Blower Unit Component Replacement

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Acura TSX, 2007 Acura TSX, 2006 Acura TSX, 2005 Acura TSX, and 2004 Acura TSX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Note these items when overhauling the blower unit:

The recirculation control motor (A), the blower motor (B), and the dust and pollen filter (C) can be replaced without removing the blower unit.
Before reassembly, make sure that the recirculation control linkage and doors move smoothly without binding.
After reassembly, make sure the recirculation control motor runs smoothly (see RECIRCULATION CONTROL MOTOR TEST ).
