Can someone help me with my wife's car?

My wife has been hearing this noise get increasingly worse. Its a 2007 Prius. Is this something I can fix myself? Is it expensive? The more money I save, the more I can put into my Tacoma.

 

A noise can be anything at this point. Care to share where the noise is coming from?

 

Damn the video did't go through. Let me try again. It's a fast paced clicking noise that sounds like its coming from somewhere behind the dash. Goes off an on whenever it likes. Nothing I do seems to affect it, its just random.

 

Heat on or heat off? AC on or AC off

 

It was off but seemed to do it either way.

 

That is quite odd

 

It almost sounds like a cd player trying to eject.

 

Damn, sounds like a woodpecker on a mission. Almost sounds like there is an obstruction in the fan.

 

no cd's

 

Hmm could be the blower motor or something related to it. what ever it ends up being it does sounds like its moving.

 

sounds like blower motor is effed up

 

I see a pattern here. Hope its not harder than the Tacoma dash to take apart and investigate. Thanks.

 

Did you check the cabin air filter? I once found a leaf that was stuck in the blower making a ticking noise.

 

I'll look into that.

 

This happened to me yesterday. Had to drop the fan to get a couple leaves out that fell in when I was changing the filter.

 

Tacoma's are pretty easy to get to. I'm assuming the blower on the Prius would be under the glove box as well.

 

It is. I just looked it up. I didn't know it had to begin with. She's had that car for 3 years so its probably time to change it.

 

probably a plastic fender that is folded in from when your wife backed into that shopping cart

EDIT: I heard that noise once with my truck and it was from my fender liner hitting the tire.

It sounds like a belt hitting plastic, fan that got a rock knick etc, or plastic rubbing

 

Well its not that because the noise occurs while staying still and hadn't left the garage yet.
