Rumbling sound from heater

Rumbling sound from heater
The heater on my 00 Max makes a rumbling sound when I turn the blower on to heat the car. It's only with the heater, not the ac, and it's only when the blower is on 2, 3 and 4. It sounds like it's coming from under the dash right in front of the glove box. Anyone have any ideas? The blower/heater works fine, it's just that intemittent sound.

its not the blower motor, its the squirell cage within the blower. either way you will have to replace the blower assembely.

Is that this thing? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-01...QQcmdZViewItem
Do you know how hard it is to get in there and replace?

Yeah, mine is worse than ever this year. I've pulled it apart countless times, and that dang noise always comes back. My sister's maxima does the same thing...
it's beyond frustrating.

It's probably the blower motor. Buy the one on Ebay that offers a lifetime warrenty. About $50.
It doesn't hurt to check if something is in there causing the noise. Cleaning out leaves, paper and such could be an easy fix.

I had the same problem. I just pulled the panel off and removed the blower motor and fan (3 screws). There were leaves and a piece of foam in there. I took them out and problem solved. Check that before you order a new motor

Hey, it could be M&Ms that were dropped down the defrost vent (aka Tommy Boy)
But at least they had the hard candy shell to keep them from melting.
