If your talking about the AC fan...it should be under your dash in the glove compartment area. There should be 3-4 bolts holding the fan motor in. The fan and motor will drop down as a single unit. Then you can hose it off or whatever...

I would assume he's talking aobut the blower motor. If you have A/C (at least in an EK) you have to take out your A/C condenser and it's in above that.

lol the condenser is the one at the front of the car that sits beside the radiator. Maybe you are talking about the evaporator.

It's just like I said man. The fan motor is underneath your dash on the passenger side. It has 3 or 4 bolts holding it in. If you go look it will be pretty obvious. If you still cant find it I'll take a picture for you...

You dont need to remove anything but the three bolts on the bottom of the blower motor.

How sure are you about that?

I tried to get to just the blower motor and it was a big no-go. Even the Helms said I had to take out the evaporator.

As sure as I can be. I've cleaned out and/or replaced dozens of them. There are three bolts holding the blower motor in from the bottom. If you want to take the whole blower box out you may need to remove the evaporator, but not for just a motor.
