Take a look at the first photo in post #1; the plug has a tab that has to be depressed (or at least feeling a little unhappy) to get the plug to release.

Have had car for a year and 2 new heater motors installed. The last one you could kick the floor board and it would fire right up. The dealer finally admitted that they had a bad batch of motors. Mine were all replaced under warrenty. Lucky thing....dealers are 2 hours away.

PLEASE can someone tell me where to find the air filter (not the cabin one)? The manual is so inadequate and has no engine compartment diagram.

Mine comes on when I slap the top of the dash. Disapointing to have so many headlamp failures, a possible short and now a pending blower motor. All this so close to 24K makes me wonder if I was so SMART after all.

Thanks for the tutorial. I've had my blower replaced twice and now my blower is intermittant. I'm still under the extended warranty luckily.

I had a complete failure of my blower motor, and I too spent way too much time trying to figure out how to take the motor out, then I pulled the resister pac out and figured it could not hurt to try the rotation method and wala there it was. My motor commutator also was black and even after I polished it still did not word so I took the motor apart and noticed the brushes were not touching the newly polished commutator so I have my wife bringing me some hardware store brushes which I will size and shape to fit just fine. I am tired of spending the high prices for maintenance items for my car. I also had my AC go out and I found that the R134 had leaked out. Pretty sad for a car that is only 2 years old. I wonder what the EPA would feel about every smart car on the road emptying its coolant every two years!
