Where is the blower motor located and how do you replace it?

I assume you're talking about the HVAC blower motor?

I have the next generation older Pontiac and mine is located underneath the dash on the passenger side. Hang on, I'll try to find a schematic.

It isn't that hard to get to either. Are you 100% sure it's the motor itself and not an electrical issue?

Yea the motor is making rattling noises and dragging.

Okay. From what I'm seeing online, the process should be similar for your '05 to my '98 (though I don't remember having to get through this much crap to get to it).

Check out this thread.

It has pictures and everything. I'm a visual person, so pictures always make me happy.

No problem.

Mine quit working a while back. Pulled it out, checked all the electrical connections and they were fine. ran a wire straight from the battery to the blower and it spun up just fine.

Plugged it back in and it started working, so I bolted it back up and went on with life. Not sure if it had just gotten frozen and needed a jump start of if I'm Pontiac Jesus, but either way I'm not complaining.

Good luck on your repair.

I have some practical experience here. Same car years ago. Ready to head to the beach one summer, and fan craps out. I pull the fan and cover the hole with cardboard and tape seal. Get up to speed and the vehicle's draft alone provided adequate air conditioning air flow.

Of course when you're stopped, there's nothing.

If OP wasn't in South Dakota and it wasn't December, that might be useful.

Agreed, it's been close to -20 the last few mornings.

You don't think it would draft with the heater? Better than nothing.

But yea, South Dakota is freaking cold . . . .
