Thanks for the feedback sandrooney. I am hoping that being a seasonal camper rather than full timer will spare me from the blower motor change “PIA experience” that you just had. For those of us not so lucky your description can help a lot.
Sounds like you took out the passenger side desk tray assembly in order to access the motor at the rear to make the necessary under dash mods to be able to then drop the motor to the floor from under the rear dash space.
It also sounds like the motor comes out the back of the blower housing enough (once motor mounting screws are removed) to be able to remove the metal fan blade from the motor shaft, but the blade must then have to come out the front of the blower housing somehow?
The new motor with plastic fan blade must be separated first I expect; motor is installed from under dash at the rear of the housing (thanks to your previous under dash clearance mods); then the new plastic fan blade goes into the blower housing from the front somehow and re-attaches to the new motor shaft?
I assume there is an opening already in the front of the blower housing to allow fan blades in and out or did you have to make an opening there too? I assume the blower motor resistor pack (used for speed control) would also be mounted inside the blower housing? Thanks for your feedback and input on this subject sandrooney, I think there are lots of folks that will find any clarification information on this subject helpful.
