Typically, when you turn the output dial on your heater fan controls, more hot air will flow through the heat vents on your Accord. Over time, the motor that regulates how much heat is pushed into the vehicle can fail and no air will come through the vents. When this happens, you can either take your car to a mechanic, who of course will charge you for doing the work inside your dashboard, or you can complete the repair yourself in under an hour. Unlike some other components of your car, the blower motor can not be repaired without completely remanufacturing the unit, theore it is almost always replaced when it fails.
Instructions
1 Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal on your battery. This should be done any time you are working on your vehicle to reduce the risk of electrical shock or short.
2 Locate all of the screws attaching the glovebox door to the glovebox. Remove the screws by turning them counterclockwise. Turn the screws on the glovebox frame counterclockwise once you have removed the door. Pull the glovebox frame from the dashboard.
3 Remove the electrical connector from the blower motor unit. This is a series of wires leading into a plastic connector.
4 Turn all connector bolts on the blower motor counterclockwise to remove the motor from the mounting flange. There are four bolts located at the corners of the blower motor.
5 Pull down on the blower motor to remove it from the heater duct.
6 Reverse the process to install the new heater blower motor into the vehicle.

The blower motor resistor on a 2005 Nissan Armada is the component that allows the blower fan to operate at varying speeds dependent upon driver preference. It accomplishes this by electronically regulating the current to the blower motor in conjunction with the fan speed setting switch. A faulty or failing blower motor resister may only allow the fan to operate on one or two setting, or certain settings may not function. The blower motor resistor is located underneath the dashboard, inside the blower motor assembly on the passenger side of the vehicle.
Instructions
1 Open the passenger door and shine a work light into the passenger foot well area.
2 Pry out the push pin from the lower dash side finisher with a flat-head screwdriver. Pull up on the lower front kick plate until it pops loose. Remove the lower dash side finisher and the lower front kick plate as an assembly.
3 Disconnect the blower motor resistors electrical connector. It has multiple colored wires attached to it and is in the center section of the blower motor assembly.
4 Remove the two screws holding the blower motor resistor in place with a metric nut driver and remove the blower motor resistor.
5 Set the new blower motor resistor into position and reinstall its mounting screws with a metric nut driver.
6 Reconnect the blower motor resistors electrical connector.
7 Set the lower dash side finisher and lower front kick plate into position. Press down on the lower front kick plate until it snaps into place. Lift the lower dash side finisher into position and press the plastic push pin into its mounting hole until its fully seated.
8 Test the blower motor on all settings to confirm that it works properly.
