Heater fan problem

Post by JTalley »

Since I got the van, the fan for the heater would always make a funny scraping sound when I turned it on. It would go away as soon as it got up to speed, so I never worried about it. Then, it suddenly got louder for just a moment, and the noise went away almost completely. Also, there doesn't seem to be as much force from the vents. I assume that the fan broke. How do I get to it?

Thanks!

Seems like it shouldn't be too hard. I just hope I can afford the new parts.

A new motor is not much more than that.

I found a few at the parts store, but I haven't bought anything just yet. I'll try and keep you all updated.
