HELP!! Interior Fan Noise

[fusionmike]

Hi I have a 2009 Ford Fusion SEL and the fan on the lowest 3 or maybe even 4 speeds doesn't matter what position but it makes a a high pitch chirping/squeaking/squealing noise that when i stick my head underneath the dash i can here, anybody else have a simialr problem? or a similar noise? can anyone help me or relate? and its not the moving air but almostl ike a bad bearing in the motor?

I had a chirping sound coming from my blower. I took it to the dealer and of course they could'nt hear it and they asked me to take it out with a technician. So the tech and I take it out and of course not a sound. I explain it to him again and he says I know what your talking about. It turns out that he drives a fusion and he has had the same problem himself. So the dealership replaced it no questions asked. Just take it into the dealers and they will replace the blower. If you check around the different forums on the net you will find it a reported issue.

I think there is a tsb out for this problem as well.

I logged onto this site in hopes that someone else was familiar with this problem. My husband cannot hear the noise and it drives me crazy. I hope that I do not have any problems getting the dealership to hear the noise.

Mine made a whirring sound as if a piece of plastic or insulation was touching the squirrel cage. I removed the fan myself (it's right behind the glovebox in plain sight with only 3 bolts) and loosened the fan case and a lot of black particles fell out. I shook out all I could, put it back together and it's fine. I had just missed the warranty cutoff, otherwise the dealer would have replaced it under warranty.
