Replacing heater blower motor

Jan 14, 2009

- Thanks guys for all of the help. I replaced the motor over Christmas (it was really easy) and it works great now.

For anyone wondering how to replace the heater blower motor:
Remove two screws on bottom of front face of glove box
Remove Glove box
Heater is just behind the glove box on the right side (the motor points downward and the fan is in a big round shroud).
Un plug the cable bundles that get in the way of removing the blower moter (the motor will come straight down).
There are three bolts holding the blower assembly in place, remove them and the blower assembly can be removed (pull downward).

The replacement motor I got at Advanced (like $43) was a bidirectional motor, so the leads for the motor were not in a connector like the original motor (no big deal). I hooked the black wire from the new motor up to the connector were the wire with the line on it (from the truck) was and the red wire from the motor to the solid colored wire from the truck (the wires from the motor had leads that you could slide into the connector from the truck). It works great now.

I was hoping that it wasn't the resistor, because then I would have had to wait a couple more days for the resistor (more days with no heat).
