I have a 2006 QP sport gt that I recently removed the blower fan from. It's awkward but it's possible to get at from the passenger footwell:
- Remove the lining under the dash. You should be able to see the blower up above a horizontal bracket. (see photo below).
- To get the bracket out you'll first need to get the carpet up and remove the aluminium ramp/footrest.
- I think there's also some wiring on the bracket that needs moving out of the way.
- Then remove the horizontal bracket.
- Next towards the front of the car you'll see the wiring connector into the blower. You need to squeeze in the plastic clips and pull it out. I found it very difficult to remove, but when I eventually got it out I could see why. The connections were all tarnished especially the largest that carries the motor current.
- If you look at the blower (mirror helps) you'll see 6 fixings. 3 around the the outside and 3 nearer the centre. The outside ones hold the whole blower unit in and the other 3 hold the plastic cover onto the motor itself.
- In principle removing just the outer fixings should be enough but you'll find there's not quite enough room to get it out. What I did was also undo the inner 3 fixings. With a bit of jiggling I was then able to remove the plastic cover first and then the motor itself. It's fiddly but doable.
