps, you will be bleeding and cursing, guaranteed, i've been there!
discover the blower motor and unplug the electric connection. clean any rust from the area and reconnect. that could shelter it. I purely did that with my daughter's chevrolet final month here in Michigan. If it makes an unusual noise like a screech, that usually shows the around plastic piece that the motor turns is wiped out and desires changing. That expenses approximately $20.
