Removing the Cabin Fan and Air Filter on a Fiat Punto

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Blower motor

In this video, we will see how to remove the cabin fan and air filter from a Fiat car. The cabin filter is located at the bottom left of the glove compartment; remove the plastic cap and pull out the filter. The cabin fan is located directly under the dashboard (next to the previously removed filter); unscrew the securing screws on the fan cover using a screwdriver. Once this is done, pull off the cover with the fan after disconnecting the power cables. Clean the fan as necessary (disassemble the fan and its parts). Finally, reassemble the previously removed fan and all its components under the glove compartment. Test the correct operation at the end.
