Hi guys.

My issue is my fan motor inside my 2000 tl. When i have it set at 70 degrees or so, I can hear a loud whistle noise comming from the fan motor by the passager footwell. If you turn up temp, sounds gone ( fan speeds up). Currently the system works, but is just noisey. Any fixes,ideas, and if I have to replace the unit, is it hard?

thanks,
jason

 

Have you replaced the Cabin Air Filter? Its behind the glovebox and the fan sits to the right of it ands air moves from righ tto left thru the filter and into the vent control
See DIY section for simple 20 minute $17 job- the dealer charges 100+ for.

 

not even 20 mins lol.
oh but make sure you have clippers or something to cut some thin plastic tabs. i couldnt find one, so i just use pliers, clamped down and twist. it was kinda messy lookin, but who can see it
