When I turn on the heater or A/C(either by pushing "Auto" or regulating
the fan speed manually), I hear some chirpping sound (almost like birds
chirpping) coming from under the dash. This sound is in addition to the
regular blowing sound coming from the heater. It doesn't matter how
high the fan is set, the sound is pretty much the same and it goes away
once the heater/A/C is turned off. So I think it is pretty much coming
from the fan. Except for this weird sound, my A/C and heater work fine.

First, what is that fan called? Is that the blower motor? Second, is it
really my problem? Can I get to it somehow and may be clean the blades
(if any) or something?

Welcome to the club!  I have posed this very same question to this
newsgroup quite some time ago.  Apparently this is a common problem
with the Max and there is a TSB out on it.  Nissan says to install some
sort of sound insulation, but this seems like a band-aid approach to
me.  I believe that the correct fix is to install a new blower motor.
According to another member of this newsgroup the operation isn't too
difficult. I just haven't gotten around to trying it yet.

To cope in the meantime, try doing what I do.  Put a CD in your Bose
player and crank up the volume!  ;-)

Anyone knows what exactly does the TSB say? How do I insulate the
blower motor? How do I take it out in 2000 I30?

Passenger side under the dash.  Get some of that aluminumized bubble
wrap and you can tape it in place over the blower motor.  I would
replace the blower motor first.

Anyone has the actual text of this TSB with pictures in pdf or any
other format?
