Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / May 2007noisy fan on '97 Sentra
What's invloved in replacing the blower fan on a 1997 Sentra? The one on my sons car is noisy and I want to help him replace it. Mark piece of cake remove a few screws and thats it > What's invloved in replacing the blower fan on a 1997 Sentra?

I had more time in figuring out how to get the d#%n glovebox out first and then the panel around the glovebox. Once I got these out (without damaging anything) I can see how easy the blower motor will be replaced.

Drain the housing.  SignatureBill In Hamptonburgh, NY To email, remove the double zeroes after @ Bill, It is a grinding/squeaking noise that speed dependent. It's my sons car I don't hear it all the time only occassionally. My '94 Sentra never makes any bad blower motor noises and I've never replaced it so that's why I asked if its a difficult job. Once I had to replace the blower motor on a Chevy and nearly had to remove the fender to do it.

I ordered a new blower motor and it came in this week. My son came to visit so we could replace the blower motor. I let him take out the motor so he would get the experience. Turns out there was a peach pit inside the squirrel cage fan. Yes, a peach pit. He's had the car for years (purchased used) and said it has always made that noise. I assumed it was a bad bearing. So this leave only a couple possibilities. 1) Was put in there at the factory ... 2) Practical joke by someone who previously owned the car, or someone played a joke on the previousl owner. I've looked all all the vents and so forth and it seems impossible for the peach pit to have fallen in from the dash or an air vent. We took the unsued, but new motor back, and the store issued a full credit.

That reminds me of when I had a very loud flapping sound in the blower of my '94 Altima. I took the motor out, and found a sheet of paper towel in there! I'd had the windshield replaced the week before and they must have left it around the duct for the blower and it eventually was sucked in.
