Hi:
First, are you sure it's the blower motor and not the resister or switch?

If you are sure, I recommend purchasing a repair manual for your car. It's a very involved job that will require partial removal of the dashboard. A manual will provide step by step instructions and pictures to identify parts.

Let me know if you have any questions.

HI:
When the fan stops working, you need to check if power is getting to the motor. If it's getting power, then replace the motor, but if it isn't, the problem is somewhere else.

Keep in mind, when a fan motor goes bad, it either draws too many amps causing the resister to burn-up, or it just stops working. That's why I don't want you to replace it until we are sure where the problem is.

Let me know what you find.
