I'm someone who has had mice get into their truck in the past.

THOSE mice are probably dead, considering the amount of mushrooms they ate out of a bag in my glovebox...

I moved where I parked at the time, and it solved my mice issue. This was a year ago.

However, the other day I noticed it sounds like there's a leaf or something in my blower motor. When the fan is running there's a very slight 'tick-tick-tick' that increases/decreases in speed with the knob and just plain ol doesn't happen with the hvac off.


Is cleaning the blower housing any at all easy? Or would it be a better solution to just leave the radio on all the time? Lol. Thanks.

By the way... where's the thread that shows you where to install the 'anti-rodent screen'?

Easy access through the glove box. Once you’ve done it 20-30 times it’s 2nd nature.
There are several threads on rodent proofing. I’ll post a link to mine.
