Default Help!!! Its cold out!!!

My heater blower used to work but it would "click". Kind of like the same sound you would get if you put a piece of paper in a fan and let the blade hit it over and over. Now it slowed down and if I smack the "little metal thing" at the bottom of the motor it will come on for alittle bit. What do you think is the problem. I have never messed with a EF or a heater motor before so if someone has can you please walk me through it. PICTURES WOULD BE GREAT!!! Thanks.

-Matt

So it's the whole blower? Can you access that from just taking out the glove box? Anyone have detailed instructions on here?

Ok. It looks like you can get to it by just taking the glove box out. Is that true?

you might be able to use the blower take the glove box out and take the metal pan cover for the motor and clean up the wires that conect it... on my accord it was the same issue the wires get buildup on them like battery terminals so you just need to clean them off and reconnect them and it should work
