I need to replace my blower motor in my '03 FX35, as the current one has some bad bearings in it. I already took apart the engine bay around the battery, only to find that the blower motor is not located inside the engine bay. So its behind the dash on the driver's side, or so I assume. Any help on this procedure would be much appreciated! I replaced the fan motor in my old '78 Chevy truck, but that was a cake walk compared to this...

So what do I NEED to remove to make this happen? I don't want to remove twice as many screws as necessary, only to find this out in the end.

Did you ever get the blower fixed? I have the same problem and have yet to find any help on replacing it.
