For almost a year now, my fan motor has been getting noisy. (Now that I'm thinking about it.. it's been since the mouse issue in the car.) Has anyone had this problem? It's not the screaming that you would hear with a motor that has bearings going, it's more like a whirring noise. The more speed you give the blower, the louder it gets, and on full it sounds more like the rumble of a jet taking off!

I'm hoping it will last until spring when it's a tad warmer and I've had more time to heal from rotator cuff repair, to take a look at it. Do you think it's the motor itself or a mouse house in the duct work somewhere? Any ideas?
Cures? Quick fixes?

Thanks,
Jackie

Sounds more like the fan blades are hitting something. You won't know for sure until you take a peak. I had the same thing on my van. Dropped the blower motor and found a piece of paper bouncing on the blades.
