Blower motor question for 1998 honda civic ex?

A typical sign of a bad blower motor is the motor only working on one setting when the heat or AC is turned on. Colder climates can also affect the blower motor's performance, especially when it is run on high continuously. The blower motor in your Cavalier is located on the front passenger side beneath the dashboard, concealed by a piece of black trim panel.

Step 1 Raise the hood on the car and locate the battery. Remove the negative battery cable from its post with your socket wrench. Wrap the metal end of the cable completely with black electrical tape. Lay the cable down, away from the engine and any other metal it may come in contact with.

Step 2 Open the front passenger side door on the Cavalier. Just beneath the glove box under the dashboard are three bolts holding a piece of trim panel in place. Remove all three of the bolts and set them on the driver's seat. Carefully lower the trim panel from its position under the dash. Do this slowly while making sure there are no wires caught around the trim. Set the trim out of the way on the driver's side floor.

Step 3 Unplug the blower motor's wiring harness. Do not pull it off by its wires. If you have trouble lifting the safety clip on the harness, use a flat-head screwdriver to carefully lift the clip.

Step 4 Support the blower motor with one hand at its base. Remove the three retaining bolts holding the blower motor in place. Slowly lower the blower motor from its housing. Make sure as you lower the blower motor, that it is clear of all wires under the dashboard.

Installation

Step 1Inspect the new blower motor to see if there is any damage that is readily visible. Set the old blower motor and new one side by side. Compare them against each other to make sure they are the same. Make sure the wiring harness plug on the new blower is also the same as on the old blower motor. Spin the fan cage in both directions on the new blower motor. It should rotate smoothly, free of any obstructions.

Step 2 Install the new blower motor back into the housing in the exact way you removed the old one. Hold it securely in position and hand thread each of the retaining bolts. One at a time, tighten down and completely secure each of the three bolts. Return the blower motor's wiring harness to its position on the motor. Carefully push the harness into its plug until you hear the safety clip engage.

Step 3 Place the trim panel back into position under the dashboard. Reinstall all three of the trim panel's bolts by hand to ensure they thread correctly. Completely secure each bolt with your socket wrench.

Step 4 Remove the black tape from the battery cable's terminal and secure the cable back to the battery. Start the car and test the new blower motor. Make sure that your test includes running the blower motor on each setting between high and low.
