I had a similar noise in the fan mechanism of our Dodge RAM 1/2 ton
pickup. It was caused by rat going through on opening under the hood, just
behind the passenger side front wheel. The rat would bring a lot of leaves
into that area to make a nest. I had to remove what I could of the inside
the cab heater components and then reach my arm into the mechanism as far
as I could and grab as much of the leaves as possible, over a period of
multiple tries. That process was repeated at least two more times as the
rat was very determined to be build the nest. Finally I bought a bottle of
Mighty Mint Rodent repellant online and sprayed the stuff into the area
under the hood.
In addition, some electrical components in my Tesla M3 quit working.
The NOLA Service Center fixed the problem of wires that had been chewed
through by.. you guessed it, Rats. I now have to remove the frunk tub about
every two weeks. That requires the removal of seven 10mm bolts and then
pulling three plastic pieces off, and pulling each side of the tub up from
some pressure holders. The rat had made a nest in the front area behind the
front bumper. I now soak two cotton balls with peppermint oil and place
them in the area where the nest was. In addition I leave peppermint soaked
cotton balls I the frunk, the trunk, the glove box and under both front
seats. I spray Mighty Mint Rodent Repellent on the area under the car. I
use a similar amount of peppermint soaked cotton balls in the Dodge pickup
and in our Motor home every two weeks. It is a pain to have to do this so
often, but it is better than the rats.
This is all because I live in a rural area with sugar cane fields
immediately behind our house. Twenty years we lived here without this type
of rat problems, and then the rats moved in.
