Need help with blower motor
I'm not much of a mechanic, and just found this great site. I have only done simple things like oil changes/filters/brakes/etc.
My 64K miles 2001 Sport Trac fan for the AC is making a loud humming noise today (louder at higher speeds). All speeds still work, but the noise is getting louder.
I'm guessing it's the blower motor, but am not sure if it could be something else.
If it is the blower motor, can anybody tell me where it is (how to get to it to replace it)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had a similar problem on my 94. Turned out that the housing that covers the blower motor in the engine compartment was loose. I simply tightened down the few loose bolts.....no more noise. I'm also thinking that this housing is attached to or actually part of the blower motor. Why else would the cage rub? It wasn't that loose either. Just enough to get it off kilter so it would rub I guess.
