Is it my blower motor?

My 2002 Avalon started making a ticking noise that sounds like it is coming from the blower motor. I took off the glove box to locate the noise and that appears to be where it is coming from. All the speeds of the fan work but the noise is very annoying! Sometimes when I start the car it takes a few minutes for the fan to start.

Can someone help me pinpoint my problem? And if I do need to replace the motor, should I go with a new one or look for a used one? Thanks!

A new OEM blower motor MSRP is $162.56. Are you going to be doing this yourself? Now, I know no one at TN pays MSRP, I offer 30% off MSRP pluse shipping and a couple of bucks for materials, etc. That means, that a new blower motor would run you a minimum of $114.00 and can only guess that shipping would not be any more than $10.00. The question you'd have to ask yourself is how much time and effort is worth the savings. I don't know how much a used one goes for. Personally, I don't think it is worth it and the reason I think that is because you don't know how long an used one will last. If you are keeping the vehicle, I'd say get a new one, if you are getting rid of it, or the vehicle isn't in really great shape, then I'd get a used one.

I hope this information serves you well.

If you need any further information, or have any questions, please let me know or contact me. You can PM me, email me at garys@toyotaofnewnan.com; visit our website at www.toyotaofnewnan.com or call us.
