ticking heating blower
1 - 18 of 18 Posts
so the only way to fix is to replace the blower??? are you kidding me. car is a 2005 gt with 50,000 miles on it. when you turn the fan on to defrost or heater it ticks on speeds one and two. i can't believe the blower would need replaced. if this is true how much of a job is that???

My car is doing the same thing, and the dealer said to me that it was the ac lines rubbing together, so they charged me out the ass to fix it and that was not even the problem, cuz its still doing it

That's weird, I've never heard of this happening. Hope mine doesn't start anytime soon!

Took mine to a dealership and had them fix it. It was covered under my extended warranty but the job is not all that difficult and the parts cost less than a hundred bucks. There is definitely a problem with the motors they used in the G6. The replacement motor is much quieter and does not tick at all.
The dealership must have checked over the rest of the car when they had it in because they noticed a small oil leak on the side of the engine that they found out was an intake manifold gasket leaking. The warranty covered this so I had them do it too under the same deductible. The warranty basically just paid for itself. Now the only other really annoying noise is the whistle from the panoramic sunroof.
I had the blower replaced with less than 55000 miles on the car. I don't think that something like that should wear out that fast, the Intake Manifold gasket Definitely should not have been worn out at that time but from everything I've read that is a fairly common problem on GM vehicles and the replacements don't fail anywhere near as quickly if they fail at all.
So overall I have to give Kudos to the dealership for fixing the problem quickly and finding another one before it turned into a blown engine!
BTW I had the work done at Fitzgerald Auto Mall in Frederick Maryland.

Mine ticks to does not bug me though! The dealer just replaced the steering column in mine for free and gave me a free rental!

my fan blower makes kind of a chirp sound...what is causing this and what is the repair trick?
the only "repair trick" I know is to replace the blower motor...it has to be cut out of the hvac box...there's a how-to in the Chiltons.
The job would be easier had they included an access panel but I guess that would have added a nickle to the production costs.
The oem blower & the installation ring are separate parts. Around $80 total at retail, IIRC. Never tried the aftermarket versions.

Too bad I'd have to pay someone to install it. You're talking to a guy who broke his headlight trying to get it off the car to change a bulb.
