How to Install a Dodge Blower Motor

Installing a blower motor in your Dodge vehicle is a little complicated, as the blower on Dodge vehicles is situated behind the dashboard. In order to access the motor, partially disassemble the dashboard. Thankfully, it is a straightforward process that takes a while, because it involves removing so many screws. Expect to spend well over an hour simply accessing the blower motor and then another hour reassembling the dashboard.
