Hello all,
Long time lurker, first time poster. Thanks to everyone who has posted useful info here. Posting for posterity.
I am posting because our stealership wanted $1100 to replace our front cabin blower that crapped out months after getting wet (clogged A/C drain). I politely declined and asked for the part (# TD1161B10), they asked for $700. I, again, declined.
After searching online for a few hours, I found prices ranging from $450-700. I still didn't like those options, so I gambled with aftermarket. I purchased a blower from RockAuto made by a automotive HVAC company named Four Seasons (# 75817). It claimed to be a direct fitment and, at only $69 + 20 for overnight shipping, it was only a fraction of the cost of overpriced OEM.
The most important thing is that this aftermarket part works!
