Climate Control Squeeking-please help
Hi
When I start the climate control, the fan squeeks/chirps for a few seconds until the fan speed picks up. Does anyone know what is happening?
If I put the fan speed to high, it goes away completely. It also happens constantly at low fan speed. Please help.

Your "Squirrel Cage" or blower fan has a bad bearing. This is a plastic fan blower that looks like the thing that hamsters run in. They wear out over time. You can replace them but it's a pain in the butt job. Easiest way is to remove the windshield wiper unit and get to it from under the hood.
