Hi guys,
I need some advice from you guys... This morning I had heard some a squeaky sound from the passenger seat side when I turned on the heater
and it still makes very annoying noise something like something idling?
The good news is warm wind is still coming out... but wind strength is weaker than before..
I think the blower heater has something to do with it.
What do you think about it guys? I recorded this noise from the heater.

and sorry for my bad English

I can't tell anything from the video, but my laptop isn't great for sound either.

Check cabin filter for dirt/debris, blockage, or maybe a rodent chewed through it. If you find holes in the filter, trash is probably stuck in the fan blade. Clean it out, replace filter, and retest.
If fan motor itself is making noise, you can replace it (light chirp or squeak noise is a common complaint).

Thank you for your advice. I already cleaned cabin filter. There was pretty much dust and broken leaves but nothing changed and I tried to listen to where this sound is coming out from then I found out that it's coming out from the blower motor
I am gonna check it out after work today. Thank you so much for your advice again!

The blower on my 2013 makes noise at times.... mostly winter.
I just ignore it.

I am going to spray a little bit wd-40 on the blower motor after cleaning... maybe it helps to reduce noise...

Sometimes when there's stuff piled up on top of the filter and you try to slide it out of the slot, loose debris can fall into the fan blades and end up making noise

I cleaned the cabin filter to take it out of my car so I don't think there is a possibility to fall into the fan but for sure there could be some debris on the fan some how!! I will check it today then I will update whether I solve it or not.
Thank you so much for your advice!!

Hi guys,
I am trying to separate my blower motor to clean it so I checked several youtube videos about how to do it.
It seems pretty easy in videos!! but my blower heater doesn't look like theirs!! It looks more complicated
I did loosen three screws from the motor which color is silver just like what I saw in videos but it doesn't come out ...
Do you guys have any idea how to do it? I only see videos with older models than mine in youtube(2012 honda civic lx)
