How to Remove a Blower Motor From a Ford E-150 Van

Before you replace the blower motor in your 2014 Ford E150, check the fuses. If the fuses are fine and you need to replace the motor, you can get to it from under the hood. On models with air conditioning, you will have to move the accumulator, so take care not to bend the lines too much. While working in this area it’s a good idea to wear gloves to protect yourself from sharp edges and screw tips.

Things You'll Need

  • Flat-head screwdriver
  • 3/8-drive ratchet
  • 3/8-drive metric socket set
  • 3/8-drive 3-inch extension
  • Battery memory saver
  • Torque wrench
  • Install the memory saver per manufacturer’s instructions, disconnect the negative battery cable, then the positive one, and remove the battery from the van. Remove the battery tray using the ratchet, extension and socket.

  • Remove the three screws holding the accumulator and move it to the side. Take the small flat-head screwdriver and remove the electrical connection on the motor. Remove the aspirator tube and the four screws holding the blower motor. Remove the clip and pull the blower motor retaining plate off, and if you have air conditioning, rotate it so it’s easier to get past the accumulator.

  • Install the new blower motor, retainer plate and screws. Connect the harness connector until you hear a click, then the aspirator tube, and the clip.

  • Move the accumulator back into position and install the screws. Install the battery tray and torque the bolts to 21 foot-pounds. Connect the battery, positive side first, and remove battery memory saver.
