Fwiw I think I've come across a
single person that's managed to get inside their blower motor and NOT break it. If you're looking for a replacement I bought a TRQ one and it works great, aside from a very slight whirring noise when it's set very low and everything else is dead quiet while driving. Blows air very strong though, ultimately would recommend one. I also still have my old OEM one laying around if you'd like it, no cost just pay shipping, though I pulled it because it was starting to squeak/chirp on occasion (have seen others comment on this happening with age but not sure what the direct cause is)
