95champagnepath Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 (edited) Turning on either the A/C or heater causes for a obnoxious buzzing noise coming from inside the dash. I figured that either something had gotten into the fan or possibly one of the bearings had worn out. Is this a common issue? Do I have the right idea on what could be wrong? Thanks for the help.

Simon Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Yes you have the right idea. The motor is actually really easy to pull out. There's a thread around here about cleaning out the housing as it's common to have a bunch of crap in there. http://npora.ipbhost.com//index.php?showto...zzard&st=20 That post shows removing the blower motor resistor, but you can see in one of the pics the blower motor is right there. Just unbolt it from the housing and drop it down to see if anything's jammed in there, or if a fin broke, or it has a bad bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Pull the blower fan out and remove all the leaves and pine needles from your housing before it catches fire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95champagnepath Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 Pull the blower fan out and remove all the leaves and pine needles from your housing before it catches fire! Thanks for the related posts. Found about half an in. of debris in the blower and a few leaves in the fan. It's back to normal. Thanks a lot.

95champagnepath Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) mines been doing it for years!!!lol So I never thought too much about it, but does anyone's pathy smell kinda like rotten eggs and gas after driving a short trip, say 4 miles? Only happens on certain days. I could never find the direct spot at which the smell was coming from. It seems to do it more in the colder weather, say below 35 degrees F. Also wondering if anyone would know what would cause an occasional "clicking" sound within the engine. Thanks again, just trying to figure out the little quirks.

GrimGreg Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 So I never thought too much about it, but does anyone's pathy smell kinda like rotten eggs and gas after driving a short trip, say 4 miles? Your cat is probably bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95champagnepath Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Your cat is probably bad. Is there anything else that I could look for that may hint that the cat had gone bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87pathy Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 clicking, is probably valve train slop.. try topping up your oil or changing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I changed it last at 100k, now I just broke 105k, so I had put that on the to do list for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
