The fan for the air conditioning won't come on. Sometimes if I hit a hard bump it will start working again, but it shortly quits when I go to drive the car again. I have checked the fuses and I haven't found that to be the problem, so I a pretty sure it is a loose connection. Where would the heater fan be located and if this sounds like the problem, how can I fix it?

Hello,

This could be due to a loose connection or a internal malfunction that causes the fan to come on if you hit a bump.
The blower motor is located under the passenger side dash.
In order to remove the motor, you will first have to remove the evaporator case. This will allow access to the mounting bolts for the blower unit.

I have attached complete replacement procedure below.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
