    Yes, exact same thing happened to my truck. Horrible noise from behind the glove box, and the entire dash shook. Took it in and they replaced the blower motor (under warranty). They've replaced a good many of them, apparently.

    Unknown lift, maybe 2" I don't know how to ID it, and would rather set it back to stock.
    No one has a 7/32" 1/4 drive 6-point socket in their set??

    Mine broke tonight. Pretty sure I knew what it was when I heard the noise. Turned it off till I got home opened it up and was met with another "fun" surprise. The jokers replaced my K&N cabin air filter with theirs on the last 5k service a month ago. So now on top of having to take it in for them to fix the fan part I'm gonna have to ask them what are they gonna do about tossing my reusuable filter out. Gonna take my receipts with me.

    Checked my afe engine filter just to make sure they didn't toss that as well. I wouldnt put it past them even with the warning sticker on the cover.

    Mine just broke at 37k miles (2016). I’m handy enough to replace it myself, but I’m having trouble figuring out the aftermarket replacement part online.

    Anyone have a link? (Or a part number or keyword phrase to search for?)

    Same. Same. Do a lookup under a '15 and you'll see the same PN.

    Don't get aftermarket parts for this. Trust me. It was a nightmare trying to find one while waiting on Toyota to get parts in. I found one luckily, and actually have a spare. I'll wait until summer to sell mine HA!

    Great. Ordering now. I assume I’ll need the odd 5.5 socket?

    Any reason not to get an aftermarket part for this other than scarcity?

    None of the aftermarket units fit. At least 6 months ago when I was on the prowl. Everyone showed a part number for this truck, but it's not correct. The part for the 15 and earlier models doesn't fit the 16+.

    I tried Rock Auto, Orielly's, NAPA and AutoZone.

    My a/c motor has been working on and off...'07 Tacoma.

    If it doesn't turn on, I bang on the motor and it turns on.

    I'm thinking of replacing it anyway before the Phoenix summer heat kicks in...truck has 136k although only the last 4-5 years in PHX...

    Rockauto has four different brands. I see comments in this thread to steer clear of Four Seasons, but what about the other three? Any recommendations on those? TIA. :thumbsup:

    I just had mine replaced while the truck was in the shop for the rear diff TSB. Every time it was in the shop, the blower never made a noise, so luckily they went off of some videos that I have. I had 35,200 miles, so I wanted it swapped under warranty before 36k!
