Hi, My son's '95 Subaru Legacy (130K mi.) sedan has an intermittent cricket-like noise when the blower motor is running for heat or AC.
I'm assuming the blower needs to be replaced. Is this a huge job or something accessible enough for an arthritic 55 year old dad with reasonable mechanic skills to do.
Thanks, Jon
If it's anything like the '99, it's an easy enough job. It's been a while for me to recall all the details, but you remove the glove compartment door and some other stuff over there. I got it out and in with no help, IIRC. Maybe I saw the instrux on a website, I don't remember.
My fan sucked up a candy wrapper and sounded like a kid's bike with a baseball card on the spokes.

Thanks John. I need to break down and get the service manual.
Geez, remember how much trouble we went through to get that sound just right on our bikes? :-)

There MAY be some help for you at

Thanks, will do.

Maybe turn the system on low to get the vents open, masking tape all the outlets but one, and hit the last vent with a leaf blower?
