I had battery checked and it needed replacement. I did that and the heater
fan worked and then it started slowing down and not working at all. I
suspect the motor is going,,,do you? Is it hard to remove that??
Thanks,
Bill

It's me again. I replaced the blower sensor and then the fan worked. But
slower than I thought. Now it sometimes does not work at all so I hit it
with a hammer and it goes. But I don't think it is working like it should.
I think it needs replacing. Can someone tell me how to get the blower
motor out? I spent 3 to 4 hours removing the glove box and then the area
where the blower is and I still could not remove it. Seems there are air
ducts in the way. Do I need to remove more of the dash and what else???
Thanks, Bill

It shouldn't be necessary to remove more of the dash. For what it's worth, the
service manual for my 1988 Prelude says:

Remove the battery negative terminal.

Remove the glove box and glove box frame.

Remove the heater duct (to the left of the blower).

Remove three mounting bolts holding the blower assembly.

Disconnect the wiring to the blower motor, resistor and recirculation control
motor.

Remove the blower assembly.

If you want to feel bad, remember that there are several people back in the
factory that can install one in less than 30 seconds.
