When my daughter turns on the A/C in her 97 Honda Civic EX 5 spd, something in the right side footwell starts making a thumping noise. The thumping noise gets faster as you speed up the A/C fan. Is her blower motor dying ?
Uh, this bad boy is not cheap:
We just put a new clutch cnd rebuilt the gearbox bearings in this car. I'm afraid I'm not real anxious to drop another $500+ on it.
Thanks, Lynn
sounds like it may be. there could be something caught in it to. check behind the glove compartment door i think and see if something may be in the fan.
Super easy, 3 screws and it drops to the floor.
You can get a blower motor from a wrecker for way cheaper than that. Call around, see what you can find.

PS, I usually drop if at least once a year. This car doesn't have a cabin air filter, so I often get leaves and other s*it in the blower. Starts clicking at certain speeds. Really annoying.
