How to Change a Blower Motor on a 1996 Pontiac Grand Prix

• Answer:

  The blower motor on a 1996 Pontiac Grand Prix is located behind the glove compartment. Screws or plastic retainers hold the plastic pieces on under the dashboard. If the retainers are plastic, you can pry them out gently with a screwdriver to remove the covers. The blower motor for this particular vehicle comes with a new squirrel cage and can be purchased new instead of remanufactured. Difficulty: Moderately Easy Things You'll Need Screwdriver Set of sockets Extensions Set of wrenches Instructions Disconnect the battery ground cable and secure it so that its exposed metal clamp won't inadvertently fall into contact with anything. Inside the cab, remove the right-hand sound insulator under the dash using the screwdriver or a socket, depending on the type of fastener holding it in place. Remove the convenience center rear screws. Loosen the front screws, then slide the convenience center out. Grab the carpet at the top of the cowl and pull it forward so you have room to get the blower motor out. Unplug the electrical connection on the blower motor. Unclip the wiring harness from its retaining clip. Remove the retaining screws for the blower motor, then remove it from the vehicle.

Connect the wiring harness to the clip. Plug in the electrical connector. Push the carpet back into place. Push the convenience center into place, then install the screws. Reinstall the lower right insulator panel. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
