SOURCE: a/c blower motor for 2003 corvette

Yea leafs and other debris can get in and cause the noise. Remove the blower, thoroughly clean the fins and reinstall. This should take care of the noise.

SOURCE: heater blower makes noise on high speed

it is either a bad switch or window motor. finding a wiring diagram and shooting power to the correct wire will identify whether the switch or motor is faulty.

Car smells like its burning

the bearing in the blower motor is going out causing the noise and the smell is coming from the blower motor. the parts house will give you the right blower motor for your vehicle make and model and engine size.

Churping fan noise inside car behind the middle heater/air vent and a smell of burning oil or anti-freeze coats me and my clothes while inside car Help Help.

Not familiar with Saab at all, but on every other car made, if you smell coolant inside the car and a fog covers the windows, the heater core needs to be replaced. Depending on the design of the heater box that contains your blower motor and heater core, leaking coolant may be destroying your blower motor, and causing the noises and metal smell.

I have a 2003 Lincoln Town Car. Iturned on the a/c and there is a loud noise coming from the passenger side where the heater and ac are located. There is also a strong smell. Any suggestions?

That is where the blower motor is located. It could be that there is some debris (leaves, road dirt etc..) in the blower motor. I'm not sure what kind of smell you are referring to but if that car has sat for an extended period of time I have seen small rodents get into the duct work and build nests in areas such as the blower motor. I would recommend not running the fan (so as not to damage it) and getting it to shop where they can get into the blower motor assembly and see whats stuck in there.

When I turn on the fan past the 3 speed it sounds like a low,loud, growling sound like it has airplane engines turning on. I also smelled a fowl odor in side my car, my husband thinks a field mouse is in...

It's very possible that a mouse has gotten into the duct work and ended up trapped inside the blower motor fan. The now dead mouse would cause the blower fan to be out of balance & wobble considerably and make noise plus it would smell quite a bit. I see a handfull of dead mice in blower motor fans each year so it's not all that uncommon. The fix is to remove the blower motor and clean out all the debris. Most of the time the blower and fan are fine and can be reinstalled once they are cleaned up. Hope this helps you find your problem!

The heater fan either makes noise, or today it only worked on high and had a smell to it, do i need to replace it?

This is definitely (based on works on Hi only) the Blower Motor Resistor located near the Blower Motor. It is defined with 3-4 wires going into it. It is easy to remove and replace. Purchase the part at the auto parts store versus at the dealer to save you a lot of money.
Install this first before deciding to replace the Motor.
After reinstalling, if the motor is making noise, turn it off IMMEDIATELY so you don't burn the resistor up again. The smell should be either the Resistor burning-up or the Motor burning out. The smell should have an odor like electrical burning?
Let me know if this helped, or if you have additional informatin or questions. Feel free to contact me on FixYa.com!
