How to replace the blower motor on 93

[nuts n bolts]

My blower motor has stoped working and I would like to replace it myself. The last few times it worked it made a rough sounding noise when on high so I am sure it must be the motor. I replaced the fuse and nothing. Where is it located and how do I get to it? It is a 1993 Intrepeid.

Thanks in advance!

Funny...I've just got through THAT

for another reason (a short circuit)
and I do not remember where the blower was!
But from these Chilton pages, I think it is to the right...and seems it is possible to get to it without even removing the glove box.....

Thanks for your help, I have the motor out and it was an easy job. It sure helps to see diagram with instructions.

Cheers

As it turns out it wasn't the blower motor at all. I replaced it and still nothing. What should I check for next?

If it is equipped with ATC (Automatic Temperature Control) I could be the 15 Speed Blower Power Module, The ATC Control Panel itself, or the Body Control Module since it controls the Blower Power Module.

If non ATC equipped there should be a resistor block you can check and the Fan Switch.

As suggested by AWP in previous post, when blower does not work at all, it is most impostant at least to know if the juice gets to the motor...and that must be tested with motor connected..because once motor is disconnected, one can read 12 v at the feed with a test voltmeter and think supply is good but when load is connected, the voltage can drop to zero. One can use a headlight as the test instrument also. Here obviously, you do not have voltage reaching the motor. At least...with the new motor, you'll probably get rid of the "rough sounding noise", probably worn out or dried out bushings/bearings.

If you do not come to a conclusion soon and need the blower, in the mean time you can run a pair of leads to the blower motor connector and feed 12 v directly ...I would use a plug that fits into the cigarette lighter. Check polarity cause the motor will rotate in the wrong direction if connected in reverse...and while this would nonetheless provide airflow in the right direction, you would be getting much less.
