Function And Symptoms Of Failure
The heater blower motor circulates air through the vehicle’s heating and ventilation system. Common failure symptoms include reduced airflow, unusual noises (rubbing, grinding or rattling), intermittent operation or complete loss of blower function. Typical causes are worn bearings or brushes, accumulated debris inside the fan housing, or electrical issues in the connector/wiring or blower resistor.
Installation Guidance
Replacement is normally performed from under the dashboard on the passenger side or by removing the glovebox to access the blower assembly. General steps: disconnect the battery, remove trim or glovebox as required, unplug the electrical connector, unfasten mounting screws, remove the old blower and fit the new unit in reverse order. Always verify electrical connections and clear any debris from the evaporator/heater housing before final assembly. Recommended for experienced DIYers or professional technicians.
Durability And Maintenance
Blower motors can last many years but lifespan depends on usage, environmental conditions and clogging by leaves or dust. Regular cabin filter replacement and cleaning of the blower housing reduce stress on the motor and prolong service life.
