Blower Motor Ticking

[yzinger]

Hey guys, I am Brad, from Nova Scotia. Awesome forum you got here.

I have been perusing the interweb for days trying to find out how to get to me blower fan to remove a twig, leave, or other object as it sounds like it is the problem.

My car is a 2010 3 GX...I have been in pass side and removed some panels but still cannot see the blower motor nor clean it. Please help me guys!!

Thanks
B

I wish I took pics...it is VERY easy to get to...once you've done it a few times. My car is not with me now, otherwise I'd snap a couple pics for ya....I will soon, I have to replace my cabin air filter thanks to all the crap that gets in there...last time I took leaves out (2 weeks ago) it looked terrible. I'll try to remember to get some pics tomorrow for you!

I also recently sucked up something into my blower fan.

Just found this on M3R...

Open it up but leave the filter in....then turn on your car and turn the fan all the way up and cycle the circulation modes....POOF!!! all the crap will fly out...

THEN shut car off...remove the filter...whack it on the ground to get the big junk out of it (or replace it) and carefully vacuum inside the white boxe...taking GREAT CARE to not bend any fins on your coil...gently feel around in there with your hand first and you'll know what I'm talking about. Whole process takes less than 10 minutes after you do it once.
