1987 Accord - heater blower motor died - it made squealing noises on occasion over the past year – then, on a recent drive, it started varying in speed for a few seconds and then the nasty burnt insulation smell then nothing – none of the speeds work.
Does anyone have specific knowledge of the 1987 series?
I’ve looked at various manuals including the ones provided on this site – but my installation doesn’t match anything I’ve seen. There is no “blower duct” – the connection is direct attachment to the heater/AC box kept in place by a hose-clamp-type strap. I can’t see an upper right side mounting screw on the blower assembly. I can see an upper left side mounting screw and a lower left side mounting screw. Do I need to remove more of the dash to get the to the upper right side mounting screw? Also, how many wiring harnesses do I need to disconnect? I’ve disconnect two but there is a third connector on a white box on the bottom of the fan housing – does this need to be disconnected as well or does it come out with the fan housing?
Thanks for your help!
