Hi,

The blower motor on this vehicle is located under the dash and behind the passenger side glove box. The hardest part of replacing the blower motor is having limited space to work.

Regardless, it isn't too hard to do. First, here is a link that shows in general how one is replaced. Read through it and then use it as a guide.
