2002 Intrigue Blower Motor

[Morpheus_P]

Greetings to all again!!

Just wondering if anyone has had any issues with their A/C blower possibly going bad? Mine seems to work fine for some time and then gradually make a slight noise and then it decreases air flow into the cabin. I'm just guessing at 107K it may want to eventually get replaced. Any thoughts or sugggestions would be simply appreciated. Cheers

Sounds to me as if the blower motor is starting to go. Mine made a noise for a while, a whining sound mostly at low fan speeds. Then it just quit. I replaced it with one from a junk yard, $30.00. On the old blower, the fan was hard to rotate. So I imagine it had either gotten wet at one time or just bad bearings. Either way replacing is quite easy. If it wasn't for the noise your fan is making, it can sometimes be related to the resisitor pack that the fan hooks up to. I believe this regulates the fan speed. But I would try and replace the fan first and I bet that takes care of it.

I had another thought. Have you checked the cabin air filter? I'm not sure but if it is very dirty it seems that it might affect the blowers ability to move air. It might also cause the fan to make noise since it is trying to spin faster than it is able. Worth a look and easier to replace than the blower motor.
