blower motor problems

today my fan/ blower motor made a loud noise while the ac was running almost like something was in the blower motor, it has been making noise on and off for a week i just havent had time to look at it, I turned it off til I got home but when I got home to look at it my blower would not work, would not even turn on. anyone ever had something like this happed should I just replace the whole blower motor or try to investigate it? could the cabin air filter have anything to with it?

 

You'll have zero problems finding a replacement motor on this forum if your looking for the direct replacement. I'm sure 99% members have one buried away in their garage.

 

Common issue, although so far my 2016 has never been replaced. Google is your friend many have replaced them..

 

I got one from my ‘21 took off sitting in the garage. Pm me if interested.

 

Any local parts house will have a replacement. It's very easy to replace.

Mine went out while on vacation last year.

O'Reilly's with a lifetime warranty...replaced it in their parking lot with their tools.

The speeds are a little different than the OEM, but works great.

Easy peasy.

 

I bought the cheapest one off Amazon and it’s still going 5 years and 40k miles later. Which is quite a bit longer than the factory POS made it, nearly double in fact.

 

I have a blower motor from my 21 with 34k miles on it if your interested.

 

Replace it with the Lexus model. Direct swap. Run 10% faster and it's quieter.
