Whistling Climate control?

Whistling Climate control?
Hey All,
I have a 98 with Digital climate Control- I noticed lately that when the heat is on I hear a whistling- When I turn the climate control off it goes away, so clearly it is only occuring when the fan is on- I don't hear the whistling sound(almost like a loose bearing?) when the fan setting is on the 3rd and 4th level, meaning the more powerful fan settings?
anyone ever encounter this problem- It's really annoying!
Thanks for any help

I've had 2 Maximas (both 4th gen ones) and the fans have squeaked/whistled a little on both of them. It only makes the sounds loud enough to be annoying on fan speed 1, but makes it very slightly on fan setting 2 as well. Since I've noticed it on both Maximas, I have always assumed its normal. I doubt there's any way to get to the fan in there and quiet it down. It's never affected performance in any way...
Hope this helps - Chad

The TSB for this problem is NTB99-071A. Basically, all the TSB says is to install a new blower motor cover, which is part number 27227-0E002. That's if your climate control makes a light ticking or humming noise while on fan speed 1 or 2. If there's a loud rattle, clatter, jolt, or flap, then you probably just need to clean the blower case.
If anyone wants a copy of the TSB itself, e-mail me at bodziana@hushmail.com and I'll see what I can do.
