Hello all I'm new. Pleased tameetchas.
Will I be killed for mentioning a Fairmont in this forum??  If this is the wrong forum for this question please direct me to the correct one. I have a Fairmont Ghia, 2001 (for those who want the genital data, its a special edition fully Tickford'ized model, sunroof, high-end audio etc, bought for a song with less than 30000k on the clock - yes my head IS huge as a result!). When the interior fan is on (heating or cooling, doesn't matter), there is now an annoying buzz/clicking from the left hand side vents. Its almost certainly a leaf or other foreign object trapped in the fan somewhere. The only fix at the moment is the long-trip-and-stereo-on-11 method. Thing is - I have NO idea where to start looking. Is it likely to be something I can access from the engine bay or under the car? Under the dash? Should I be psyching up to actually remove the dash? Are there any workshop manuals online for this model that anybody knows of? Best Regs Jon |

Remove glove box ( easy ) and then take out the silver module from the black box ( a couple of screws ) this will give you access for a vacuum cleaner nozzle.
You should be able to see the fan so spin it by hand and listen for funny noises. Welcome to the Forums. There are plenty of how to's just do a search |
