Here are the items you'll need for this repair: 7mm socket, ratchet, socket extension, needle nose pliers

Open your glove box, be sure that anything that's going to fall out or roll around on the floor has been removed. Press the back corners of the glove box together until they slide out. Lay the glove box down and pop it out of the hinges.

Remove the two 7 millimeter screws on the blower motor relay bracket. We'll do this using the 7-millimeter socket and ratchet. You'll need a pair of needle nose pliers to pinch these clips on the bottom of the bracket securing the electrical connectors. Pinch those together to compress them, and then push up. It may take a little bit of wiggling. Once you've got them compressed, you should just be able to slide them right up through the opening and grab it. There's one on each connector, they're exactly the same. Now there's a little connector on the back of the relay here, you'll need to push down and you should just be able to pull the whole relay and bracket forward to remove it. Just make sure it's disengaged before you pull too hard. We'll remove that bracket. Slide these harnesses out of the way.

Then take a screwdriver, pry out on the tab for the blower motor resistor. Push up at the same time. Push that connector and the harness out of the way as well. Then there are two 7-millimeter screws on the top there, one on each side of the connector at the three and nine o'clock positions. Reach in there with our 7 millimeter socket and ratchet, and remove those. Once the screws are out, lift up and remove the blower motor resistor from the heater box.

Be careful not to damage anything if you're reinstalling it. Carefully install your new blower motor resistor into the vehicle, be careful not to bend any of these springs and let them touch, otherwise the fan speeds aren't going to work the way you want. Remember that the safety lock side of the connector is going to face to the passenger side of the vehicle. Be sure that none of the wire harnesses or connectors are stuck underneath, and set your blower motor resistor back into the box so you can start your two 7-millimeter screws. Tighten down the two screws with your 7-millimeter socket and ratchet, and remember these are only going into plastic, so we just need to get them snug.

Reconnect the electrical connector for your blower motor resistor. Reconnect the relay, and slide the bracket back into place so you can reinstall and tighten your two 7-millimeter screws with your 7-millimeter socket and ratchet. Slide your connectors back over toward the bracket. White one goes closer to the relay, black one goes to the left of that.

Hook the bottom hinges of your glove box back into place, push the tabs in to close your glove box.

Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the blower motor on this 1996 Chevy Tahoe. The items you'll need include a new blower motor from 1AAuto.com, a flat blade screwdriver, 7mm socket and ratchet, Phillips bit, and pliers. Start off by opening your glove box, pushing in the sides, and pulling it down. Then unhook it and pull.

Next, you want to disconnect these two harnesses right here. So, using a pair of pliers, just push the tabs and pull them free. Next, you want to remove this cover, so pull the back flap up over the tab, and pull the cover down and out. Surrounding your blower motor, there's a series of 7mm bolts. You want to just go ahead and remove these and we'll fast-forward as Don does that.

Next, you want to remove this ground screw using a Phillip's bit. Just reach in there and remove it. Now, pull your blower motor free, and just pull it down and out. On the left is the old blower motor; on the right is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical, and they're going to fit exactly the same.

Push your new blower motor into place and line it up. Once you have it lined up, replace those 7mm bolts. Now, just replace that ground screw. You can see he starts off by just twisting it in by hand, and then tightens it up with his Phillips bit and ratchet. Now, replace that cover. Once it's pushed into place, reconnect those two harnesses. Now, take your glove box, put these two hooks onto these two bars, push in the sides, push it back into place, and you're all set.

In this video, we're going to be working with our 1996 GMC Sierra K1500. We're going to show you how to remove and replace your vehicle's blower motor. Some of these are available as just the motor without the fan cage on it. We're going to show you how to swap the part over as well.

Here are the items you'll need for this repair: 7mm socket, ratchet, socket extension, hammer

Open your glove box. Be sure that anything that's going to fall out or roll around on the floor has been removed. Press the back corners of the glove box together until they slide out. Lay the glove box down and pop it out of the hinges.

The blower motor cover is located here. You have two electrical connectors. The purple on at the bottom left, you can simply pop out toward you. The black connector at the top right has a little tab here where my thumb is, that you'll push down and release as well. Lift up the flap on the top side of the blower motor, pop out the one on the bottom as well. Bend the cover and sneak it out from behind the dash.

Using a seven millimeter socket and ratchet, as well as whatever extensions are necessary, remove the seven 7 millimeter bolts from the perimeter of the blower motor. Be sure to take that little ground tab with the last bolt. Pop that hose off of the H-Vac box, and remove your blower motor from the vehicle.

Now, our new blower motor does not come with the plastic fan cage like this one has here. If that's the case with yours, removing it is fairly simple. You just have to be careful. You don't really need a hammer as big as the one we have here. The only reason I'm using this is because of the depth of the head, so I can get in there and actually hit that center without the handle hitting the plastic and potentially break it. I'm just going to hold the fan firmly in one hand. Give that a couple of taps. Then, you can either try to slide it off by hand at this point - just a little bit of working it back and forth. With just a little bit of effort, that will come off.

If your blower motor had this cooling tube on it, just pop that out real quick. We'll need that on our new part as well. While our old motor may not be aesthetically pleasing, it's still in mechanically fine shape and works properly. We're just going to reassemble it the same way you would with a new part.

All we need to do is line up those splines on the fan and then you should just be able to work it back down. Don't push it down too far, make sure that it still spins freely. If your vehicle had the cooling hose, simply work that back into the opening on the back side of the motor. Spin it around the right way. You're ready to reinstall.

Reinstall your blower motor and fan assembly into the heater box. There's some little alignment pins on there you can set it on. Reinstall your cooling hose, then reinstall all of your seven millimeter screws. Remember that the topmost one has that grounding tab that we need to reinstall. Make sure that the tab sticks out from the volt at the 3:00 position. Once that's in, you can reinstall the remaining six 7 millimeter screws. Slide the blower motor cover back into place. Make sure you lock it back onto its tabs. Black connector goes on the top right, where the ground is. Purple connector goes onto the terminal at the bottom left. That comes from the blower motor.

Hook the bottom hinges of your glove box back into place. Push the tabs in and close your glove box.
