- How to Remove and Clean a Blower fan that's making noise. In this video the subject vehicle is a 2004 Toyota Tacoma. The blower fan assembly is generally located in the same area for most cars/trucks and is removed just as easily. Stay tuned for a grim discovery and the cause of the excessive noise. If this video helped you, please help me and Like & Subscribe. It makes a world of difference. Thanks for watching and have a great day.

![Why Is Your Car Making a Rattling Noise When AC Is On? [Top 4 Reasons]](/img/n.gif)
My prerunner developed the same problem last week while camping in Oregon. Got back to Arizona last night and just removed the fan. Lo and behold, a creature started making a nest in the fan. Thankfully no dead rodents but that explains the gnawing on paper towel roll we found before breaking camp. Thanks for the video.
Oh wow…it’s crazy how they find this space in vehicles. It’s almost like there’s an underground rodent information system that lets all rodents know to make a nest in the fan assembly. Glad you caught it in time before there was any dead ones! Thanks for the comment 🐭
You were 100% RIGHT about the source of the noise! THANK YOU!
You're welcome!! Glad this helped and thanks for commenting! 👍👍👍
Very helpful! Mine started with an on and off vibration that would stop after banging it. Finally broke down and removed the unit and cleaned it as suggested. Wow--cannot believe the stuff that had accumulated. Thank you!
It’s crazy, right?! And we breath all that…. 🤢🤮
This has been bugging me forever but didnt bother me enough to do anything about it haha. I had some sort of feather mess in mine. Quick fix ! Thank you
Glad I could help! Feathers better than little dead mice! Thanks for commenting 👍👍😂
Wow. I just inherited a barn find sr5 and this video will be a big help. The other issue I have is moving the damper from 'recirc' to "fresh air"
Good luck! SR5s are great vehicles. Nice find!
Thank you for this video. It was straight to the point and it absolutely solved my problem.. 🎉🎉
Love to hear it! Thank you for commenting and good work on fixing your problem. Have a great day!
Perfect video- thanks!
You're welcome!
Great job..Mine had a nest full of mice, I cut the fan on one morning and it killed them, few days later I couldn't drive because of the stench ...It was unbearable..
Yikes! I don’t know how mice always find themselves in these places, but it’s almost like they tell each other. Then they die and can’t warn the others that it’s not a good idea 😂. Glad this helped!
Mine was blowing out pieces of foam now it is making so much noise I can't use it. Mine is a 2000 Prerunner farm truck also. Thank you for this video, I'll check it out today.
No problem! Hope you get it fixed 👍
I ❤️ you man ! Mine sound same !! In X5 2003
Noooo! Not in the X5! Mice going for that luxury these days…..
I've been putting it off for months until tomorrow..LOL.Ill keep you informed on my findings. 😁
Please do! Best of luck to you!
Thanks. I think I have the same problem. Getting ready to pull the fan now.
You bet! Best of luck. Hopefully no dead mice….
Man thanks for this short vehicle. It helped me evict a mouse from his home 😂😂
Ha! No prob 👍
Thanks for this video, had a similar noise and thanks to your video was simple enough to at least check. Turns out I had a couple half eaten acorns in there... go figure...
Ha! Right… crazy how the critters find their way into these spaces…
Thanks
Mine was full of leaves. Anyway to keep leaves from getting down in there?
2004 Tacoma farm truck.
I wish man… just got to be diligent with cleaning it out. 👍
thanks
You're welcome!
Bro, you may have saved me a TON of money and headache. I'll check tomorrow. I'm hearing a ticking like that but isn't as loud. I wonder if I have soemthing in mine.
Hope so man! Saving money is exactly why I started this channel. Hope you got it fixed and thanks for commenting 👍👍
@FastFixTH-cam took it apart. Got it out, the motor had a clicking noise filled motor. I went to Toyota and they wanted $292 and $200 labor. I ordered one from Amazon for $46. Works like a charm! However my Tundra was a LOT worse with how tight it was with little room to pull it down due to glued/attached wiring that crossed the blower.
Man, I had to subscribe bc you have a lot of things I need to watch and do as well. Lol... your channel is great.
Thank you! There was a dead mouse in ours.
That’s just nasty! I don’t know how mice always find their way into the filter area… it’s like they just know…but should also know that their in for a carnival ride that will end their lives.
This video is my life rn
Hahah, you’d think they’d make these mouse proof, but….🤷♂️
@@FastFixTH-cam I have 2007 tpyota sienna. It's a mouse mansion rn
how u even got the screws off? one of mine is all rusted out
In that case, you might have to use an easy out…. Best of luck
EHH!!! WHOA!!!!
Haha, yes. It was nasty!
I liked the video; very helpful content. But if that’s what’s causing my heater to make noise, I’m not sure I want to find out!
Haha, It’s a surprise no one wants…. But better to find the nastiness than breath rodent air 🤢🤮
No cabin filter in the Tacomas ?
Hmm…. Good question. I don’t recall seeing one as changing it would be a requirement after a mouse nest problem. 👍
No. The late 90- early 00’s 4runners and tacomas don’t have cabin filters
Please tell me you at least cleaned that blower before putting it back in there with that dead ass mouse carcass 😂😂
Haha! Yes, 100% did! 😂👍
Thanks so much! This video helped me as I had the exact same problem but instead of a mouse it was a small family of illegal immigrants. No more fan noise!
😂😂😂 love it! I hope they were repatriated to their homeland and stay put! 👍👍👍
You didn’t smell anything lmao
Haha, wasn’t my truck 👍. Friends and favors…
I replaced mine and its still loud its only like super loud blowing noise
Hello. If there’s nothing in the fan housing, that’s causing any noise yet it’s still very loud check and see if you’re in cabin air filter is installed or potentially very clogged up. if there’s no in cabin air filter, I could see how there would be a lot of wind noise. If the cabin air filter is installed check and make sure that it’s not completely plugged up as that could potentially cause some noise as well. Best of luck!
