Where Is the Blower Motor on a 2004 Concorde?

The Concorde hit the marketplace in the 1993 model year, as Chrysler attempted to keep pace with other, more modern, automakers. The Concorde was ultimately a success, as it remained in Chryslers lineup through the 2004 model year. The 2004 Concorde came standard with heating and air conditioning, as well as an electric blower motor that circulated air through the vehicle. This blower motor is slightly tricky to find, as two trim panel obstruct your view of it. Once you find the blower motor, replacement is a cinch.
