I have a 2001 Chevy Prizm. The fan for my heater started only working on high for the last several months. The fan is still only working on high speed but now it is making a loud noise also. What do I need to do? Where is the blower motor located and how do I get to the blower motor if I repair this myself? Thanks for your help.
