No, take out the Glove box, you will see a big cylinder, that's the fan. it is probably just held on by 4 philip screw or Torx screw.
Just move the chair all the way back and lay down in an awkward position.
I had a new fan installed by the local dealer. There still is an electrical issue. I have had it back to the dealer two more times because the fan would cut off without warning. The dealer changed out perfectly good components at my expense and the fan continues to cut off. Sometimes I will go a week before the condition happens. Immediately after losing the fan, I have found that when I cut off the vehicle and restart, the fan kicks back on. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Intermittent problems are a pain to troubleshoot. If you can't duplicate the problem then it's a slow and expensive process. You've got a poor connection or a component with a poor connection in it. Could be the blower motor, HVAC control panel, front blower controller, TIPM, any connection in the system or any wire in the system. First you have to confirm all the contacts in each connection are not corroded or damaged. Then run continuity checks on system wiring while shaking wire harnesses. Once that's done it's a process of elimination. Change parts until the problem is resolved.
The TIPM, your fuse box, has been a source for many electrical problems in the newer vans. I would look in that area first.
And this never happened before they replaced the Fan? maybe they gave u a Bad Fan out of the box, tell them what you are experiencing, try another fan under waranty.
