The AC cools just fine. When I cut on the fan for any reason, inside above the raidio sounds like it has a bad bearing and it rattles at any speed. We cut it off right away each time.

Hi L.gorham, Thank you for the donation. Either the fan is bad or foreign objects has entered the blower compartment and brushing against the fan blades. You would have to remove the motor to check.

Blower motor can be removed by disconnecting the wireharness and the 3 attaching bolts.
