Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20 plus years of experience repairing and restoring cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly, that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.

In this video, we'll be showing you how to remove and install the blower motor, the sand heater and AC blower motor on this '01 Ford Taurus, the same as pretty much '96 to '07 Taurus. The only tool you'll need is an 8 millimeter socket and ratchet or a wrench. Usually the symptoms of a blower motor going bad is the blower motor starts making noise, high pitch squealing or a low pitch tum. Generally if your blower motor doesn't work at certain speed, you need to check your blower motor resistor.

Looking at the glove box and go underneath, there's a big trim and you can see there's two pins, one there and one there and you're just going to want to reach in and pull them down and this is going to come off pretty easy. It will probably be a little difficult for you as opposed to this one over here. Now, as you can see right here our motor, and there are three screws holding it in, one there and then two up top, there's one over there and then this one right up in there and those are 8 millimeter so we'll remove those.

If you open your glove box, and then you take the little gears and push them in and pull it down, your glove box will come down. You can see that you can, if you need to access those bolts with a wrench, you can access it from in here. This is just a little note to show you in case you have to use an 8 millimeter wrench. I actually use a socket and ratchet so I just go from underneath but you can reach it here through the glove box. The best thing is to have an 8 millimeter socket with a ratchet and an extension. Just before you go too far, here's your connector. You're going to want to stick your hand in there, pry it apart and pull it off.

Okay, once you have the three bolts out, you'll just kind of want to grab on it pretty good to get a little bit and it will come down. You don't want to get stuck in the carpet and stuff, then out. Here's a new motor from 1A Auto and here's the original. You can see everything is the same. The connection is the same. You can have the bolt up and go in just like the original. Okay, actually on this car, the original is working fine. I just want to show you for comparative purposes so you know you're getting the right stuff from 1A Auto.

Okay, putting it back up in is just the reverse. You want to make sure you got the slot part near the dash here. Get your wire out of the way, push up and in, there are guide pins here that help you make sure it goes in there correctly. Please excuse my head here. It's not exactly easy to film without getting in the way. Drive one of our bolts in there and we'll start with the other and start another bolt here. Then reconnect the harness. Now we can put our trim plate back up.
