Considering our airbox is wide open at the front, I'm surprised you didn't find them there instead of in the in-cabin air filter which must be darn hard to get to for animals.

Adding to my bad experience, when I removed the old filter I think some of the debris fell into the blower motor. I had my heat on today sitting at stop light and noticed my car was shuttering a bit, but it didnt feel like it was coming from the motor, instead it seemed like it was coming from the blower motor. I stuck my head under their and its definately not acting the way it was before. My guess is one of the broken acorns or whatever fell in their and is throwing the fan off casuing the shuttering. So now Im going to have to take it to infiniti to get looked at. Im hoping my theory is correct and the blower motor just has to be cleaned. Im also hoping its not going to cause my a$s to bleed when they tell me the cost either.

I believe every 15K is standard... But this all depends on where you live and your daily driving conditions...

It's really not uncommon at all for this to happen in our s-h-i-t-t-y, miserable state. The winter weather rolls in, and tons of animals go into your engine bay seeking warmth after you leave your car and go into your house.

In addition to my 240SX..... my mom also had a dead mouse in her 2003 Honda Accord blower fan. She brought it to the dealer to diagnose a gross smell... and that ended up being the cause.

All us Mass G owners need to move to Cali. Hostile takeover.

You ever watch MTV Pimp my ride? There was an episode, where they were taking apart the dash, and they found a rat in there, and it was still alive. It scared the crap out of the crew.....

Nah. just ship all our rodents up there in the winter time.

Yep, got to watch for them in the house(attic) and the garage. Haven't had any at my new place last 3 years but had a hell of a time getting rid of them from the attic at my last home. Damn things can squeeze into a crevice less than 1/2" and go almost anywhere.
