i've got a 98 DX hatch, and winter is coming and my fans don't work on 1 or 2.

3 and 4 are getting weaker i think, and the fan makes funny noises sometimes, but they stop if it's bumped.

What's my issue?

 

Test the blower resistor.

Also remove the blower motor (three screws) and clean out the leaves and junk stuck in there.

 

Thanks i will try that, i'll let you know if it still doesn't work,

 

Also, i know how to change the resistor but not how to test it.

 

 

Thanks i'll get on that asap!

 

i checked it out didnt test the resistor decided i'd just pull it out and see and i think it's done


and this is what the blower looked like when i pulled it out, pretty clean.

 

If you wire power directly to the blower motor, does it make the funny noise or is the noise coming from somewhere else?

 

Got a new resistor and evrything works perfect!!!

 

Didn't get to do that put everything back together at the place i got the resistor from haaha

but it's not making the noise anymore but i did hear something when i had it out and would just use my hand to spin it. the sound resembles something like rubber ring around plastic if you know what i mean... not sure how to describe it

 

Also today as i was driving it began making that noise again. so i'm thinking it might be with the actual blower itself

 

I had a horrible groaning noise coming from my blower that would go away for a few minutes if I hit certain bumps and it was quiet if I unbolted it and turned it on. There's really nothing else there if the motor is clean and not hitting anything, a new one will fix your noise

 

yeah that's exactly what i have going on. so since i replaced the resistor, i'm probably going to replace the motor next so that it works good
