Heater fan/blower issue.

So recently, everytime I turn my heater on.. There would always be a little flickering noise . Soon realized its coming from my blower. Under /behind the glove box. Then recently it stop working. No matter if it was on low or high. No heat or cold air at all. Then I tap ,gave a little whack at the blower and then it'll work agian. Viola air.

So yesterday I figures I take t apart and clean that thing. Sure enough, it was pretty dusty and dirt. Cleaned it , installed it. All works.
Then agian, it stopped working today. But then I give it a tap /or whack at the heater blower and it would work .

Can it just be the blower going bad ?
If anyone has experience this. Please post.


Anyways ...well find out soon eventually since I' already ordered a new blower.

if it was the resistor the blower would still work only on high. it may be the bearings in the motor its self seizing up, you should turn it on an see if you can here the motor trying to turn. and I don't know if you can get just the motor new because when I took the blower apart in my celica I don't remember there being a way to get just the motor off so u may have to buy the whole assembly, or u can try to bring it to a place that rebuilds like starters and alternators

Well I purchase the whole assembly. Link listed.

I hope it's just a bad motor. Rather just get something new and fix it. Winter is approaching quick, and a car with no heat ... BAD

yea I didn't see the link but that's pretty cheap, when I took my blower out of my car it was full of acorns from sitting for 3 years in the woods im really surprised mine works still.
