Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and parts required.
  • Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shock.
  • Set the vehicle on a flat surface and ensure it is in park with the engine off.
2. Remove the Blower Motor
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Locate the blower motor under the dashboard on the passenger side.
    2. Remove the cover panel to access the blower motor (if applicable).
