00 XC Clkimate Control blower V70-XC70 2000

Yesterday when I turned on the climate control, the blower motor kicked on but made a noise like a bearing was bad, then it stopped operating. The recirculation button and the A/C off button then blinked in orange. I am assuming I have a bad blower motor. What should I expect to pay? How many hours should this take to fix, how much is the blower motor, etc. Just want to know what I'm getting into. This 2000 XC has become a money pit. I've done the bevel gear, the ETM at 89,000 was out of my pocket, and in late December the flap the shuts of the gas tank in case of rool over slammed shut. Obviously a faulty part, still $1,000 out of pocket and no car for 3 weeks!

Ant help on the climate control fan prognosis would be appreciated.

    Sounds like you just need a new blower motor as it has siezed. I have ordered from these guys before but the price seems higher than what I recall a few years ago when I did this with out 850. http://www.eeuroparts.com/productdetail.aspx?searchResults=1&code=8126 www.fcpgroton.com also has the same one for $165.
    There may be other vendors with better prices out there. Others can chime in. You should disconnect battery negative lead (at least 10 mins) so you don't activate the airbag in the same area as the blower motor. It's pretty straight forward...open kick panel under passenger's side (1 torx screw I believe, but your model might be different), remove glove compartment, and metal cover over airbag balast area. Carefully disconnect all wire clips (air bag too), and get everything out of the way until you get to the blower motor further down. After the swsp, re-attach all connectors, and put all back in with the torx screw. Then connect your negative battery cable and set your radio code, hours and minutes on your dash and you should be done. Eventually all of these motors seem to sieze up.
