Noisy Fan In Climate Control Module

[Guest mjp753]

My climate control seems to have developed a noisy fan. There has been a thread saying this is a fairly common problem but I couldn't find any detail on how to fix it? Would you have to remove the radio and to somehow unclip the climate unit for easy access? or is it more complicated than this in which case I might get some help. If I find it - is it a WD40 job?

Thank you

I used a camera lens brush and the hose of the vacuum cleaner to suck the dust out of mine and it stopped squeaking/buzzing. (Don't overdo it with the vacuum though)

Thanks Seatkid, but I presume I have to get the unit out first?

No, did it in situ. Just poked around and in the little grill next to the display..

Tried the hoover and some poking around in that small grill with a brush but no joy for me! Any other ideas? After a short while it still starts 'humming ' - even after a/c is turned off?

Update: whilst car in for service asked the mechanic (nonFord) to look at it. He said he would try to get a new fan motor. Unfortunately he said you can't buy it on its own - you need a new climate unit

I took mine out and pulled it apart, then took the fan out and oiled it, I never had a problem with it in the first place and do not now but thought I would do it anyway.
