How to replace blower motor.

Problems with your blower? Here is some tips:

1. Blower motor only works in speed 1 and 2.
- your relay is busted. Change that.
2. Blower motor only works in high speed
- your resistor is busted, change that.
3. blower motor stopped. Might run sometimes.
- open the shield under passenger side dash. You see motor on right. When car is running, hit it hard with stick or something. If it starts running, you know its life is near to the end. You need a new motor.

Here is how you find and change these parts. (I have done it twice, took me 20 minutes.)

These are tools you need. Screws are not tight, but if you dont have power on your hand, might need extra help with socket. Socket is 6mm.





 First open passenger side plastic panel  and remove parts
 Open plastic shield under dash. Dont have to remove it, just push it down.
 Here you see part locations. Screws that holds motor are number 1,2,3. Number 3 is in difficult place, you need small hands.
Remember, screws are not actualy tight, dont give up. Base is plastic, so be careful not to open wrong way, or overtight when you get them back.

Heat resistor was from www.nippelit.fi
 Open connection.
 Take plastic cover from old part and replace it to new motor.
Put motor on its place (it is a bit tricky, but you know when its in right place when it stays there by it self.)
Last screw (number 3) is a bitch to put back. With a help of tape like this, you can do it.

Then just put all covers back, and you are done!
