I made my last post 20 minutes ago. In that time I found my camera, found the SD card, grabbed my tools, and made a video of removing and reinstalling the blower motor. I'll upload it to YouTube after I edit it. It might not be any good, it's really dark down there and I didn't have a light handy.

Just watched the video. Thank you so much. Now I’m wondering if I got the same duck bill problem and if that is the root cause of my blower motor making intermittent creaking noises

Anyway... I didn't make the video because each time I started to record the camera would stop. I eventually realized that the SD card I was using was too slow to record 1080P video.
Later this week (Friday maybe?) I'll make those videos. The blower video might save you $110. Or... you could take it apart sans video. Its really simple. The fan comes off by squeezing the little spring clip and removing it. Then you can slide the fan off of the shaft. Then there are two Phillips screws on the bottom side. Remove those and the whole motor comes free of the plastic. Lube that bad boy up and dare it to make any noise.

seriously the easiest quick fix ever. Just be careful removing the fabric cover underneath the glove box. I ripped mine and had a shoe repair shop sew a Velcro strip for easy removal/securement.

OK, but for ME, I hope you can tell me how to do it on a '13 F150.... ???

I spoke too soon... now it has died completely. I have it out now, plugged it to a 12v power source and it spun. Squeeky and rough, but it ran. Checked the fuse and relay and they seemed good. Next I will turn the car on to see if there is any power at the connector.
Is there anything else I should look at? I'm hoping its just the motor and not a module.

You have a 2009, therefore your duckbill will either stick close eventually, or it already has.
Lots of threads on it, search Duckbill.
The drain for the condensation in the heater/AC box either clogs or gets baked rigid, making normal AC condensation water stay in the heater AC box. Sometimes it drips onto the pax floorboard, other times people can hear sloshing sounds from that area.

I doubt its the duck bill. There was no moister or water traces around the motor. After I took it out, cleaned it, and lubed it.... it spun just fine with 12V. So now I ruled out the motor.
The voltage at the connector, with the climate ON, was only 10.4V. It did not vary as I changed the fan speed. When I installed the fan, every time I turned the climate on/off it would run for a second then stop.
I'm at a loss here, do I have a bad module? Not sure how to further diagnose this.
