I have a 2016 Cady SRX. I changed the cabin air filter and some dried leaves were present so I carefully took out the filter and replaced it. I turned the car back on and the motor was vibrating significantly at high speed. I then pulled the motor out (10 minute job) and there it was, a single dried and curled up leaf about 1"X0.25" sitting in the fan assembly that must have dropped in when I pulled the filter, the fan was fine before this. I put the motor back in and Presto! Vibration gone. I could not believe it, one leaf unbalances the whole thing. Thank you to 1A Auto once again, you guys have saved me more money than you can imagine with your videos.
Thank you. You just confirmed what was wrong with a 2010 Honda Pilot we were test driving. I had the blower on full blast as we were driving and we heard that sound. The salesman tried to tell us it was nothing, it was normal. There were many others things about it that were wrong with it. Glad we didn't buy it. haha
My car started making this exact same noise a week ago so I’m gonna go replace the blower motor and resistor while I’m at it, thank you so much, it’s literally such a simple install and shops want to charge you $650 🤦🏽♂️
I'm pretty sure it's my blower motor thats bad at first when id turn heat/air on it make this exact noise then one night I heard a loud clank/thump under my dash so that's all I can think of after that loud thump it was completely done. Sounded like something flew apart
I'm going to check mine soon. It also makes similar noise when it's turned on, but it's similar to metal clunking or something like that, it's hard to explain. And yes, I can only hear it when I turn on my fan, so it must be something connected with that. It stops when the car heats up a bit, so I'm not sure if that's the same problem.
Camry LE 05 is act weird. When I turn it on,I don't feel air blowing though the vent but while driving when I drove on sewer pothole,or terrible traffic, that's when it work. Even when i kept driving to make it work again for drive on terrible traffic,it didn't work. I started to figure out how to make it work,I clicked the button to let the air blow the vent from outside and the air is back working again. So I don't know which one is the problem. Motor or Resistor. Plus it did not make noise.
This noise is just because the bearing is worn out making the axle to balance on the space the bearing has left between the axle and the worn center of the bearing and you just need to exchange the bearing and you have blower for 10 more years and for couple dollar
My car makes this noise when nothing is on. The noise goes away when I put the fans on the face. Once turned off, the noise comes back again. Could it still be that?
My Nissan Rogue made a terrible noise when we turned on the heat today and I’m pretty sure this is the problem.... we turned it on two more times and then the air flow just stopped (along with the noise). Does that happen when the blower motor totally fails?
u can just take ur motor to one of these guys who rewind motors. they usually change the bearing for u. save some money on buying a whole new blower motor assembly
I have a nissian Sentra 2014 too & I just got a new blower motor today . It’s making the vibration sound it wasn’t making that noise before my a/c stop working

I want to know why my cooling fan is abnormally loud when I turn on my ac like it’s not clacking or screaching it makes the normal sound but 5 to tens times louder like when I’m driving it sounds like someone is mowing there lawn but it’s just following me
My Colorado has a bonus feature, they can be prone to overheating and burn up the wires being a fire hazard I carry an extra part for it with my truck. Mine is under the glove box took it out when I got the truck and cleaned it. 1-2 setting is kinda touch and go feels like it does little to nothing or is a bit loud but 3-4 works great. Need to put on a new AC compressor though it's making noise.
I've got a 2010 Nissan Sentra with the blower motor from hell given where they put it, you practically have to either completely pull the dash or remove all kinds of stuff like the gas and brake pedals just to reach it. In contrast I have a 2009 Toyota Corolla and its blower couldn't possible be easier to get at if they just mounted it in the coffee cup holder, its right there in plain view under the glove box with absolutely nothing in its way and only three screws and a plug to remove. I've got to fix both motors, I am NOT looking forward to tackling the Nissan.
I just replaced the blower motor resistor in my 2008 Toyota 4Runner and now the blower motor is making this noise. It wasn't making this noise prior to the resistor issue so is it possible that the after market resistor I bought is causing the issue?
What if the noise is only being made when the blower motor is in the assembly? I took the fan out and turned it on and the noise was not there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
+Tyler Machia We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Do you need to disconnect the negative battery terminal before you disconnect or remove the blower motor on all cars, or just certain cars, or is it not really necessary? Could the air bags deploy from not doing that? And last, if you do disconnect the battery on a 'newish' car (here 2016), does that cause any problems with other parts of the car once your've reconnected the battery (like needing to reset stuff before it will work)?
+bbfbsgmbpt12121 Thanks for watching! You do not need to disconnect the battery to perform this repair, so it should not be a concern. If you do disconnect the battery it will not cause any problems, maybe just a couple of things will reset themselves.
I have a 2010 silverado that when I put the fan on high it has a constant hum to it. I am thinking its the blower but am unsure, is there anything else I should check?
geez, $300 blower motor? i'd fact check that. because that's not accurate. what year/make/model is your car lmao i guarantee you're looking at the wrong part. i just bought a blower motor today AND another part and the total came out to be under $40
How to check the other box that goes to the blower motor to see if it is bad it will only work on high or low the the resistor or is it the switch that controls the speeding the blower motor the blower motor is fine but it goes to 5 and only works on 2 on a gmc 2006 4.3 5 speed just curious u will probley fund it before I get a response and good work getting to the point an dnkt making a video last for 29 mins there just like selling vehicles 4,999 yeah they see the 4 but dont pay no attention to the rest of it hahahahahaha
Mine is making noises but sounds like more coming motor fan and does it when you turn the screen or heat on and will also do it when sitting in traffic with ac and heat off
So I just had my blower motor replaced in my fiancés Jeep Compass yesterday. She said when she turned the heat on the heating system was still making noise what would causes that since there is brand new blower motor installed ???
+Alexander Martinez We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
So my 2015 dodge charger has this noise…but its not constant. ex…air/heat will blow fine for an hour or even up to a day. then the noise starts…gets weak then weaker then eventually stops along with any ac/heat blowing out. with the control set on highest speed it still only blows at a low speed if that. any suggestions???? ive been told its the blower then resistor and just not sure what to do. its getting colder in the mornings and need to fix fast. 😢🥺
This is the same sound I’m having out of no where, reeks like dead fish!! Does that mean there could be a rodent in there? We’ve had mice in this vehicle before
Mines just started making this noise when i turn on the ac it continues when i turn it off and also continues when i turn the car engine off im so confused why does it keep going whe the cars off
Mine sounded just like this today!!! I pulled out the glove box and cabin air filter and felt around turned out it was a dirty crusty piece of brown paper towels like the ones from school! I removed it and the sound was gone
I think my blower motor literally went out. It used to sound like that but yesterday when I started it it was just a loud screeching/clunking sound 😅😅 I guess I can't procrastinate putting in a new one now

