Blower Motor Replacement:
I can confirm one cheap solution for those who are constantly changing blower motors - NAPA part # 455-1744 is a perfect match for the blower motor in a Hummer with the HVAC upgrade - you just have to swap the squirrel cage from your original motor (only have to remove and reinstall one nut...very easy).
It is a very easy job... all you need is a Phillips head screwdriver to remove and re-install the blower motor, and a small ratchet/socket set to change the squirrel cage from one blower motor to the other one.
- Remove black ABS plastic access panel (at the feet of the passenger front) - when it is off you will be staring right at the back of the blower motor.
- Unplug the two electrical connectors that go to the back of the blower motor.
- Pull Remove the small rubber "hose" that goes into the base of the blower motor.
- Remove all the screws that hold the blower motor at the edges; support the blower motor as you remove the last of them. One of the screws will also hold on an "L" shaped electrical contact - make sure you don't lose it!
- Slide blower motor straight out (it will fall when all the screws are removed
- Use a small ratchet/socket to remove the nut that holds the squirrel cage onto the motor, and slide the cage straight off - do this on the old and the new blower motor.
- Install old cage on new motor, secure with the nut.
- Reverse steps 1-5 to reinstall blower motor.
It is a piece of cake.
