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.
