How to Change a Pontiac Grand Prix Blower Motor
by Juanita WilliamsA blower motor distributes heating and air-conditioning coolant through your vehicle's entire coolant system. The blower motor is an essential component for the distribution of your vehicle's heating and air conditioning. The results of a faulty blower motor are poor circulation of heating, no heat and/or lack of air conditioning.
Step 1
Remove the four to six screws from the insulator panel using a Phillips screwdriver. The insulator panel is located in the passenger compartment under the dashboard.
Step 2
Pry the insulator panel apart from the dashboard using a flathead screwdriver.
Step 3
Disconnect the electrical connector from the blower motor. Stick the flathead screwdriver between the electrical connector retaining clamp while pushing upward to release the electrical connector.
Step 4
Disconnect the blower motor cooling hose from the blower using a pair of pliers. Apply pliers to both ends of the retaining clamp, pressing downward while applying pressure to release the clamp on the hose.
