Hi JT. The blower can be accessed from under the hood. The plastic grille trim piece must be removed. There is a panel held to the firewall with 4 screws that comes off. The wiring harness in that area needs moved out of the way and the plastic engine covers come out of the way. The blower motor has a plastic cover held in place with small springs clips. The clips are easy to drop so be careful. The blower motor wheels must be removed and installed in the car. It is not possible to install or remove the motor with the wheels on it. It sometimes also helps to put the wipers in the vertical position.
you don`t say what type of gm car/truck you have.just about all gm car battery`s are noticeable as soon as you open the hood.some models of cars have a plastic cover over top of the battery but you can see were the battery cables fasten to the battery.gm use side terminals instead of terminals on the top of the battery.corvettes are located under a rear panel behind the interior seats in the floor area.some of them because there is no room under the hood put them in the wheel wells in front of the front wheels between the inner plastic fender panel and the outer fender panel in the area behind the headlights were you have to remove the inner fender to gain access to the battery.some of these have only cable connection terminals showing where you can attach jumper cables under the hood.
I would say so. Look at the fuse first...even replace it if it looks okay. Sometimes reseating it will cure the problem...unless you have done that already. But, first, check the fuse.
The fuse panel cover is located at the drivers side of the instrument panel.
turn your wheels sharp to the left. Than look inside the wheel well. you will have to look behind a plastic door. You can boost the car from under the hood.
Step:
1. Turn tires away from vehicle
2. There is a plastic covering in front of the wheel that usually goes around the wheel well. There are plastic thumb pins on the outer edges of this plastic covering. Remove the thumb pins and this plastic piece will come off.
3. Behind this you will find access to your fog lights.
4. Remove/Replace just like an ordinary head light.
When you pull the lever to pup up the hood in the driver seat beneathe the dashbord then go infront of your car the then pulled it up then there will be a stopper and there is a hooh just push the hook beneathe the hood while pushing it pull up the hood so that you can open the hood.
You have to lay on your back under the steering wheel (pain!!) and get a flashlight ..... its under there. Just a STUPID location. (close to the plastic cover aroung the steering wheel shaft)
hi,
you might want to contact a local ford dealer mechanic and ask them if they know a trick before you try and locate that busted cable. Your going to have to do some looking/studying through the grille or under the front of the car, If the car has to come up off the ground I suggest using car ramps, theyre safer than jacking the car up and blocking it If you have to jack the car up blocking the rear wheels is a must and setting the parking brake, while the vehicle is in the air I strongly suggest using a secondary failsafe such as blocks of wood or large pieces of firewood to make absolutely sure the car does not move. Now looking up under the front fascia of the car you will probably encounter a large piece of plastic, it has to come off so you can see above it and its usually held in place by plastic screws or snaps, they either just unscrew or pop out, now with the plastic out of the way you have to study where the black plastic aircraft cable goes into the hood latch( busted latch release cable) and bypass it by either pulling the inner cable inside with needle nose pliers where it broke off, or pulling the metal area where the latch release cable was attatched with needle nose pliers. untill you get a replacement you can temporarily use some bailing wire to hook where the busted cable went and bring it through the grille with a loop.
