Caution: Unplug the blower motor before removal. Blower motor case contact with any ground may start the fan and cause personal injury.

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the I/P lower insulator panel - RH. Refer to Instrument Panel Insulator Panel Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.
3. Disconnect the wiring harness electrical connector from the blower motor control module.



4. Disconnect the blower motor control module electrical connector from the blower motor.



5. LOOSEN the blower motor control module forward two retaining screws (nearest the dash mat) approximately 5 mm (0.197 in).

(The resistor is slotted at the forward retaining locations.)

6. Remove the control module rear retaining screw.
7. Tilt down the rear of the control module.
8. Remove the blower motor control module from the vehicle.

1. Position the blower motor control module forward retaining slots onto the forward retaining screws.
2. Align and seat the control module to the HVAC module.
3. Install the control module rear retaining screw and drive until just secure.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

4. Tighten all the control module retaining screws.

Tighten
Tighten the blower motor control module retaining screws to 1.6 N·m (14 lb in).




5. Connect the blower motor control module electrical connector to the blower motor.



6. Connect the wiring harness electrical connector to the blower motor control module.
7. Install the I/P lower insulator panel - RH. Refer to Instrument Panel Insulator Panel Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.
8. Connect the negative battery cable.

Tighten
Tighten the negative battery cable bolt to 15 N·m (11 lb ft).

9. Program the transmitters. Refer to Transmitter Programming/Synchronization in Keyless Entry.
