Blower Motor

[PANDA]

Seriously are these things just something you have to sack up and buy a OEM GM part to replace. I had 3 Ricerzone blower motors in this car. They ALL make noise and get worse overtime until it drives me crazy enough that I have to replace it. The ricerzone blowers have lifetime warranty, so its not that big of a issue, but its a bitch and a half to remove/install one of these, as I just replaced the blower motor again last night. I would like to just install one and be DONE.

that blows. see what i did there?


i replaced my blower motor in the crx with an autozone one at the beginning of the winter and it worked on high for like 7 months it still works. how long till they go?

Do you have any water leaking through the cowl into the blower motor? I've had an advance auto motor in mine for two years now, no problems. But I did notice water leaking into the OEM motor from the cowl, which took out the OEM one.

That was one of the first "modz" i did to my car, fixing that problem... and cabin filters FTW

Yeah, sealing up the cowl and trunk are a must in these cars.

trunk? you know that hole on the sides of the trunk that go to the weird little flapper on the inner fenderwells? my assenger one used to fill up with water and mud all the time. it was weird

 

[skeezer]

I know some chicks with blower motors.

 

[02BlueGT]

I've never had wate in the trunk, other than what I've spilled, and sometimes the snow that will slide in off the rear windshield

Id say 3 blower motors have been in the car the last year.

Didn't see any water anywhere, blower motor looked brand new when I removed it. I was old the original blower motor was kinda rusty when that was removed at 90K, so water could have killed that one.

Cabin air filter looked fine (from the underside) I was was going to replace it at the same time but didn't feel like removing the wipers and cowl. Unless there is a easier way? The cabin filter is less than a year old. It was dirty as fuck when I first replaced it, probably original. It was kinda funny when I was calling around looking for a replacement everyone was saying my car didn't have a cabin air filter even though I pulled it out and showed them where it came from.

Its needed for heat and AC.

The filter is actually listed for an impala, MC, or a regal ( i cant remember)

To replace you only have to pull up the one corner, just turn off the car with the wipers upright, so the are out to the way, remove the one cap screw and the one clip in that corner, and the piece of weather stripping, the cowl cover(or whatever it is called) should pry right up, takes 5-10 minutes for the whole deal.

its because your car doesnt have one stock. regals are the only w-body that came with them. obviously its a direct fitment for one though.

My cowl and trunk were especially leaky and the water that leaked through would create a humid interior, freezing the inside of my windows. I had to use an ice scraper on the inside. D'oh. Not a problem anymore, though.

I had that a couple of times after the snow would fall in my trunk, I hated that shit

ive never had to replace mine... knock on wood...

its prolly cuz the cabin filter is so fucked that nothing can get thru anyways.

If the cabin filter (if you installed one) is so fucked, Im sure you would get a funky smell when you turn the heat or AC on.
