Hi
My air con is grating and whining every 20 or so seconds, sounds like a fan rotating and grinding?

Anway, as a pensioner here in Melbourne i can't afford much mechanical/electrical repair (here in Melbourne).

I have gassed myself with WD40 trying to get the stuff into all the vents and sliders for the air con (1993 super custom) and eventually lost the red long thingy that attaches to the nozzle of the WD40, down one of the air vents.

Can anybody tell me step by step or an easy way to get to the aircon (and its fan)? Someone previously mentioned it's behind the glove box?? So, if a mechanic put it up on a hoist it wouldn't be visible would it, it's really a stupid thingy stuck behind stuff and I'm going to tear it all apart and be stuck (?)

(I can do stuff, I did fix my partly smashed window wiper water bottle, didn't think I could replace that so covered the hole and epoxied and then used tape).

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
jen

Is it definitely related to the aircon? I recently had the radiator shroud surround the cooling fan crack, and that contacted the fan. The grinding noise came and went depending on engine revs.

i don't know what a radiator shroud is but it gets worse when i turn the air con up. I WD40d thru the cracks each side of the glove box (because I don't want to take it off if i am going to get into more trouble) and it seems to have softened a bit, but sometimes it just goes nuts. Not whether it's revved or speed or whatever though.

The interior fan is behind the LHS headlamp (you can see if from there) and behind the glovebox.
The exterior fan is on top of the horizontal radiator under the front of the van.
