I recently replaced my A/C blower motor. I did 99% of it with a hand mirror because my back is fused and I can't twist very easily. I have the boot connected to the motor, but I can't feel or see the spot it connects to on the car. Could you tell me where to look and maybe a link with a pic?

There is a small fitting on the blower housing that the hose plugs into. It should be right in line where the hose comes out of the motor housing. However, the blower motor can be installed in different positions so it could be clocked wrong, and the fitting isn't where it should be. Normally you can feel it sticking down from the HVAC housing. If you have a hard time finding it you can turn the blower on and feel the air movement where the fitting is.
