W140 blower motor location?

[KLP 92]

I have a problem with the climate control on my 1997 W140.
The car has been unused for 6 weeks and when i pulled it out today the climate control blowed out NO air at all!! I tried all the buttons but nothing. Checked all the fuses but again nothing. When i switch the fan to full i can here a slight wine but no air comes out of any vents.
I'm thinking its the blower motor seized. Does anyone know where its located and how to remove it? Or does anyone know what else it could be?

The blower motor is probably under the dashboard on the passenger side, if it's anything like the W202. Just pull away several layers of plastic and foam and it's there Someone with an EPC could tell you in seconds.

Found it! Its located in the passenger side engine compartment near the windscreen. Had to remove about 4 panels, 35 screws but eventually found it!! The motor was stuck, a can of WD40, some grease and an hour later job done!

While i had the car in bits i serviced it as well. Full oil, filter, plugs, air filter, pollen filter and coolant change! Checked all the brakes and other fluid levls. Next job is a gearbox oil change!
