Fan making a noise

My fan is making a funny noise. You can really hear it when I turn the car off. Is it the fan, the motor, or both?

Re: Fan making a noise

Plastic fan blades might be rubbing the shroud. Spin it by hand and check it out.

Very difficult to diagnose over the internet.

Maybe make a short video for us.
