heater a/c blower fan.

[jiggseob]

My heater a/c fan is just about toast I think.

I turn it on, and it seems to work OK, although it does not put out as much air as I think it should. After a while, it seems to slow down a bit, and from time to time it makes a rumbling noise. If I have the radio on a low AM frequency, the fan introduces a lot of noise to the radio. And sometimes the fan just stops after a few minutes. Turn the fan off, and back on a few minutes later, and it works again.

Does this sound like the fan motor? Does anyone have any idea how to replace that fan motor?

Thanks, Mathew Banack

Here is something to consider: When was the last time you changed your cabin air filter? If you've got a clogged filter, it is going to put more stress on the fan and it won't blow as much air.

I don't think this is the problem you're having, but its good maintenance anyway.

When I take it apart and fix it I will post my findings.
