Replaced the AC/Heater Blower Motor under the dash. It was making a bit of humming noise when running at lower speeds.
Found a used assembly from a wrecked 996 with only 26K miles on it for $45. The recycler had units from 986's but they were wanting $95. for those. I wasn't going to question the pricing, the part numbers are the same, for 996 and 986!
Removing the old unit and installing the new took less than a hour. I found that the bearing in the old motor was wobbly and well worn after 22 years of almost continual running. The replacement runs smoothly and no humming when running at low speed!
