Default Im canadian, its winter, and my heater is down!

OK, I just started my car (1990 civic hatch dx). Turned on the heat it was blowin and just faded away. I've got a parts car with a good motor in it but im not to sure where it is or how bad it is to take it out. Anyone know where i can find some instructions on how to get this done, im freezin my ***** off here.

no its not that, wut i meant was the fan faded, stopped blowin. prob. gunna have to swap the blower motor but curious as to how extensive it is b4 i go out into the snow, dig out the parts car and start takin bolts out. With the way this car has been i woodnt be suprised if the dash needed to come out

do ANY of the speed's work? or none? sometimes a resistor dies and only 1 or 2 speeds stop working.

no, none of the speeds work, im almost positive its the motor. fuses are good... wiring is good... just a matter of figuring out how the motor comes out and try that. thats the point im at.

It's not very hard to change the motor, you do know where it is right? Just take off the glovebox and get down and look under the dash, its a few 10mm bolts i think.
