HELP! Blower Fan Noise

[Konner27]

Hi, this is my first post in this forum. I just got my first car which is a 1999 Grand Prix GT. There are some things wrong but hey it's 14 years old. By far the most annoying thing is the noise when I turn the blower on. It sounds like something is touching the fan while it is spinning. Someone told me that it could be a leaf? Anyways, is there anyway I can get to the intake of the blower and check to see if anything is there? Please respond soon. Thanks

take the lower foot cover off, then unbolt the glove box hinge, remove the glove box, and look at the fan. something may have fell into it. or the bearing could be bad, but they seem to squeal when bad.


quick enough? lol

Is this hard to do? I don't want to mess anything up trying to take the glove box off.

should be a few push in ring shaft fasteners holding the foot cover up, then 2 or 4 bolts in the hinge. easy.

I will look into this later today and see what I can find out. Thanks

Easy to do BUT kinda a tight space to play in

I got a new blower from a salvage yard and it is OEM and it has a rubber tube coming off of it. The blower that is making all the noise isn't OEM and it doesn't have the rubber tube. What do I do with the rubber tube?
