Air fan noise
Need help and I am getting crazy about the air fan noise. I have to turn on my music very loud in order not to avoid the noise.
Its the noise from the fan .... is there any way to fix it without remove the whole dash ? how can I oil that thing ......
Thanx for any help

The blower motors are notoriously short lived. The squeaking / chirping noise is a result of non serviceable bearing failure. The unit can be accessed from the glove box ( I think) You can see it by removing the filter(s) beneath the aux battery in the motor well (passenger side). I have seen them for about $150 on E- bay. They are aftermarket (Behr) mfg. Mine has been erratic for the last year. It really is a shame to have to throw the part away because of a bearing that costs less than a dollar.
