Noisy Fan Blower

My fan is NOISY!!! Its noisy in AC mode, defrost mode, heat mode, vent mode.... It really sounds like a leaf got sucked in. I don't wanna mess with the dealer since I don't think its a warranty thing.

So, is it as simple as dropping the glove box and three screws for the blower as I have read?

2012 Eco

Thanks!!!

You're not in Kansas anymore. Then again, I could be wrong but I doubt it. I'll wager that the whole unit sits right behind the center stack. On the pre-97 trucks, there was no passenger airbag to mess with.

I dropped it off and they said it would take about an hour and would run $55.

I looked behind the glove box and the blower and everything is right there, but I just don't have the time to mess with it.

I'm glad I was wrong. Thanks for posting back.

It was a piece of cellophane wrapper, and they did say it got sucked in from inside the truck. Sounds alot better now.
