Blower motor in my truck is making some crazy vibration noises. I'm guessing something popped on the squirrel cage and it's out of balance now.


Ford quoted me $233 for the new motor and $75 for labor for install.

It looks like a pretty easy fix and the part I found online was only $70. Am I missing something? Is the mark up for OEM really 3x-4x?

Remove the blower yourself and take out the broken actuator that's rattling around in there.

Looks like you may be right. After a little further research it sounds like it's the recirculation actuator. I'll pop the blower out tonight and check it out.

Yes I had the same thing happen. Tried to search for my old thread but it has been more than a year ago.

The good news is it will cost you nothing as long as you can live with no Max AC recirculation. The bad news is.getting that third bolt out..

Saw on the f150 forums that guys were zip tying the vent shut so that it was always on recirc. I can live with out it more of the time here in Oregon though so it may not be that big of a deal.

Seriously. What ****ing sadistic ford engineer put that third bolt way the **** back there? I think I'm going to have to take the carpet out.

Pull the fiber cover off, remove mat, pull carpet back, fuse box cover, and you're good to go!

Finally got around to finishing this up after getting home from a trip.
Looks like it was that same plastic piece that breaks off for everyone else. How was this not a recall?
