Module, Power, Blower Motor: Removal
Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable. Wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
The blower motor power module may get very hot during normal operation. If the blower motor was turned on prior to servicing the power module, wait at least five minutes to allow the module heat sink to cool before performing diagnosis or service. Failure to take this precaution may result in possible serious injury.
