I'm looking for a motor also, 2003, saw this, but have not ordered from them.

I got a blower from NAPA for roughly $100. However it's a generic motor. It whines more than the stock one, but at least it doesn't make that nasty bearing noise on and off.

I heard a while back that a 4th gen blower motor works in the 5th gen. Look around for a 4th gen blower motor at local jy?

Check out NAPA for in-cabin air filters. They sell WIX brand for $32 I believe. Still expensive but a bit cheaper than OEM.

I have been wondering about this as well...my blower is making that annoying clicking type noise. I just replaced my microfilter with an OEM one a couple months ago and it seems to have gotten worse since then.

Mines made that "warning buzz" for a week then stopped. Ill just get one written off at work. Anyone else get the buzzing sound inside the car that goes away when you turn the heat off?

If by "warning buzz" you mean a loud rumbling, groaning sound...then yes I get that...it usually only happens on the colder winter days...I guess I have to replace it...eventually...

I don't know if I would call it a buzzing sound, more like a fast clicking sound. But it does usually go away when I turn the heat down/off.
