Replacing the connector fixed the electrical problem but I had some more fun. When I started the fan I got grinding noises! I figured out that you can remove the cabin filter and reach in a spin the fan by hand. It was definitely not spinning free when mounted but fine when removed. This video showe...

I have had this problem for the past year of so. I had my mechanic look and last year and he didn't find anything obvious. I had been dealing with it by turning the fan off when I was standing still.

It was a small dent and I thought I could pop it out from the back and things would realign and the lock would work again. No luc...
