A/C not moving any air

I think the fan portion of my A/C is going out. It seems to work intermittenly which is kinda bad down here in TX. What is the name of the part I need to replace and where can I find it? I hope it doesn't require a technician and I can do it myself. Anyone done this themselves? Thanks in advance.

Yep...and it's cake to change. There are 5 or so bolts holding it in, 7mm as I recall, and the wire harness. It just slides out...you'll have to reuse the "cage" part.

GNboy: It's just not blowing at all. No wirring sound or anything. I think I'm gonna go with the HD version that JCWhitney sells, unless someone has a better version.

its probably out but this just popped into my head my buddy had a simalar problem with his gta and it turned out the squirrel cage and ducting were clogged with lint and crap you may want to pull it before buying a new one (most places dont take returns of electric parts)
