The fan in the interior of the car, for the climate control, has been making alot of noise. i have determined that it is the fan located on the right side of the dash. I was curious as the best way to go about replacing this fan, or simply just to access it to further investigate the problem.

    The fan may be making noise due to rodent nesting or something simple "caught" in the fanblades on removal you may see something obvious. You will need instructions/illustrations so as not to damage any trim. Autozone have some popular workshop manuals for free on line once you register (for free) on their website http://bit.ly/autozone_repair_info .There is a company that independent auto repair shops "buy" their information from that offer a very reasonable service to do it yourselvers. You get a one year subscription to year make and model specific repair procedures, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... great quality information same as the professionals have ,much better than generic workshop manuals from parts stores, much cheaper than the factory manual. http://bit.ly/alldata_repair_manuals or try http://bit.ly/mitchell_repair_manuals_online and get an online repair manual subscription.
