my a/c fan unit squeaks, only on low. It is driving me freakin crazy

What do I need to do/use to get rid of this problem?? Take fan unit out and oil it? Or are they a bearing unit? Please help before my steel cap boots deal with it

I have the same prob, passenger side, and yes it drives you nuts!! it happened when I first got it, so I sprayed silicon spray into it, worked but wouldnt reccomend it as you gotta guess where it is and stinks for days when the fans going.

I had the same problem until I read this,

Yeah I had a look at it..seems that forum has two issues going on though..to solve the ticking noise I gather you stretch the springs...but to stop the squeeky I need to use engine oil to lubricate it instead of a silicone oil..right?

yeah I had the squeaky noise, and I used engine oil, but I put the hole fan unit out and oiled it up, and no squeak's its been 3 weeks, silicone spray only lasts like a week.

Wait...what did you do? put a hole in the fan unit itself and filled it with oil???

lol no, I put the hole fan unit out and oiled up all the spinning components

LOL gotcha now. Sweet this should fix the problem

how do you detach the fan from its motor?

argh couldnt get the fan off....however I took off the plastic cover and then took the metal bottom off the motor and oiled the cup that the shaft sits in...hope it works....although I am suprised there is no bearing on the bottom. It sure does heat up when the fan is on...
