Default A bird in my glovebox?

I have a weird whirling noise that emanates from the passenger side middle air vent. It gets relatively more noticeable on left turns. Maybe my blower motor bearings? Any ideas guys? Wear is the blower motor? Behind the dash, probably. Is it a bitch to replace?[:'(]

I just remembered; it goes away when the climate control is off? I think I answered my own question. Help is encouraged and appreciated.

Thanks
E

Nevermind I going to pull the blower tonight. It' s gotta be it. The squirell cage must be off balance.

If you have bird in your glove box you'll probably need a cat.

But you'llwant to follow that with something to get rid of the cat so you'll need a dog.

To make the dog go away you'll need a boy with a whistle

The boy with a whistle will attract a bird and then you'll have to find a way to get both the bird and the boy out of the glove box.

A cat will get ridof the bird but you'll be stuck with the boy.
A dog will get rid of the cat but you'll still have the boy
Another boy with a whistle will get rid of the dog so you'll have two boys with whistles.
Two boys with whistles will attract a flock of birds and you'll need a new car to accomodate them all.

Better yet -- just strangle the damn bird and you'll save a lot of trouble.

haha, nh_usa, that was awesome. btw coors, did you figure out what the noise was yet? i know that the bearings have started making some noise in my blower motor, but just squirted it with some wd40, and it seemed to fix it for now.

Sometimes when I'm driving really fast I hear a whining noise from the passenger seat.

Pulled the blower and squirrel cage sprayed it with a little PB blaster (that stuff is ridiculous) and it ceased for now. We'll see! Blower housing is right behind the glove box. 5 8mm screws drop the glove box, 3 more drop the blower housing...thats it! Cage was really clean and didn't seem off-balance. Brushes also looked good. I think the bearings might be feeling a little resistance.
