My hvac fan is making a noise. It's not necessarily a screeching noise, or a clicking, but I think it could be fixed by spraying with a silicone based lubricant. The noise starts at fan speed one and is noticable in fan speed 2. By fan speed three, you can't hear the noise. Any ideas?

 

Blower motor, take it to the dealer and they'll replace it

 

How much money are we talking there? The car isn't necessarily under warranty. lol

 

Why isn't it warrantied?

If you voided your powertrain warranty they will still uphold that part of the warranty because it falls under body and components

 

hey mine makes noise too let me know what you find, i've been meaning to go to the dealer but i don't have the time

 

I can guarantee you guys if its noise when you turn on your blower (fans) its will be your blower motor. If its not then theres something in the tubing behind the dash

 

oh i know its the blower motor i just havnet had the time to actually look at it when ever i hear it now i just turn the radio up

 

i have the same prob. and im goning to the dealer tomorrow after school to get a oil change and im going to tell them about the noise

 

Oh yea Tuba, Dont spray lubricant into the blower motor. It'll take some work just to get to it but dont do it

 

There might be something stuck in the basket of the fan , I have had that happen to me.

 

I've just had mine replaced here at the dealership I work at. They charged .7 hours for labor and the motor's warranty price was 128.30. There is no stock at GM at the moment. Good luck.

Mine had the same problem and they just replaced the fan, no big deal

 

Awesome, another item on my list that I was wondering if only my car was doing this. I'm going to right on the list. They are going to go crazy working on my car under warranty and they can't do squat hahaha. I've noticed this problem too a few weeks after I go my car didn't think much of it but awesome to get all this info !

 

Yeah, thanks guys. I got it at an used lot, it was salvaged from a wreck. Pretty much the only thing wrong was the bumper and hood. They replaced both. They said that if it had any problems to just wheel it back in and they'd take care of it for me. The Cobalt is an awesome car by the way!

 

Mine makes this clicking sound too, but it always did it. I thought it was just apart of the car "noises"

 

same problem here.. its goin in soon!!

 

so yeah, it's covered under warranty. My car is salvaged though, so I guess I'm screwed? GM won't honor any warranty with my car. Any ideas?

 

I guess in the end everthing evens out... pay less for a salvaged car, but theres probably going to be more to fix with it...
