Robert, Chad, and Allen,

In case yiu don't know = replacement of a heater fan motor required
complete removal of the dash to get at it. Most people who undertake the
challenge repair the foam seals in the heater box at the same time. And
they take care of any other problems under the dash that needs
attention. Once done, they are much happier with the heating of the
van.from up front. It's a chore, but relatively easy, just takes a lot
of time.

Good luck,

Regards,

John Rodgers
