The blower motor started making an awful racket. At first, I thought it might have been a leaf or something caught in the intake to the fan. In older Jeeps, I have been able to find the air intake under the hood, where the fan motor itself is located. On closer inspection of the 2000 JGC, I see that the motor is inside the car, under the dash.
When I turn up the fan speed, the darned thing vibrates quitd strongly and is very loud. Now I wonder if it is more than something like a leaf trapped in the fan.
I would just like some basic comments or hints here. Is it easy to remove the fan motor from under the dash? Is is likely just a worn motor, fan blades. or just something trapped that may come loose if I take the motor out ??
Thanks for any tips on this !!
