Blower motor and A/C belt problems!

So first off this is the first Honda ive ever owner and I absolutely love my car. But I’m having some issues with multiple things. It’s on an 2003 Civic LX
1.) Should I be able to hear my blower motor? I pulled it out thinking maybe some debris had gotten into it and it was actually clean. But no matter what speed you put it on, you can hear it. I don’t know if I need a new one or what’s going on with it.

2.) After buying the vehicle about a week later the A/C clutch went out and had to replace the whole system (I did bypass it until I could afford the whole system to be replaced) I took it to my trusted mechanic who did the whole thing for me because I don’t have a lot of knowledge of A/C systems. Anyways he replaced it and it came with a lifetime warranty but after I left I turned it on and it squeals and squeaks but only when the A/C is on. Now it’s randomly doing it even if the A/C is off. I’m frustrated with it and I need help. Is it a pulley? A belt? Belt tension? It’s driving me crazy because I feel like I can’t use my A/C this summer without the entire city hearing my loud and obnoxious car. Please someone help me!

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: Blower motor and A/C belt problems!

Should I be able to hear my blower motor?
Yes.


A few tests should be completed in order to determine the true fault.
Probably needs the blower power transistor replaced and the pair of cabin filters replaced.

but after I left I turned it on and it squeals and squeaks but only when the A/C is on.
The belt is probably not adjusted correctly--return to the shop immediately so they can correct their problem (if belt needs adjusted that should be no charge to you IMO, when they fixed the AC the belt was installed too loose)


FYI the AC compressor should not turn on if the blower motor does not operate
