Heater Blower Motor - Very slow

The blower for my A/C & heater barely moves any air even on high. I'm thinking the blower motor is bad, but I thought I'd ask if anyone else saw this and how they fixed it.

BTW.. This site is GREAT!!!!

The blower motors in our cars can be more than twenty years old and have turned thousands of revolutions. Time to replace. You'll be amazed at how much more air a new motor will push.

They're only $20 from autozone. The new one was quieter as well in my case.

Also clean your squirel cage. The build up of dust and oil really restricts airflow.

Pass side of the engine bay against the firewall. There's a bad pic in the following link, post #4:

Oh, cool. its that big black thing right on the pass side top. Mine has a sitcker saying don't touch because its AC. lol

Oh, does anyone know where it pulls the air from? is it right out of the engine bay, or is it through that vent looking thing by the wipers...
