blower motor replacment (HELP)
I have a 91 crx si 1.6 , and i'm trying to replace the blower motor. However it's not as easy as it looks. I have a/c in the car so i need to remove the evaporator assembly. But i took out all the bolts and screws under the dash, and still wont budge. Does anyone know what i'm missing???? Please help in MI and I'm cold!
took mine out on my old 90hf....and just the other day, had to replace the blower motor in my 93 teggy.......there all about the same..............
1. make sure you got all the 10mm bolts out
2. there are 2 plugs, unsnap those
3. unhook the little plastic flex tube
4. and unhook the slide wire, for the recirculation air.......its just a wire, within a black plastic tube..theres a metal snap that holds it in place, which keeps it from sliding around, unsnap that....then, take a flat blade and just pop the wire off the tab...
once you've done all that, just pull the whole thang out........the blower motor has 3 phillips screws holding it in, then the motor and the spin fan just come out as one unit.

I just replaced the heater blower on my wagon with a/c a few weeks ago. The helms manual says you need to disconnect the a/c lines going through the firewall to the evaporator. However I was able to replace the blower without disconnecting the lines. There are only 3 screws at the bottom of the blower housing that hold blower motor in place but the problem is that there is not enough room for the motor and blower to drop out the bottom. So the trick is to remove just enough stuff so that you can pull the blower housing far enough forward to let the motor drop out the bottom. I did it as follows:
1) Remove the glovebox and the cross brace at the bottom of the glovebox.
2) Remove the far right dashboard mounting screw. The screw is hidden under the cover for the vent that leads into the door. You have to remove a plastic trim screw to remove the cover.
2) Remove the 2 metal bands for the evaporator assembly. There is one screw on the top of each band.
3) Remove the 2 screws holding the evaporator assembly in place. There is one on the top and one on the bottom. You may want to just loosen the top screw and leave it place to help support the evaporator. The goal here is to loosen up the evaporator housing enough to push it to the left a little away from the blower housing.
4) Disconnect the blower motor electrical connector and the little rubber hose.
5) Remove the 3 screws at the bottom of the blower housing that hold the blower motor in place.
6) Remove the 3 screws holding the blower housing in place.
7) Remove the atmospheric pressure sensor. It is that little black box thing mounted on the right side of the footwell. It is held in place with one screw. It sticks out in front of the blower housing so you need to remove it to get some extra room.
8) Pull and wiggle the blower housing as far forward as you can to give yourself enough room to pull the motor and blower out the bottom of the housing. Don't pull too hard or you may break things. Mine came out pretty easy with little force once I figured out what things were getting in the way.
8) Replace the blower and motor and put everything back together.
This worked on a wagon so I am not sure it will work on a CRX but it is worth a try. Otherwise you may have to go under the hood and disconnect the a/c lines that feed through the firewall which is a bit more involved.
