You have two blower motors, the A/C motor is behind the
centre console. The heater blower is at the top of the
firewall below the middle of the windscreen behind an access
plate.

Remove the heater motor then clean it's connections, this
was all that was wrong with mine. While you're there put
some medium weight oil on the bearings.
