This video was incredibly helpful and made me feel confident enough to attack this repair myself rather than having the shop do it. After searching around the web and talking to the guy at the shop I think it's fair to say this saved me at least a couple hundred dollars. I didn't end up needing to replace the actual blower motor, just needed to remove it and clean it out. I would recommend that while you have the motor out, take a look up above the inside of the cavity that the blower motor sits in and assess the state of your cabin air filter; mine was all sorts of crumpled up and dirty so I made sure I replaced that as well while I had everything torn apart. This involved also removing the glove box in addition to the panel shown in the video but that's a simple task you can find how-to's for all over the web. After I pulled the filter out, there were all sorts of fuzzies, tissue looking material, small leaves, and other gunk that would have fallen right into the blower motor had I been changing this filter while the blower was still in place. Thanks again for the very informative material!
My favorite youtube channel! Thank you sooo much! I received my part on yesterday, only took 15 mins to replace my part. Part came in just in time, for the weather... I previously removed the old part. You saved me $900. Thanks for the excellent customer service.
My 2013 Equinox Blower started clicking, and when the fan was turned up high the whole dash shook. This video was very helpful in letting me know this was a problem I could tackle myself. Fortunately, the blower motor didn't actually need to be replaced. Unfortunately, it was unbalanced because there was a dead mouse in the blower basket!
My 2012 Equinox had a third screw holding the panel on. It is in the area where you describe the hook. My panel really was a difficult remove job with the 3rd screw still attached. I noticed the 3rd screw when I was reinstalling the panel. Thanks for the video.
My 2013 Equinox also had a 3rd screw at the back near the center of the vehicle. I noticed the screw when the panel wasn't coming loose and though I just misremembered what the video said.
Just bought a new blower motor for my 06 Torrent am looking to follow the same steps, this video is definitely reassuring, pretty simple stuff. Wish me luck!

Like others, pull it and clean it before you replace it. 6 screws and a little contortion but easy peasy. 1 hour including tool clean up and vacuum. Change the cabin air filter and vacuum while you're there.
On my 2013 Equinox, you open the glove box, press on a couple of parts near the top center to get the box to open past a little plastic flap that serves as a stop, then lift straight up to lift the glovebox off the hinges.
Hello! I have a 2010 chevy equinox and have knocking and no cold air out of my car. The knocking is coming from passenger side. It's not the blend door actuator, no vibration from that, but just above that there is. Is it possible that the blower motor is out and that's where the knocking is coming from? Thank you so much for your help!
Hi, I live in Los Cabos, México, my A/C don't make, any sound or wind like a fan, in the cabin, i checked all the fuse , i think the blower ITS dead, sorry muy english, i want to know you opinión

i have 12v going to the fan even when the car is off. I took the fan out and plugged it to 12v and is running, but when i have it installed it doesn't run at any speed. Please advise.
+Samantha Steele You will need to disconnect the negative battery terminal first before you work on your vehicle. Hope this information helps and good luck with the install!
+BigMystic18 Gaming It may be a different procedure on your application. We currently do not have an auto repair video for this particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking. 1aauto.com
+RejectedManiac At this moment, the closest how-to video we have to your request is for this vehicle, which is very similar to the one you have. The steps may not be 100% the same, but should contain an adequate amount of information necessary for accomplishing this task

I just change this out in my 2013 Chevy equinox after watching this video. Never did any car work prior. Thanks!
Why did you change it was it slow??
It took me 57 minutes to drive, get part, and to find tools and install it. Saved at least $150. Thanks

Mine just made a clunking noise and stopped. Now it won’t work. Hopefully it’s just clogged

Same on my 2015 equinox. Two 7mm screws towards the front, and one in the back on the little tab. Tight squeeze :)

Fan speed is the same from settings 3-6. Should I replace the blower motor or the resister?

Did you check the resistor? It's nearby.
Do I need to unplug the battery?

i see it says 06-15, but would it be the same for a 2005?

This is a very deceiving video because my 2010 equinox doesn't have this panel...
