We've been stuck in the 100+ plus temperatures here in noth Texas now for about two weeks straight, and our front blower motor decided to bug on us.
Sometimes it works flawlessly, sometimes it takes a minute for it to come on. Today it took it a long time to turn on, and it never reached full speed.
We need air, and we need it badly, so any quick help would be greatly appreciated.
I have the ability to troubleshoot and check voltages with proper guidance.
For about a three second period a few nights ago I had a distinct smell of something electrical burning. It didn't effect the operation of the AC at all, and it properly that night. I had a phone charger plugged in and figured it was just that going out. But I mention this just as a heads up. The blower motor problem has been going on for a couple of weeks now.

The "by the book" method involves disconnecting the dash assembly and rolling it to the rear so that one lousy screw that is tucked up against the firewall can be accessed. There is a housing surrounding the motor and fan that has either 3 or 4 screws holding the two halves of the housing together.
I have seen a post that says that if you cut away some of the firewall insulation, you should have enough clearance to get the screw out. After that, it's pretty straightforward. Someone also suggested taking 15 minutes or so to remove the passenger seat. You should disconnect the battery for 15 minutes to be sure there isn't an issue with the airbags.
I have done this by the book method and let me tell you, it was not fun at all so I'd give the above suggestions a try.
