My car's blower fan went out on mycar can someone give me some details on how to fix and maybe a part number or two.

 

did you check the fuse?

 

I have not checked it because when I cranked my car last night it made a horrible sound. It had been making a flicking noise like something just touching the blades as it spun. I was also told by a dealership I may have a short in my fan control because it never cut-off.

 

tree leaves, or some debris? it is quite easy to remove the glove box, and see from underneath how you can remove the blower motor.
Suggest a closer inspection before you purchase needless parts.
Sometimes it is the resistance block that selects all 4 speeds that is fried. There was a recent post on this resistor block. look here
