Last year I was having some issues with the blower motor in my Civic. I thought it was a bad connection, but I've been having nearly continuous issues with it since then. It started making noise and kept getting louder. I frequently had to smack the bottom of the motor to get it going. Eventually it started turning slower and slower. A few of weeks ago it quit working completely. The weather was relatively warm and dry so I wasn't all that affected by not having a heater/defroster/vent. I just had to keep my window partially open. Then it got cold again. That was kind of horrible. And it is starting to rain again. I need to do something.
Last year I tried to take the blower motor / fan cage assembly out to inspect it because I knew then that it might become a problem. Unfortunately, my car originally came with AC and the evaporator needs to be removed to get the blower motor out. It's a stupid design. So I never finished the job then. I need to tear the dash apart again to see if I can just loosen the whole thing to allow enough access to get the blower motor out. I wish I knew if there was any freon left in the system. Stupid AC.
