noisy heater fan
Hello forum
the heater fan is fairly noisy on my 80 ...seems the car has been standing outside for a long time. Any suggestion about lubricating the bearings without talking apart the heater assy? I still didn't crawl under the dash, am waiting to remove the seat...but thinking about removing the heater/ac assy doesnt appeal to me.
Any suggestions? Thank you

The fans arent that costly...Correct? Remove the original without tampering with the under-dash assembly.
It may be as simple as a loose squirrel cage retaing bolt along with leaves twigs etc.
As members said clean the blower box of tras before installing a new fan motor
The definately install a new debri screen to keep the inside of the box clean (I had to scrub the inside of my blower box with detergent to remove the mold....the air really freshened up after the cleaning!

Doorgunner...you are right! I thought I had to remove the whole heater/ac set up, but have seen that removing the fan motor is not so difficult. Will do things the right way, changing the motor and cage. Thank you for the help
