to look for and I will get through it eventually.

Thanks to all your helps outhere specially Upallnight!!!

I just wanted to make an update on the A/C Not working due to
dead auxiliary fan, and keep pushing Hot air inside the cabin.
Unfortunately I did Not have pictures coz I was trying to get done as quickly
Well, I don't know for other year/models, but after several attempts to get
the Old fan out of the car, I discovered that the auxiliary fan comes out from
under the bumper, meaning sliding under the car. But it is much easier to have someone with you like I did, otherwise the bumper just needed to lay down
a little bit,

not completely remove. Once you locate all the screws and
remove them, the bumper just need to slightly lay down so you can remove
the two sides plastic peaces one on each side that holds the air around and
remove the two screws that support the aux fan, you're good to go.
I just did the same reverse procedure by sliding the new auxiliary fan under the front bumper about 5 minutes, the new fan already installed.
I quickly connected the aux fan and start the car, put my A/C on to see
the effect and Booommmmm Aux fan kicks in, and now I immediately noticed
that my cabin filled with cold air like never before and say bye bye

to hot summer time coming.
