AC Fan making a noise.
When my AC is on, the fan sounds like it's scraping or hitting something. It's a loud, high pitched noise that is very annoying. It used to go away after a min or two but now it's constant. Only with AC, not the heater. Anyone know of this? What is it and how to fix it? Thanks!

Sounds like you had a mouse visitor!
They love to nest in the fan!
Look in the passengers foot well. Remove the toe board and the close out panel in the foot well below the dash. The fan is secured with three screws.
Pop it out and clean out the fan and the evaporator housing
While you have the fan out, oil the bushing inside the motor. You can get to it thru the vent pipe hole on the side of the motor.
