I always have to refer to my Haynes manual for the 850. The floor/defrost motor is on the passenger side. Remove the passenger kick plate, glove box, and knee bolster (ignore the warning printed on the bolster, just undo the bolts and wiggle it out.

The motor in question is against the center console area, but there are two motors. IIRC, the one higher up is the passenger side temperature motor. Do not apply 12V to a disconnected motor, that will break the internal stops!

Also a good time to spray the recirc damper while everything is out of the way, just to the left of the blower.

I would take the panels off, start the car, and hold my hand on each of the 3 motors and verify that they work before R&R. Just move the vent selector. A strong small flashlight helps to see the flapper move.

The car is drivable with the panels removed, just looks ugly.
