Default 03 es300 A/C Blower Squeaking

My A/C heater blower squeaks when it is at about 1/2 speed. If I turn it up to full blast it will squeak louder and more rapid for about 30 seconds then stop. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? I assume I need to oil something, but I don't want my car to smell like WD-40. Any suggestions?

You probably have a rodents nest inside the blower wheel. Happened to my moms 4runner and my 2000 Solara. Its located under the glove box. Check it out.

I'll check it. Hope it's not that though.

Hi,

I can't be very helpful when it comes to the actual squeak itself, but if you do locate it and need to spray a lubricant try silicone spray instead of WD-40. The spray will do the same job and if choose a good quality one then there will be no strong smell either.
