Auto Air Conditioning & Heater Repair: 95 Camaro blower motor, squirrel cage fan, thumb screw

Question
My 95 Camaro seems to have a bad blower motor.  Last fall it was getting very noisy and this Spring when I took it out of storage it sounded like a blade broke off and was bouncing around -very loud-...  My question is, where is the motor located and does is it an easy DIY fix to replace?

Answer
Dano,

This is a very easy DIY.

--Remove the sound insulator beneath the right side of the instrument panel (on the bottom) -- it should be held in with 7mm screws at the front of the dash, and maybe a thumb screw at the back.

--Once under there, turn the system on to locate the motors' exact location in the case.

--Shut the system off, unplug the electrical connector, and remove the 3 mounting screws holding the blower motor in.

--with a light and mirror, or just feeling by hand, remove any debris or pieces that may reside in the case

--install the new motor, and reverse these steps!

note: some blower motors require you to transfer the 'squirrel cage' (fan) from the old to the new.

Good luck!
