You have to remove the cover(break off plastic heat rivets) theres nuts under that, then you need to remove the nuts and cut out the blower. Or you can spray some electrical llube in their. Ive used CRC Switch lube with good results, also several different brands of dry film lubes.
I'm not incompetent, but I am not the most intuitive at working around problems on my own. With a fairly detailed walkthrough, I'm sure I and anyone else could do this.
And then we'd feel a whole lot better about our Cobalts.

I have had a suspension squeak since my car was new.. But somehow it always stops when I take it in.. lol. Too bad I don't live at the dealership because I'd never have the problem! I have a few random squeaks and stuff.. But **** happens.. I'm not driving a Mercedes.. And PA roads blow..

Someone should do a How-To with pictures, seeing as how this is such a common problem.

My blower doesnt make noise, so I am not cutting my car open for no reason( I am not that altruistic)

What really is annoying is that the dealership won't do this for you.....

I had that noise back in Oct.
I took it to the dealer (under warranty) and they fixed it.
They said the blower motor just needed to be lubed.
Quiet ever since.

Well I've got an 05... anyway this thing sucks, I chipped away at those rivets and still holding on. that's all for now, its too cold. If I can get the damn rivets off I'll be glad to try and make a how to. IF i get it off. For now all the banging seems to have moved things to not squeak, but when I hit a bump I know that'll change. Im thinking to get a large bit and drill them out, then tap the hole and use screws/bolts to hold it after.

Bumping this in the hopes for a how-to, as my fan noise has become louder since I started this topic. I can now hear it over my music at 1/4th volume. Now even trying to turn up the music to ignore the problem doesn't work!
