Default So this is why the blower motor makes noise

So my blower motor seized up. When I took it out I saw that the motor busted through the back of the housing and was spinning at an angle. i'll replace it soon but until then I just smashed a bunch of grease in there so it won't get stuck.

I wouldn't be risking running that motor. I free'd up a blower motor and had it running in a vice. 5 minutes later it was on fire.

Exactly! And now it has fuel from the grease!
