heater blower motor

[Easy48827]

Hi, new to the forum and have a question. My wife's 99 Century 4 door has an anoying squeek/chirp in the heater fan. It either needs to be replaced or have some debris removed. One mechanic said I had to remove the entire dash, the other said just to remove the glove box. Anyone know for sure before I start digging?

Thanks for that. I guess I am off to Autozone tomorrow. I'll post and let you know what has to be done.

Remove the lower dash trim, glove box door, and blower connector. Remove the screws and drop the entire blower. The task is fairly self-explanatory once the lower trim is off. The front screw is the biggest challenge with very little space to use any tools. Make sure you closely inspect the blower resistor array when the blower is out. It's no fun to go back later to replace the resistor.

You do not have to remove the glove box to replace the blower motor on a '97 and up Buick Century or Regal. Just remove the lower passenger side kick panel under the dash. Held on by a few push pin fasteners and small hex head screws. Then you can remove the blower motor. There are three 5.5mm bolts. To get to the blower motor resistor you have to remove the blower motor.

Thanks for a great description and sounds like something I can tackle. I'll let you know how it goes!
