Step 4

              Replacement
  • Slide the new or refurbished blower motor back into place by rotating the part and make sure it is aligned and snug and place the back plate and screws and finishing with reconnecting the wiring harness.
  • A minimum of 4 of the five screws are needed to ensure the fan is secure and doesn’t wobble or become unaligned so that the proper spacing is kept and the fan doesn’t shatter.
  • Double check by starting the ignition, and turning on the heat and fan. You should have a good amount of air blowing through your vents in the vehicle. Job well done.
