Have 2007 Pacifica. Recently A/C fan sounds like an airplane when on high. It gets extremely loud and air doesn't seem to be coming out as forcefully as it used to. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for help!!

 

trash in the motor or bad motor itself

 

Where is the motor located and how would I get to it to check for trash?

 

REMOVAL
WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable. Wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.




NOTE: The blower motor is located on the passenger side of the vehicle under the instrument panel. The blower motor can be removed from the vehicle without having to remove the HVAC housing.


1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the passenger side cowl trim panel (Refer to 23 - Body/Interior/PANEL, Cowl Trim - Removal) .
3. Position the carpet to access the front upper air inlet housing (4).
4. Disconnect the wire lead connector (8) from the recirculation door actuator (7) and remove the actuator (Refer to 24 - Heating and Air Conditioning/Controls/ACTUATOR, Recirculation Door - Removal) .
5. Disconnect the blower motor wire lead connector (2) from the blower motor resistor or power module (1), depending on application.
6. Remove the one screw (5) (from the top) that secures the lower air inlet housing (6) to the upper air inlet housing.
7. Remove the four screws (9) (from the bottom) that secure the lower air inlet housing to the upper air inlet housing and the lower HVAC housing (3).




8. Push the rubber grommet (2) through the opening in the lower air inlet housing.
9. Route the blower motor wire lead and connector (3) through the opening in the lower air inlet housing and remove the lower air inlet housing from the vehicle.
10. Position the recirculation-air door as necessary to access and remove the three screws from the mounting tabs (4) that secure the blower motor (1) to the lower half of the HVAC housing.
11. Gently flex the recirculation-air door downward to gain access to remove the blower motor from the HVAC housing.

NOTE: To aid in installation, note the position of the blower motor mounting tabs prior to removal.
