Introduction

If your 2002-2006 CR-V's fans are no longer blowing air when your air conditioning or heater is engaged then your vehicle may be suffering from a dead/faulty blower motor. This part tends to go bad with time and as these vehicles are getting to be at least 20 years old, this is becoming an increasingly common problem. This guide will focus on providing easy-to-follow instructions on how to replace your vehicle's blower motor.

The blower motor is responsible for blowing air out of the vents when using the vehicle's air conditioning or heater. It is important to make sure you have a functioning blower motor especially if you live in very cold or very hot climates.
