Replacing blower motor?

In my opinion yes any one can do it. Anyway it is still very easy. It is under the hood on the right side or passenger side at the rear of the engine compartment. Once you buy it you know what it looks like. All you do is unplug the wire and tube from it and take out the 6 or so screws and remove it if needed remove the wheel from the old on put on the new and put it back. That's it nothing major at all. Here are instructions and the lower location in the diagrams below. Check out the images (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Need to cut that puppy out remove stuff in way then cut along lines see diagram. Then RTV back on

The blower motor can be removed from under the hood on the passangers side firewall. Mark the motor and the firewall so the new one can be installed correctly. Disconnect the cooling tube small rubber tube that hangs down. Carefully disconnect the two wire connector. Sometimes they get a little stuburn or get stuck together. Use a little wd 40 and spray the 6 screws that are around the motor assembly. Just makes it easier to get out so they don't strip. Make sure all other wires are free and out of the way. Slowely wiggle the heater motor shroud back and forth. Most times you probable need a small screwdriver to help to start to loosen it up there is sealer that helps hold it in place . Once you get it a little loose keep moving it to get the sealer loose enough to slip the motor and housing out. Move it straight out as the fan is connected to it. Once removed the fan itself can be removed removing the nut and moving the fan off. You have to remove the fan in order to get the motor off the motor shroud be careful the fan is made of plastic. Install in reverse. Make sure the drain plug and the wire connections are positioned like the motor that came out. A thing to watch is that the motor is on the motro shroud just like the old one came off.

DOCFIXIT IS RIGHT, I thaught I had pulled out the later chevy manual and pulled out a earlier one and without realizing it, gave you the instructions for the earlier heater motor removal. My mistake. Thanks, Docfixit for picking my mistake up

REMOVAL:
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
If equipped, remove the Vehicle Control Module (VCM) from the engine compartment.
Remove the coolant recovery reservoir.
Disconnect the blower motor cooling tube.
Unplug the electrical connector(s) from the blower motor, as necessary.
Remove the blower motor-to-case screws (the lower screw is on the bottom front of the cover).
Disconnect the harness from the blower motor.
Use a razor or utility knife to cut through the cover on the cut line as neatly as possible because the access cover has to be reinstalled.
Starting with upper half of the cover, tear the remaining part of the access cover from the remaining portion. Then remove the lower half of the cover in the same manner.
Remove the blower motor assembly.

INSTALLATION:
Install the blower motor assembly.
Connect the two halves of the access cover together using the three flange clips.
Using black duct tape, place a piece of the tape along the bottom lower edge of the lower half of the lower cover only. The tape has to be the full width of the cover.
Install the access cover onto the case.
Install the screw and align the cut areas.
Seal the cut areas using black weaterstrip adhesive. Do not use RTV to seal the assembly. The weatherstrip adhesive bead should be as straight as possible to ensure a neat and professional finish to the cover. Allow the adhesive to set at least 15 minutes until it skins over.
Attach the electrical connections.
Attach the cooling tube and install the coolant recovery reservoir.
If removed, install the VCM.
Connect the negative battery cable and refill the coolant reservoir to the proper level.

Passenger side at the firewall. Look at the ground real close, it sounds like it may be loose. Sometimes the motor will stop on a bad spot and jarring it wil make it work
