Where Is the Blower Located in a 1999 Dodge Neon?
The blower motor in your Dodge Neon consists of two main parts, a fan cage and a small motor used to turn the fan cage. During normal operation, the blower motor circulates the heat emitted from your Neon's heater core throughout the interior of the car. As time ages everything, the blower motor will eventually fail and need replacing. With a few tools, you can locate the defective blower motor in your 1999 Dodge Neon right at home. Installing a new blower, if required, should take you 25 minutes.

Kneel down within the door opening of your Neon. Comfortably position yourself so that you can see under the dashboard. The long black component that stretches the length of your glove box is your Neon's heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) unit. On the right side of the unit closest to the door, you should see a round component recessed into the HVAC. This is the top of your '99 Dodge Neon's blower motor.
