Holiday Rambler Engine A/C

[cnocmmz]

I have a 2005 Holiday Rambler Vacationer, and it seems the engine (not coach) A/C is making a funny noice when just the ACC is on and not started. It seems to work OK once the vehicle is running but if I just leave the ACC portion on for a some reason even only for a minute it makes a sqealing noise. Any ideas would be appreciated?

thanks so much

Are you talking about the "dash air"?

If the engine is not started, (aka: not running), the dash A/C can't make any noise, but the 12VDC "blower motor" can.

When my "dash heat/air conditioner blower motor" was squealing I found an exact replacement at NAPA.

I see, so order the part at autozone or Napa. Is the part on the blower under the passengers dash, expensive?

My blower motor, with the squirrel cage, was about $30 4-5 years ago.
I had no part number, so I removed mine and took it to my local NAPA store.
They had an exact replacement in stock.

Okk, easy to remove and was yours on passenger side under front dash?
Thanks

Yes, on the front firewall/bulkhead
On my coach it was only a matter of disconnecting 2 wires and removing 6-8 screws.

Mine used a NAPA BK6551777:NAPA AUTO PARTS, (of course yours may be different)?

BTW, because the "squirrel cage blower wheel" on the new one was not as wide as the original I removed it and reused the old squirrel cage.

Same procedure on my 97 Endeavor last year. When I took the old blower out, it had a sticker with the P/N on it. About $35 at Advance Auto. In stock ... if I remember correctly it was a common Chevy item.
