Blower motor problem

[bhw33191]

I might be due for a new blower. Sometimes when i turn on the fan itll sound like theres some kind of animal inside it making a commotion (not really lol). Its basically a loud sort of squeaking noise and once it stops doing that, when its running itll sometimes be making other noises. To me it sounds almost like the fan is slipping on the shaft causing this terrible noise..so maybe its the kind of thing that i could fix without getting a new blower?

Pull the motor and look for pine straw or leaves these will make a lot of noise.
Rotate it by hand and if it is noisy buy a new motor.

I concur, pull the motor and check it.
They are really easy to get to..

Your right that was probably the easiest thing i've done to this car. I think i need a new motor..when i spin it it seems like theres a little too much resistence. I think the bearings or something went bad inside it. I hope its not expensive...
