ever now and then when i turn my fan on for the heat it makes this wierd screeching sound and after awhile it stops has anyone else had this problem? is the motor going or should i just grease it? thanx

 

The main bearing in your fan motor is toast. Eventually, it will stop working. This happened in my Teg, and it went out like a month later.

Kind of a pain in the ass to do, but the fan is not that expensive. I paid $75 for a new one.

Good luck.

 

awesome great news. so greasing it wont help?

 

Def sounds like the fan bearing

 

No, it really doesn't, and besides, to grease it, you would have to pull it anyway. But no, greasing will not help... It will just make it worse over a short time. Once a motor is burned, it is burned.

 

man... same here i just heard it started two day ago and i thought there was somthing wrong with the pump which is why it making that sound.. it coming from under the gloves box correct? because that where mine is.

 

i have a weird sound coming too, more like a whining sound, only comes on when i turn the heat on as well, the sound comes randomly

 

if you found any information update me on how to fix it.

 

Mine was doing the same thing a while back. My thermostat was stuck open which was causing the noise. If your heater is still putting out heat then this is not your problem, but if the heat is weak and you hear a shuddering noise under your glove box then the thermostat is prob. stuck open.

 

i hear the shudder noise under my glove box, and if i slam the glove box shut it'll go away, but it puts out heat faster than my parents cars.....so i dont think its my thermostat.

 

replacement fan for the win....

 

aww me too?

 

Thats one more thing I love about our cars is the heater is a beast. My Fiance's Civic takes a good 30 minutes to get warm enough to do anything. And even when its at its warmest it is nothing compaired to the heat my car puts out.

 

Shit, you should see it after a new radiator, and thermostat, WOW

 

is it easy? if so may you guide me or help me find a write up? because i been searching and have not found anything. i didnt wanna touch anything till i have read about it first. trying to save up for a manual book the kind the dealer use($75+).

thx

 

Replacing the fan is easy as balls, 3 bolts on one 4 on the other, 1 or 2 wiring harnesses

 

jeez i didnt kno so many people had this poblem i've pulled it before pretty easy just in a bad spot its four bolts and one wire harness. . last time i pulled the fan there were leaves and shit inside.

...... an accord fan would work rite

 

sound easy =) ill work on it when my fan is dead =D or befor winter start again. thx
