I am in the same boat. Mine started out as a squill when the fan was on low - turned on high and it went away. I wasn't up to changing mine as the temps haven't even hit freezing in weeks. Now it only works on settings 3 and 4 and makes the noise all the time. Tomorrow we are expecting high 30's so we are going to tackle it. I likewise found the price to be in the mid $250's. I stopped into O'Reilley's to get some synthetic oil and filter and asked if they carried a motor. YUP, not OEM but at $125 and with the same warranty I am going with it.

My floor vents don't work. Haven't worked since I bought the car. Anyone have any links on what I can do to get them to work? My toes are getting mighty cold in this sub zero weather.

Thanks,

Venus
