Re: Blower Motor?
What I cleaned out was a lot of carbon build up from the brushes. Plus some dust build up on the squirrel cage. No finger nails, hair or Legos...

Re: Blower Motor?
On mine I didn't see where I could take it apart, seems that mine was a sealed unit.

Re: Blower Motor?
to those who might be interested.........when I brought my car home from the seller, my wife and I started looking over it a little more closely and noticed these little off white pieces of something that looked familiar laying around on the floor and when I opened up the ash tray there was literally hundreds of chewed off fingernails in it 
. This guy must have been saving them for a latter science project. The car went to a detailer right after that since it was the last of December last year, I wonder what they thought of those little things.

Re: Blower Motor?
my blower from Rockauto came with the bracket that the blower goes into, is that needed for the 03? Paper says may or may not

Re: Blower Motor?
No need. Just put the blower motor itself. That's how mine went. I didn't even get a bracket.

Re: Blower Motor?
Look at this, kind of makes me made I spent $118 from rock auto for a VDO blower thats supposed to be a decent brand but has made in china stamped on it. I could have bought this but never even thought of looking on Amazon for it. http://www.amazon.com/Four-Seasons-Trum ... automotive

Re: Blower Motor?
That's odd. I just checked rock auto. When I ordered my blower motor not 2 months ago, there was another option from Delphi for 40 bucks or so. It's weird that it's gone now.

Re: Blower Motor?
VDO Blower motors are junk, vibrate and hum. Should have sprung for the AC Delco

Re: Blower Motor?
Just replaced blower in my 2005 GP two weeks ago because this. Initial problem was the "whack the dash" issue to get it started, then it finally was running so slow it would not defog the windshield. Of course it happens on the cold spells.Alpine_jake wrote:sorry to steal thread but does anyone have a weak blower motor speed on an 03? mine seems to not have enough power or something when its turned all the way up

Re: Blower Motor?
I've been hee hawing around for a month now about installing the new blower motor but finally got so slow it would hardly do a thing. I couldn't believe how easy it actually was, maybe a half hour or so. I called rockauto today about it vibrating, they would only do an exchange, no upgrade to the ac Delco because its past 30 day since I purchased it.