My car is five years old. Took it to service and was told the cabin filter was dirty with leaves etc i said okay then kets change it. How much? $110. I said no. When i got in ym car they had the AC blasting and was making this noise ... Im damn sure they let debris get into the motor when they put back the dirty filter. Sigh

I have a blower motor that works RANDOMLY... will just spring to life... then other times, nothing. when it does run, all speeds work as they should..... so where is the problem?
HELP. I changed my girlfriends ac filter and now her car makes a reving sound when we turn the ac up, whats the problem and the fix? (i think some leaves might have fell out the back when i pulled the filter out)

Have you ever heard of one that makes a moaning/squealing noise?

When the video started I recognized that sound instantly.

Friendliest mechanics … come to think about it, a lot of mechanics are friendly people…
I'm pretty sure it's my blower motor thats bad at first when id turn heat/air on it make this exact noise then one night I heard a loud clank/thump under my dash so that's all I can think of after that loud thump it was completely done. Sounded like something flew apart
Thank you my brother. That is exactly the sound I hear in my wife 2017 Nissan Rogue Sport SV. Hopefully the fan motor is easy to get to.
Thank you so much, this noise in my little VW up! Drove me mental … now I’m relieved to at least know what the problem is.
I'm going to check mine soon. It also makes similar noise when it's turned on, but it's similar to metal clunking or something like that, it's hard to explain.

Wow just crazy where they place blower motors in cars today thanks for the video!
John Ortiz Thanks for watching!
Mine I replaced cause it was shot done for. Holy hell it was hard but trying to get under the dash by my glove box to unbolt it literally no room
They have been in those places for a while
I just changed my cabin filters and starting hearing a humming, hoping it might need to be cleaned. BMW 528i
Or sometimes on a older truck (1995 k1500) it has a rubber cover that just crumbles away if you try to take it off
My car makes this noise when nothing is on. The noise goes away when I put the fans on the face. Once turned off, the noise comes back again. Could it still be that?
Best ever video on this issue!!!thanks alot solved my issue no one was getting
I was driving home from work and heard this noise and it’s scared me🤣 glad I I figured it out
My Nissan Rogue made a terrible noise when we turned on the heat today and I’m pretty sure this is the problem.... we turned it on two more times and then the air flow just stopped (along with the noise). Does that happen when the blower motor totally fails?
How was your situation solved?
NOW THAT'S HOW A PERFECT VIDEO SHOULD B 👍👍
Bless you! Been fighting mice in my car for weeks. Thought it was cabin filter, couldn’t figure out what was making that noise. Yay!!
How did you find out it was mice?
This is what my truck ac sounds like!I can change that out really quick!Thanks for the info!
u can just take ur motor to one of these guys who rewind motors. they usually change the bearing for u.

