Depending on your year, make and model vehicle, the blower fan could be located under the dash -- usually behind the glove box -- or on the firewall in the engine compartment. The switch on the dash and the blower motor resistor controls the blower fan speeds. The blower fan does not usually come with the squirrel cage, as the cage rarely breaks. You remove the blower fan and the squirrel cage as an assembly, then remove the cage and bolt it onto the new fan.
