[s-cars] Chirping sound from HVAC fan?

[Lewis Consulting]

Thks Mark,

I think it did chirp a little last winter, but went away...I think this car has some german gremlins....all named Fritz.  I have found that loud stereo volume helps with the chirping !

  My fan has chirped so long that I don't have any idea when it started.
  Maybe I should replace it, but I guess I don't consider it broke. And it's 
  not worth any HP gains so what's the point :-).

  My point I guess is they can last a real long time after they start to 
  chirp.
  YMMV of course.
