I have a 95 Legacy and as of yesterday started getting a clicking noise from the heater fan. Sounds like a playing card in between bicycle spokes. I hope this doesn't mean the fan is going. I don't keep anything on the dash so there is no way that anything fell down the vent. Anybody had this problem before?

"Problem" ?

 

This is standard on all my Subarus. One is brand new....

 

 

Of course a leaf or similar makes it much worse. You can remove the cylindrical fan quite easily. Get under the dashboard on the pass side and undo three screws and one hose.

 

Or try this: Full speed on the fan, rotate the vent direction knob around a bit, sometimes this will blow the bits out.

thanks. full speed on the fan and rotating the vents seems to have solved the problem although i did not see any bits fly out of the vent.
