got a tick coming from my blower motor, pulled out the cabin and felt around to see if I could find any leaves or anything but no luck, any ideas?

 

Does it happen just during idle? If it does its most likely timing chain tensioner.

 

no, its definitely the blower motor. it only happens when the blower is on and the ticks get faster as you turn it up.

 

I have a similar problem. Have yet to find out the source.

 

Sub'd for solutions. I have the same problem with my '06 Cobalt SS/SC too.

 

Its either the bearing or the cage is touching somewhere.Those types of motors tend to move forward
when the bearings start to wear .
So I would say its rubbing at the front of the cage.
You cant lube the inside bearing with out removing the cage from the motor shaft which is a pain but can be done with some patientce.

 

I've had the same problem in mine. I was told on here a while back that it was a warranty fix, but my car is salvage, so not good news for me.

 

when I brought mine to the dealer they said it was my aftermarket pulley lol.

 

You people do not know the difference between a blower motor and a supercharger.

******* hilarious.

 

He isn't talking about a supercharger... FYI

Mine does it also, just turn the music up. lol

 

Exactly yet some people are naming off timing chain tensioner. LOL

 

Indeed it is

 

I just noticed the same thing. Pain in the ***** noises. I was like "WTF???" then I turned the fan off and it went away. Retarded. Thats one noise that Im not interested in chasing down.
Only does it with the heat on though.... not ac.

 

I said dealership said it was the pulley, not I, thats why I had the there

 

My 06 did this too .....haven't had that issue yet with the new one.

You know how it is around here Slows .... it couldn't have surprised you after all the other **** we've seen lol

 

I have no warranty anymore. Too many miles, too old. How much is a blower motor if I wanted to replace this myself? Sounds like a PITA having to cut the casing to replace it.

 

It is a common issue for the HVAC to be noisy. It sounds like someone's jamming a card into a computer fan at lower speeds.

Mainly I get around it just by cranking the music.
