BRZnut · 12-30-2017, 09:27 PM

Not sure if this has ever happened to others, but my AC/Heater fan would make a occasional squeak when it was below freezing outside for years.

Few days ago after a 2 hr trip in freezing weather the squeaking suddenly became very load and continuous. If I turned the climate system off, it was gone. The air still seemed to be blowing normally.

So what I did was take the in-cabin filter out and spray the top of the motor/fan with a ton of WD 40 (with the fan off and then with it on). Put filter back in. All noises are gone. Better than ever.

Well see if and when the squeaking sound comes back.

Anyone else have this issue?
