Anybody ever experienced the weird vibration noises inside the cab when running your air conditioner? if so, anyone know what it could be?

 

only the a/c, or on any fan speed in general?

could just be a leaf or something in the blower motor thats off-balancing it..

 

Seems like any fan speed in general, but mainly on A/C or MAX A/C.

It's like a contious vibration... is it an easy fix?

 

*bump*

Anybody???

 

i dunno but im guessing its hot as **** in so cal right now too? Been over 100 every day up here in chico for a while

 

Nick? Zach? Earl? Bob?

 

i remember mine doing that. don't remember what i did to fix it though. it gets real annoying too. my girlfriend used to always tease me about my truck falling apart.

sorry for lack of help.

 

Shut the truck off with the Heater control to OFF, cold.

Remove the coolant and WS reservoirs' bolts (pretty sure the air filter box may have to come out first), remove the cruise servo from the fender (one bolt), then remove the blower (takes a little force against the squirrel cage). I think the top of the fan has to clear first, but you do have to "force it" gently.

You can run the blower while removed, for a balance check.

Pull as much debris from the corners of the plenum as you can with your fingers, then flush it out with the garden hose. There'll be a ton of crap in there. Verify your drain is open.

I changed a blower motor on an 01 Taurus recently and it didn't come with a squirrel cage (the fan part). It had gaulled bearings and made awful noises when it ran (intermittent). You have to note how far onto the fan shaft you put the cage on, so watch that if you have to buy a new motor.

 

Not exactly sure where all that is located, I'm still learning...

I'll do the best I can, thanks Earl.

 

I had that happen about two years ago but i dont remember what i got fixed on it. sorry
