Engine runs quiet and smoothly until I turn on the blower motor fan, whether using air conditioner or not. I know it is not the blower motor because I disconnected blower motor power and still had same vibration under the hood. When I turn the vehicle off, it sounds like another motor shutting off. I cannot pinpoint where the vibration is coming from.

I know it does it without the A/C on, can you please unplug the A/C compressor to see if the problem is still there? If so, you have an A/C compressor going out or the system is overcharged or has too much oil in it. Also check the belt tensioner. Please check the images below.

Please let us know how it goes.
