03 grand caravan sport front a/c blower working and not working and making noise
Sometimes my front ac blower will not blow at all, and will blow sometimes. When it does blow it makes a noises.
And some times it will only blow ant very low speeds. Any ideas? Could it be just the resister and or the motor itself?
How do you replace the motor? The resister is easy.
Thanks, jason

REMOVAL
WARNING: On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in an accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury or death.
NOTE: The blower motor is located on the passenger side of the vehicle under the instrument panel. The blower motor can be removed from the vehicle without having to remove the HVAC housing.
the cover that the recirc door actuator attaches to is what you are removing. There is one screw that is up against the fire wall and you can't access it unless you remove the hvac housing. You have to break the tab off the cover in order to remove it. After you have all of the other screws out, push the recirc door pivot up through the bottom of the cover. Grab the cover and kind of twist it back and forth until the tab breaks off.
