Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear position, connector style, terminal count, and rotation before installation. Confirm the wheel diameter and flange-mounted layout match the original unit, and inspect the blower housing and connector for heat damage or corrosion before fitting the replacement. Because this is a plug-in motor with a female connector and blade terminals, make sure the vehicle harness and terminal orientation align with the original configuration.
