Blower Motor.

OK guys I found the inlet and it is right on top of the motor..the little ****s are coming up the wheel well and (if you look under the hood to the left side of the washer bottle) there is a square end which is open straight into the front firewall)

Removed the complete top panel (the panel thats goes end to end below the windshield). Once removed there is a black cover which goes over the motor.

Full of branches and twigs... now that being said teh cover doesnt ahve a hole in it !!!

so there is till a little mystery as yet.
they have been eating the joint sealer as I can see that scraped away.

will take some pictures and see if I can post them.

because no doubt someone else will have the problem.

updates soon.

CONCLUSION !!!!


hopefully the pictures turn out.

found the problem, found how they were getting in... turns out there is nothing to stop them going right into the motor.

my fix .... made a wire mesh cage/ cover. covered the intake hole for fan and the two water drains from the landing panel.....

water can still get out... i used a 1/4 mesh from Home depot.

hope it helps.

GLad you won the war!! I am supprised there is no cover/guard at all over the motor. I may make one and put it on mine just because. Hate for a small stick or leaves or something to end up in there. Also supprised there is no cabin air filter. Mine is a 2005 also.
