jndnaps Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 OK, Folks. Where's the best place to get a new blower motor for a 96 Deville, and what is the easiest way to replace it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 1) rockauto and 2) hire someone to do it as there can be cutting involved Bruce 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 If you can get really lucky you can try and locate the 3 piece one that requires no modification. I did that with mine as I did not want to drop the subframe. The 1 piece motor is not very easy without dropping the front of the cradle or tipping the engine forward a fair amount GM FAN FOREVER Nice, clean, luxury= fine automobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockfangd Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Not sure to be honest. My 96 had the 3 part one. I found a good used one and replaced it. I like it. Much better than the 1 piece plastic one Was nice as there was no removal of anything. I will see if I can find a number for that setup. Here is one listed on Ebay # 292494125945 BLOWER MOTOR W/ 5 BOLTS BLOWER MOTOR***5 BOLTS interchange # 615-00219 This part will fit these makes and models with these options DEVILLE 94-99 5 mounting bolts ELDORADO 94-02 front, 5 mounting bolts SEVILLE 94-97 front, 5 mounting bolts GM FAN FOREVER Nice, clean, luxury= fine automobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the one I have is 1 piece? Can it be forced out without having to tilt the motor? I can always probably break it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 It can come out. Likely by breaking the cage. I bet that is what happened on the install. That is why it would vibrate GM FAN FOREVER Nice, clean, luxury= fine automobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 sometimes the cage may get fractured either in shipping or during install, Then later on it will break or split as it cycles GM FAN FOREVER Nice, clean, luxury= fine automobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jndnaps Posted May 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 I've had the car for 13 years and never replaced it while I had it. I got it when it was 9YO. Don't know if it's ever been replaced in the first 9 years so don't know if the one in there is the original really. Anyway to tell? I have such a bad temper and and very little patience so I'm looking for the easiest way to do this. Was gonna hit the bone yards this week to see if I can find one. What other years or cars can I get one from? Maybe I'll get lucky and find a car with no engine.. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 95-99 IIRC The 3 part one I have seen hit or miss. Up to around 97. That is the one my 96 had. It sure seemed to be original on mine. Both of my 97s have the 1 part motor. GM FAN FOREVER Nice, clean, luxury= fine automobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
