    My heater/AC blower sounds like a dryer full of nickles. Does anyone have advise on this repair?

    Mine did this same thing. Took it in and Toyota fixed it under warranty. I can’t remember what they said they had to fix tho.

    It’s a well known issue with the blower fan blade cracking
    Best bet is let your warranty work for you and let the dealer fix it

    Too many trucks and mods to list.. check builds
    something probably got into the blower motor, if your still under warranty id just go to the dealer, if not its just 1 connector and 3 screws (8mm head) that hold the blower in and it'll just come out and you can check it.

    Good Call! I got the Blue Taco into Centennial Toyota, Northern Las Vegas, and they repaired the blower motor, under warranty, and got me headed back home. I really didn't expect one day service; Nice job.
