I went behind the glove box to access the blower motor but I can't see how you can remove it.

You will need to remove a part of the dash to get to it under the passengers side. Here is a guide that will help you see what you are in for when doing the job

You need to perform test to find out. It can be either and guessing is not going to solve the problem.
