Interior fan vibration? - Land Rovers Only

DFW Rusty · 11-02-2007, 09:45 AM

My rover has never done this before. But it has been sitting for a while and yesterday when I went to drive it I turned on the heater and while on high the fan starts vibrating. It is weird. It is almost like the fan is off balance or something! Any suggestions? Thanks!

Most likely got some leaves sucked into the blower motor. Open the hood and make sure all leaves are cleaned out of the intake below the windshield. Then look at pulling the blower motor out from under the love box area and clean it out.

Thanks Mike! I will give that shot, it did have a lot of debris laying on the crack between the hood and windshield, so it would be very easy for some to fall down into the blower area.

if a mouse gets in there and chews on those plastic blades then they can kill the whole thing.

or they die in there as well.

seen that a few times.

I ve seen dog food, dead mice and dead baby mice. You name it I have seen in those fans.

oh and they are not covered by warrantee.
