Wouldn't you know it, 6 months out of warranty and my wife's 2012 Mazda 3 is having blower issues. It sounds like a baseball card in the spokes.
I've replaced the cabin air filters (I already replaced them once about a year and a half ago) and vacuumed out where they sit, no change. I ran the fan with no filters hoping maybe I installed the filters incorrectly, same thing.
I've been all over the internet looking for a shop manual or a link that shows what's involved, but haven't found anything. I'd rather not have to pay the dealership to do it if it's simply a matter of removing some dash panels and replacing the part...but if it involves removing the dash/steering column, etc, etc, then I'll likely have to take it somewhere.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks,
Rob
