Default Squeeking from fan

Recently I have noticed a squeeking noise comming from my fan. I've tried to turn on/off the AC, the "recirculate"/"vent" air, "hot"/"cold", and where the air comes out of; "feet"/"dash", but none of these things seems to make a difference in the pitch, or speed of the squeeking. I do know that when I turn the fan speed completely off, the squeeking stops, and if I turn the speed up (1-4), the squeeking gets louder and higher pitched. Anybody have any ideas what is exactly wrong, and what I can do to fix this problem. Also how would I get to the fan that is squeeking. Thanks!

i believe its your blower motor. And depending on the year/make of the car, on integras its usually underneath the dash board.

this is my guess you either need a new fan or else you need to oil the fan. this fan is located under the pasenger side dash and is a bish to work on imo. gl messin with it.

Depending on the year it could be easy or very difficult to get the blower motor out to inspect it. If its 94+ body style they arent so bad to remove. Three screws (phillips head or 8mm hex) and you should be able to weasel it down and out of the hole it resides in. Most times you'll find pieces of leaf or pine needles making noise, but occasionally its the blower motor bearing that is making the noise and you would have to replace if you cant oil it. (never tried oiling it)

on our old accord it was the fan bearings squeaking, our mechanic said to just lightly hit the fan and it should stop it for a period of time, also you might be able to oil the bearing, if that is waht it is.
