Fan motor noise...

[Dave]

I seem to get a rattle from the fan when the engine is cool (after the "cool engine" light has gone off, for about the first 15 minutes of driving) and at an idle, while the fan (any setting) is on max heat and at speed 2 or greater. Any suggestions?

It goes away when the engine warms up, doesn't rattle while I'm driving, and is definitely coming from the front/dash area.

It might be the "Upper Instrument Panel Rattle" issue (see the TSB in this post):

I forgot that there is also a TSB on the "Blower Motor Noise & Vibration" where the resolution is the installation of plastic mesh between the glove box and the fan assembly.
