So, anyone know anything about the heating systems in these cars? That's right, my heat is effed up! It's not bc of the cold either, bc we have had much colder days thant his morning and its worked fine.

Over the past few weeks, when i start my car in the morning I would here this high pitched whining sound and almost sounded like something was stuck in the fan, but it only lasted for about 3-4 seconds. This morning was a different story.

I get in the car, let it run for a few, go to turn my heat on.... and nothing... all of a sudden it kicks in, high pitched noise, like ive never heard before and i was like WTF and turned it off. The sound it coming from the passenger side, almost up and under the glove box. You can't hear it on 1, but when you turn the heat up higher to 2-4, its loud... once you hit 3, the car almost has this rumble to it, kinda like if I was to be in 5th gear doing 20.. .that low groaning sound ya know ?

I tried to change the settings I was using , from hot to cold, and defrost to feet and so on, nothing worked. Before I call Ford, any suggestions on what this might be would be helpful.

Thanks guy...
The saying is right, when it rains, it pours...

Sounds like you got the infamous loud ford heating fan BAD... could be that the fan just isnt balanced anymore... if it gets off center will make a horrid noise!!!
