Hi All,

When I started my car this morning I heard a loud pop from the passenger side dash. Now when I increase my fan speed I feel a vibration and hear a noise from the passenger side dash. This happens whether the AC or Heater is on but both seem to be functioning properly. Any ideas?

Thanks

Easy to remove the fan/motor - mine was squeaking - it was particles of carbon from the brushes. Took it apart, cleaned out the carbon and oiled the bearings - been good for the past 2-3 years.

 

Do you have the part number?

 

Check to see if you sucked something into the fan squirrel cage that threw it out of balance.

 

How do I do that?

 

The fan has a fabric cover over it (under the dash passenger side - be careful, the attachments are easily torn) - three screws to remove the fan and plug to remove. You have to be on your back with your head under the dash




I didn't remove the passenger side footwell trim panel.when I did it. - Correction you do need to remove this - I thought it was talking about another item.

 

Remove the fan - you may not have to replace it.

 

You guys are the best. Phillips or flat head?

 

Can't remember.
