For the last 2 years or so when ever i put my fan on high, my fan makes a terrible racket and makes my entire dashboard vibrate. I figured the blower motor was bad and would need replacing. Every Friday i get the entire day to work on my car at my shop in college. Any ways, i had some free time after i did my breaks, so i decided to pull off the glove box and look at the blower motor. I pulled off the glove box and i found a random weird looking key wedged behind the box and the mount. So i kinda checked for other stuff and i found a bolt at the bottom of the box between the mount that apparently goes with the OEM baby seat retrainer. Any ways, i kept digging and took the blower motor off, and start seeing somethin strange when i was pulling the blower motor down. So after i got it fully out, i look inside and i find a ladyfinger cookie, some big dust bunnies, peices of news paper from 95 *found a corner peice from the Toronto Star January 5, 1995*..lol, a peice of gum and some leaves. I kinda scratched my head about how all of that could end up in the blower motor, but was more dumfounded by the fact that there was an entire cookie down there..lol. So i reconnected every thing, put it all back together, connected the battery and tried it out. Complete difference. No more vibration, fan blows 100X better, even at lower motor speed it blows alot better. Any ways, if any one else has the same problem, vibration, noise, etc, pull the motor out and check out whats in the fan its self.
