Blower Motor Harness and Transistor Replace (PICTURES) courtesy of bulldgz - Page 2

Par3773,
Its actually very easy. Just do not secure the holding clips until you have run the harness behind the center console. The wiring is a little stiff and it could make for a few knuckle scrapes. I didn't take the whole console out. I just removed the two screws in the photo and positioned the console to reach back and grab the new harness.

Sorry you have to do it, but I hope the info helps.

It was actually pretty easy. After inspecting the wire harness, it looked OK. No signes of overheating or burning. Next, I took out the fan motor. It was clean and rotated freely. So then I took out the transister. No way to tell if it was bad unless you follow all the electrical checks out of the shop manual. So I just ordered it from Bernardi. The price and stock number is still the same. It is just a 45 minute job. However, I can see where a dealer would charge 3 to 4 hours of labor. If you follow all the electrical tests in the shop manual for heater blower not working, you could easily run up the labor hours.

Thanks for the pictures and ordering info. Saved me a lot of time.
