Now that it's cold and I got the heat on from time to time the fan will kind of make a groaning noise intermittently. Not very often but every now and then. Is there a simple and easy way to lube the fan without having to tear the dash apart and pull the Box out?
Getting time for fan motor no taking dash apart 3 10 mm move a piece of plastic . Blow out hole and vac it w shop vac. Put in new .
Does it make that noise if the fan is run and the heat isn't on? If not, it might be air in the heater core rather than the blower itself. I don't recall if the Prius has a valve that controls whether coolant goes through the core. On cars that do those sometimes make noises when the valve opens or closes. Same thing with blend door actuators.
