Redesigning The Engine Bay
Brief
Design a product that includes a fan and incorporate design for disassembly or repair.
I approached this by integrating autobody/mechanic culture.

Reasoning
Considering the blower motor is located in the dashboard, mechanics have to rip apart the dashboard to locate the blower motor.
This is an inconvenient location for repair and maintenance.
How can we make it more efficient for mechanics to repair the blower motor within a vehicle’s HVAC system?
Conducted Interviews
Through the interviews, I gained their insight on their experience with the blower motor.
Redesign
Integrating another air intake pipe that connects directly to the HVAC system.
This endorses a faster turnover, allowing mechanics to repair the blower motor faster and have a shorter wait time for the customers.
