The blower motor delivers hot and cold air into the cab of the vehicle for temperature-control purposes.

The engine options for a Ford Excurion include 5.4-liter, 6.8-liter and 7.3-liter engines.

Disconnect the bolts from the mounting bracket of the blower motor with a socket wrench. Remove the hose from the vacuum pump on the blower motor and disconnect the vacuum pump. Remove the mounting bracket from the vehicle.
