VerifiedIf the fan only works on high replace the blower motor resistor which is in the same area behind the glovebox so thats probably what is making the noise. Let me know if you have questions. Thanks.
I'll see if I can find you some instructions, give me a minute. Thanks.
Remove the kick panel on the passenger side to access it, here is a picture.
Just remove the cover below the glovebox and print off the picutre and you should be able to see the resistor. If you run into questions you can reply at anytime. Thanks.