Great information and it didn't blow to watch. 😂🤣😂👍
That joke has a certain air about it. I'm a fan.
Mine sounds more like that when I'm sitting in park. I hear it a little bit when I'm driving but not as loud
I want to know why my cooling fan is abnormally loud when I turn on my ac like it’s not clacking or screaching it makes the normal sound but 5 to tens times louder like when I’m driving it sounds like someone is mowing there lawn but it’s just following me
Can blower motor be working (no noise) but be weak? I’m getting less air out of vents also I replaced the cabin filter.
Thanks Man! A girl needs to know these things.
I'm not through the whole vid yet but it be cool if you told us how much approximately it should cost to fix it on average. Thanks🙂
Thank you for all the information!
We installed a new blower motor, but the new blower motor is causing the dash to viberate?? There is nothing stuck in the vents
My Colorado has a bonus feature, they can be prone to overheating and burn up the wires being a fire hazard I carry an extra part for it with my truck. Mine is under the glove box took it out when I got the truck and cleaned it. 1-2 setting is kinda touch and go feels like it does little to nothing or is a bit loud but 3-4 works great.

+Iilisette Thanks for checking us out and the feedback! 1AAuto.com
Will a bad fan motor cause wires get hot and shut fan off?
I have a similar fan blower like that, I want to dismantle it but don't know how. There are no screws. do you know how? thx.
Thanks for the help.
If the blower motor is failed or not working does it cause noise and vibration in the dashboard??
I've got a 2010 Nissan Sentra with the blower motor from hell given where they put it, you practically have to either completely pull the dash or remove all kinds of stuff like the gas and brake pedals just to reach it.

Can I still use my heater even if it’s in this condition?
Thank you mine just started making this noise your video was very informative
Mine making like a clicking sound, wondering if that is the issue. Its so cheap I’m just going to replace it
Great video!!! Saved money doing myself!
An auto shop told me that noise was the Hvac Actuator door but the replaced it and it’s still making the noise
I just replaced the blower motor resistor in my 2008 Toyota 4Runner and now the blower motor is making this noise. It wasn't making this noise prior to the resistor issue so is it possible that the after market resistor I bought is causing the issue?

Very helpful video , my toyota ae101 has the same systom with noise !
When I increase speed of fan than only noise comes but not on low speed . Is it motor or something else

Do you have video that would be good for an 07 Dodge Nitro? Is it like the Jeep Liberty by chance?
I have a 2010 silverado that when I put the fan on high it has a constant hum to it. I am thinking its the blower but am unsure, is there anything else I should check?
If you have a new car, how do you know where would it be?
Only while driving not at idle ?
My smart car started doing this a months go, I wanna fix it myself cause the part alone is over 300 $, any idea where that one might be located 😅
geez, $300 blower motor? i'd fact check that. because that's not accurate. what year/make/model is your car lmao i guarantee you're looking at the wrong part.
i just bought a blower motor today AND another part and the total came out to be under $40
Hi did you get the blow heater fixed and how much was the fan motor
How to check the other box that goes to the blower motor to see if it is bad it will only work on high or low the the resistor or is it the switch that controls the speeding the blower motor the blower motor is fine but it goes to 5 and only works on 2 on a gmc 2006 4.3 5 speed just curious u will probley fund it before I get a response and good work getting to the point an dnkt making a video last for 29 mins there just like selling vehicles 4,999 yeah they see the 4 but dont pay no attention to the rest of it hahahahahaha
What if I replaced mine and it’s a humming sound higher than the old one when it was newer ?
This was very helpful thank you
Thank you. Very useful video
Mine makes the noise when I turn on the A/C, it can't be heard from the blower motor. I got a 2012 Honda CRV. What would the problem be exactly.
Mine is making noises but sounds like more coming motor fan and does it when you turn the screen or heat on and will also do it when sitting in traffic with ac and heat off

How long would you expect a new blower motor to last before needing to be replaced due to wear and tear?
+Joseph Lucido Thanks for watching! It really all depends, but a new blower motor should last you at least a few years of good use.
This is the same sound I’m having out of no where, reeks like dead fish!! Does that mean there could be a rodent in there? We’ve had mice in this vehicle before
I've installed two new blower motoors still making knocking noise.
Mines just started making this noise when i turn on the ac it continues when i turn it off and also continues when i turn the car engine off im so confused why does it keep going whe the cars off
Mine sounded just like this today!!! I pulled out the glove box and cabin air filter and felt around turned out it was a dirty crusty piece of brown paper towels like the ones from school! I removed it and the sound was gone
What noise makes a air release sound?
What is it when that noise is low n goes away by turning on ac?
Thanks for the great info .
Very good video. Thanks❤
Great video very detailed keep make them👍👍👍
I think my blower motor literally went out. It used to sound like that but yesterday when I started it it was just a loud screeching/clunking sound 😅😅 I guess I can't procrastinate putting in a new one now

My blower makes that noise when I turn the car off. And the keys are out it keeps running.
Can this drain my battery?
In my honda city the blower makes sound at lowe speed but at high speeds it vanishes
