AC Blower Motor - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi everyone.

So I just picked up my car from the dealer today after having my ac blower motor replaced.

The blower motor was making a ticking sound at slow fan speeds. The dealership fixed this problem and installed a new fan.

However, now I am having a problem with the new fan. The ticking noise is gone but now when I have the fan set to 50% the blower sounds a lot louder then the old one and it also makes a scratching sound.

I went ahead and took the blower motor out to see if there was anything in there as well if it is hitting anything. When I took it out I saw nothing wrong. Also for some reason the blower motor only makes these sounds the loudest when I have the recirculate on and when the fan is set to blow out of the face vents.

I just wanted to see if anyone else that had there ac blower motor replaced has this same issue or might have an idea why this is happening.

Thank you.

Had major problems when the dealership replaced my fan twice. After the warranty was up, another independent technician showed me why I continue to have problems. Apparently the dealership cracked the housing that the fan sets in. I posted pics somewhere in this section. Dealership denied replacement saying that it was a workmanship issue. I would have someone pull the glove box and check the housing. Good luck with it!!

Joseph92,

Sincere apologies about the blower motor concerns and I understand any frustration this causes. While I notice that you're seeking thoughts and opinions, feel free to message me privately if you'd like --- for assistance with getting back in touch with the dealer for examination of this continued issue.

Regards,

Mine has been making this noise, but it's gotten louder over the winter.

I don't have another vehicle and I'm 40 miles from the dealer so I need to know how big a deal it is for them to replace it.

Mine did the same ticking. Got it replaced and everything is fine now.

Change the filter, if you haven't yet. Sounds dumb but it worked for me.

Well I had the blower changed for the second about 3 weeks ago and I still have the same sound.

I know that from the factory the blower motor is attached as one piece to the AC housing and has to be cut out in order to be replaced with a new blower.

Could it also be that the blower they replace it with is just a little bit more powerful then the one built into the car?
