Noisy ac/heat blower

Hey guys, i just got a 2008 Civic EX. I later noticed that when i turn on the heat i hear a clicking sound from the blower. It is pretty annoying. Does it sound like a simple fix of just buying a new fan motor and switching it out? If so i plan to get the one listed below.

Drop the fan motor out (3 small bolts) and see if something is caught in the squirrel cage. Leaves and debris can drop in when the cabin filter is slid out.

If you don't see anything, then plug it in and turn it on for a second or two. If it still makes noise, then you will probably need the fan assembly. Reassemble and order parts.

Thanks, it was the blower motor itself. I guess a bearing that went bad. I just ordered a new one off of the internet.
